What's the best live bootleg in your collection?

I just bought an Elvis Costello Live in DC '79, and while listening, I realized how well this album was recorded. So what are some good live bootlegs you have?

It is hard to say, as they all have something off about them, and a few were legit released later ( Elvis Costello at El Mocambo in Toronto, for one, Led Zep BBC where they stick Its Your Thing in Communication Breakdown). I remember being impressed with The Beatles in Paris. Very nice jacket, and worth it if only for George Harrison getting a tad wild for a bit in a Carl Perkins cover. There is also the Doors NY PBS radio gig which is live studio.
 
I picked up a Radiohead live in Germany 2001 bootleg a while ago that's a fantastic show and decent recording. The label (Vinyl Passion) presses boots, but they're well done.
 
Tom Petty 1977 Record Plant comes to mind. Great sound quality and performance. Al Kooper even sits in on part of the set.
