I won't quote what folks don't like so Mr. Bonamassa only:

At the other end of the scale there's Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series Volume 4. This was recorded in 1966 on Dylan's first electric UK tour. The first disc is acoustic, and the audience are quite happy, but Bob brings his electric backing band on for the second half of the show, and things start to go a bit wrong.
The audience felt that he was betraying his Folk roots and become increasingly disapproving and vocal. Brilliant music, and a defining moment in Dylan's career.

If you like Elton try his 'Live in Australia' CD - a masterpiece.
