Some call it the greatest live album ever and it’s hard to argue. Released on July 6, 1971, it’s #49 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

In 2004, the album was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress, deemed to be “culturally, historically, or aesthetically important” by the National Recording Registry.
