High quality Live Albums

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I'm looking for stuff like Morbid Angels Entangled in Chaos and Behemoths At the Arena ov Aion – Live Apostasy.

I don't really care what metal band it is, just that it IS very listenable.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

My favourite live albums:

Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes
Amon Amarth - Wrath of the Norsemen
Symphony X - Live on the Edge of Forever
King Diamond - Deadly Lullabyes Live
Metallica - Live Shit: Binge & Purge
Testament - Live in London
Iron Maiden - Live After Death, Rock in Rio
Black Sabbath - Past Lives, Reunion

You cannot go wrong with most live albums, only a crap band sounds better in the studio than live. But yeah certain bands like Amon Amarth sound vastly better live than in studios.

Iced Earth - Alive in Athens - best live album ever -

 

[Krow]

I've heard Alive in Athens is really good from a lot of different people.

Alive in Athens (Iced Earth)
Binge n Purge(Metallica)
S&M (Metallica)
A Night to Remember(Evergrey)
Crash Test(Trauma)

I am generally not a fan of extreme metal live recordings because you usually can't pick up a lot of the little details over the vocalist and the crowd. (More due to bad live production than anything else.
