    I've got a live Springsteen album - recorded live in 1978 at the Capital Hall in Passiac,  New Jersey, which may or may not be a bootleg.

    Woodstock: Best ever festival
    Free Live: Probably the UK's most underated Blues band, messrs Rogers, Koss, and Frazier.
    Live at  Leeds: The Who : wonderful concert
    Band of Gypsys:Machine Gun, Who knows?, Power of Soul.
    Wheels of Fire Cream: 3 part blues rock, probably the best drum solo of all time,and  'Spoonful'/Crossroads still one of the best adaptions of  blues music by musicians outside the Delta.
    Live at the Roxy, and Elsewhere: Frank Zappa doing what he did best, taking the piss out of people
    Frank Zappa: You can't do that on stage anymore: Vol 1-6, Well  most bands would not even try to attempt this nowaday's even if they could play the music. 
    Joni Mitchell: Shadows  and Light  concert:with among others the wonderful Jaco Pastorius.
    Live at the Isle of Wight 1970: Hendrix, ELP,The Doors,Joni Mitchell,Free, Rory Gallagher,10 years after,The Who,Family, Jethro Tull,etc, etc : The concert that set the standard for the UK, in musical terms Glastonbury has had it's moments, still the largest attended  festival, where the music business clashed with the counter culture.
    Taste: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970: Europes greatest  bluesman, putting it on the line?
    Led Zep: Earls Court 75.

    In a time warp? that would be me.........
