Live albums are pointless, and lose all the energy of an actual concert. If I want to hear live, I'll listen to actual live music. If not, studio albums give way better production and recording quality than any live album ever could.
What an amazing generalisation and quite frankly wrong IMO. I'll give you 3 examples.
(1) Adele - Live At The Royal Albert Hall
I own both 19 & 21 and never listen to them anymore. They both pale in comparison to the live recording.
(2) Joe Bonamassa - any of his live albums, but in particilar Live From Nowhere In Particular and An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House. Both are stunning and manage to capture energy and atmosphere.
(3) Beth Hart - Live At Paradiso. You'd need to be dead not to feel the energy from this performance. This particular album eclipses anything she's ever produced in the studio IMO.
Lastly - why bother making the statement in this thread? Are you trolling for a reaction? If you don't like live albums that's ok - but why even make that comment in an appreciation thread?
