That's quite a good question, Its got to be live everytime, as that to me is the real truth of the music, I think they go over the top with the twiddly nobs and over produce most albums.

I love some live albums but hate those ones that go "New York, You havin' a good time" or whatever city they are in. I always struggle to get into that type of live album.

An album like Springsteen's Live Box Set is a cracker. No name checking towns just straightforward rock and roll.

I prefer studio albums though as long as they are not so fancy that the songs are unable to be played live.

Oh, that bugs me, too. I've got to say I always have cringed even when Mike would sing "we first met in... San Francisco"
But then, I am just an armchair critic, here, not like I am the rock and roll star trying to get people pumped up that otherwise might not be...

Cream's live albums were FAR better than anything they produced in the studio.

I reckon.
