The guitarists on that are Al Anderson and Junior Marvin. I don't think I've ever seen an article, maybe not even a mention, of Junior in a British guitar magazine. British guitarist who played on really huge records with Bob plus work with Steve Winwood,gigs with Tina Turnerand many reggae artists ( and he allegedly turned down a gig with Stevie Wonder).

The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East.

ABB seem to be much bigger in the US than they are here, which might explain why it's taken until page 2 of this thread for anyone to mention it.

I'm a big fan if ABB but I thought it had already been mentioned. 

Gassage

+1 for Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous 

and the one to rule them:

UFO - Strangers in the Night

RocknRollDave

Iron Maiden - Flight 666 = much similar setlist to Live After Death but better recording and performance, IMO

A lot of good mentions so far - Queen Live Killers was the first one that jumped into my head.

I'll add 11,000 Clicks by Moloko but I can only see it available as a DVD. I know the audio must exist as I've got it but it doesn't seem to be on Amazon.

Spin doctors - Homebelly groove, takes a few spins, but play along with it and it is allot of fun.
SRV at Carnegie hall

ICBM

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust The Motion Picture

Can't believe those haven't been mentioned yet!

Also…

Heather Nova - Wonderlust
The Killers - Live From The Royal Albert Hall
Warren Zevon - Learning To Flinch (despite having possibly the worst acoustic guitar tone in history on it)
