Way overated, his studio albums with Nelson Riddle are far better.
I just love listening to "The tea break" and his interaction with the audience. Tempted to buy the DVD-Audio version that was released in 2003.

I don't own very many, but from what I have The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall 1963 stands out as a bit special.
I have the original and a very lavish Sony heavyweight version. The new Sony release IS much quieter with a bit more bass weight and, if it was the only version you'd heard, it would sound nice too, but in cleaning it all up they have lost the atmosphere of the original.

Neil Young 'Live Rust'. If you only ever get one Neil Young album it has to be this one. Disc 1 is an acoustic set and disc 2 is him in skull-crunching electric mode with Crazy Horse. Awesome

I had that and gave it away. I don't like the way they have mixed it.

Mahler: Symphony No. 8 - Tennstedt / London Philharmonic. It's even better than his studio version, which used to be my favourite.
