I love live music, and I love studio recorded albums. What I do not like is the concert album. Live music is not just the music, it's the whole experience of being there, in the same room with one of your favorite artists (or even a not-so-favorite!), interacting with the crowd, and so forth. All that a concert album catches is the audio portion of this, which is usually riddled with mistakes, voice flubs and so forth. None of which matter when you're THERE; but when you get home and listen to the recording of the concert, over and over and over, they are really wearing.

JMHO!
