However, Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'One More From The Road', Thin Lizzy's 'Live & Dangerous and Free 'Live', piss all over that album from great height.

Just as well we all like different music and have contrasting tastes though, as liking the same dozen bands would be boring, eh?
The Ramones aren't even in my top 10, but that Rainbow concert was something else, the energy and aesthetics were off the charts, and don't forget music had become quite stale by this point. That's why '76 onwards was so exciting, no 10 minute guitar solos or tired blues/prog rock, etc.
