big big fan of live albums and I find I can easily listen to and enjoy a live album from an artist I wouldn't really choose and have none of their studio work.
Van Morrsion - It's Too Late to Stop Now
I bloody love this album, Van the Man is on fire and the band (The Caledonia Soul Orchestra) are just amazing, I would have loved to have been at one of those gigs but I was one 1 yo at the time.
anyhoo that is easy on the top of my recommendations list for a live album to try.

Forget the stories about it not being a true live album and having multiple overdubs. Live footage of Lizzy showed that they could pull it off and represent themselves as per the album. The producer, Tony Visconti, just added some hundreds and thousands to a perfectly iced cake
How the West was won- Zeppelin
Unplugged- Alice in Chains (Clapton is good too)
Stripped- Stones.
(The original, double LP from the mid 70s).
'Frampton Comes Alive' probably set the benchmark for live albums - though probably too 'familiar' by now, perhaps.
The live tracks on Santana's 'Moonflower' have a fire that has to be heard; the instrumental 'Europa' is stunning.
Eric Clapton's 'EC Was Here' from the mid-70s proves he could still play, during a period where he was down-playing lead work on studio records.
Dire Straits 'Alchemy' probably represents the band at their peak. They went on to greater success but post-Love Over Gold material was more radio-friendly - and gigs became 'very' big.
'Pulse' by Pink Floyd - stadium rock of the very highest quality.....
Queen - Live Killers
Portishead - Roseland NYC Live
Nirvana - Unplugged
Blackberry Smoke - Leave a scar Live in North Carolina (for all your Southern / Country Rock needs)
Motel Kings - All Right All Night
Rory Gallagher - Beat Club Sessions
John Mayall - either of the Live in 67 albums recently released.
Depeche Mode -101
Aerosmith - A Little South of Sanity
Warren Haynes - Live at the Moody Theater (sic)
Any of the official Gov't Mule live concert downloads (every single gig is recorded and made available)
Smiths - Rank
Morrissey - Beethoven Was Deaf
AC/DC - Live (the 2 CD one)
Live at Carnegie Hall - Ryan Adams
Jimi Hendrix - Band of gypsies
Status Quo - Quo Live
Queen - Live Killers
Scorpions - Tokyo Tales
Frank Marino - Mahogany Rush Live
MSG - Live At The Budokan
Cheap Trick - Live At The Budokan
Kiss - Alive I and II
