I love Cheap Trick, so "At Budokan" is the correct response.  However, jimmyjazz already listed it, so I'll mention two other CT live albums, "Music for Hangovers" and "Silver," both of which are worthy, esp. the former.

I love "How the West Was Won", but Page did go back and overdub some of the guitars to cover some of his mistakes.

That's pretty common in "live" albums, actually.  For example, it's a running joke that Live and Dangerous is part studio album due to all the overdubs.

Maybe the record that had the biggest influence on me as a little kid was The Secret Policeman's Other Ball.  Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, etc.... mostly doing stripped-down versions of their songs.  As a kid, listening to album rock on FM radio, there just wasn't any forum where I heard rock songs presented that way.  It made a huge impression on me.  I think I wore our two or three cassettes before buying it on CD as an adult.

Until this post, I just assumed you dipshits didn’t consider this to be a live album.

 

It so goddamn good. Have long had it digitally but found it on vinyl at an estate sale in my neighborhood a few weeks back for $4. Didn't waste a second picking it up. In retrospect, I should've grabbed the David Allen Coe that was there too for $4 because I didn't recognize it. No telling if it might've been worth something.
