3. Nils Lofgren - Back It Up (Authorized Bootleg)
4. Roy Buchanan - Live Stock

These are a few of my favorites. I hadn't seen them mentioned, and you asked for suggestions to broaden your horizons. I hope you enjoy them.

I'm going to add performances from Budokan.
Cheap Trick and Bob Dylan had great recordings there.

Amazing thing about live albums, is that they are still digging up old shows and releasing them, in pretty good quality. Some that come to mind are from Ten Years After, Soft Machine, The Nice, and even The Move- Live at the Fillmore, where they do the entire 'Shazam' album. I collect bootlegs, and also used to try & tape most of the shows on cassette I attended, so if I did this, I know others did too.

Doggone it - should have been in my generously portioned "5 best" list.

I understand the intimacy and emotion that live performances can evoke.
I've always liked the live stuff - if done well - take Songs in the Attic by Billy Joel, for instance - he very deliberately selected songs that have a different vibe live (as opposed to just his hits, which, like Piano Man, would have been essentially the same live as in the studio). The verion of "Captain Jack" on Songs in the Attic is one of his best, while the studio version is relatively ho hum. This is the opposite of the "intimacy", that you referenced, but the effect is the same - the interaction of artist and audience is largely implied in a studio recording and at its best, live, is palpable.
Also, take the Alice in Chains "Unplugged" album. "Nutshell" is pretty much my favorite AIC song, and I like the live version better than the studio version (and I can play it, a little, on acoustic guitar - I have an old beat up Guild D-35 that comes really close if I tune it down 1/2 step to match the record).
Other examples are live, acoustic versions of "Plush" by STP and "Diamonds and Rust" by Judas Priest, just another emotional layer is reached in those performances because of the removal of the electric guitars and a refocus on the vocals.

Johnny Cash live at Folsom prison (the man in black, not much else needs saying about this one)
Nirvana unplugged (always amazed at how they sounded acoustic)
Allman Brothers at Fillmore east (just sit back and let Duane take you away)
Kiss alive (it's kiss live, how can it not be awesome)
AC/DC if you want blood (nobody can boogie like Angus)
Not top 5 but definitely worth a mention and listen, is Black Sabbath Reunion.
