For me it has to be Frampton....timing is everything when it comes to that....I was 16 and just starting to become more sophisticated about things like albums and real music....the sounds that that man could make is guitar make changed my whole appreciation for music.
And Jackson Browne Running on Empty wilk also always hold a place in my heart as i was in the crowd on one of the cuts.

Made In Japan, Zappa- I erally like their version of Kentucky Woman. Live At The Roxy And Elsewhere is great and Weather Report put out some live stuff- they're one of my favorite groups.

I think basing lists on sale and popularity really eliminates the best there is. Most groups do their best work on their first three albums and their first is usually not their big seller. 2,3 and 4 I attended the concerts.
1)The "digitally remastered" Who's Next came with a bonus CD of The Who premiering the album in a club. The best Who live I've ever heard
2) Allman Bros live at the Fillmore East is awesome. At the Saturday late show there was a bomb threat and the Fillmore was evacuated at about midnight. The concert resumed about 1 am and went on to 5:15
3)Humble Pie live at the Fillmore. Peter Frampton lead guitarist extraodinaire before he worried about popularity and sales, his best work and Steve Mariott the most underrated front man in rock.
4)Jethro Tull at Carnegie Hall about 1970, pre Aqualung
5)Isle of Wight Festival 1970, the first and the best. I prefer this to Woodstock
6) Poco, Deliverin, this the one I wore out.
And there was the King Biscuit Flour Hour and the BBC broadcasts, a lot of which were not released but were awesome.
I'm going to see Godfrey Townsend tonight do his Eric Clapton tribute. Google him if not familiar.
I would have regretted missing a lot of this music because it didn't have mass approval

Damn good side man, too- ever hear Bowie's Glass Spiders CD? Bowie called after hearing the CD Frampton had released the previous year and asked if Frampton wanted to play. They knew each other since grade school, too.

Ed will be known as the Tiger Woods of the integration business, followed closely with the renaming of his company to "Hotties A/V". The tag line will be "We like big racks and tight holes"...
Dammit. I haven't thought about the KBFH in decades... You'll love this...
When I was a kid, my dad was an alarm guy. He had this old Moose Siren laying around the garage, I decided it looked enough like a speaker, I screwed that bitch to the wall at the corner of my bed and ran a piece of 2 conductor from the solder joints on this old radio I had...Believe it or not...IT WORKED!
And that's how I'd listen to the King Biscuit Flower Hour. There was also a show from Westwood One back in the day that came on at 11 or 12 at night..The host would talk about the band for 5-10 minutes at the beginning, introduce the album, and they'd just let the entire album roll. So cool.
Some of us were lucky enough to grow up in a magic time of music. I introduced my oldest boy to "The Who" awhile back..I said...These guys are the best band you've ever heard at this point in your life...and when I was a kid, they were the 4th best band..
I'm still a fan, but I used to be a Huge Metallica fan. They did Live Shit: Binge and Purge and also S&M (with the orchestra). Both of those were pretty fun.
Also, Roger Waters The Wall from a couple years ago is awesome, a couple really good demo spots...
