dylan's bootleg series volume 4 ("royal albert hall") and volume 5 (rolling thunder tour) are out of this world good.

that spiritualized live album is probably the best thing they released. "live rust" is an obvious favorite. "precise modern lovers order" isn't a classic but is very fun. "live seeds" is pretty solid.

how long until the first "throwing copper" joke?

I would agree except for the year at my first job that "Layla" from that was incessently played on all the pop stations that everyone's radios were tuned to.

White Stripes - Peel Sessions I & II

Captures the intensity and emotion that makes Jack White the guitar hero of this generation. Explosive from start to finish. If Pete Townshend heard it, he'd say the Stripes are underrated.
