My list is:

Grateful Dead

Led Zeppelin

Jimi Hendrix (including The Experience, obviously)

Pink Floyd (pity they haven't release very much live material)

Eric Clapton

Cream

Derek and the Dominos

Country Joe and the Fish

The Band

Albert King

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Canned Heat

The Doors

Jeff Beck

The Kinks

Lynyrd Skynyrd

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

Queen

Santana

The Who

The Yardbirds

Those are the bands I find are WAY better live (I usually don't even bother with their studio crap, especially with Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin).

Muse always gives a damn good performance
Beyoncé always tries hard on her shows, as well.

Also, Amy Winehouse always sounds unique in every single one of her performances.

For being a band that's so electronic, Nine Inch Nails put on one of the best shows out there. And Beside You in Time is just complete sensory overload. The lighting and stage set up is a amazing. But that doesn't even touch on how great they sound.

As for Muse, I don't think it's possible for them to sound any worse than they do on their albums. :P

Hmm, I'm starting to think I should have got the Blu-ray version instead of the ordinary DVD.

Most metalcore/hardcore bands. Hatebreed is a totally different band on stage, for example. I find them somewhat boring on cd, but live they're great.

I love online shopping. Really, if Amazon were a person, I'd marry it. :P And I'm working on getting all of Trent's albums before his DVD's. I just got myself a copy of The Downward Spiral, actually.

Like as in, you'd rather listen to a live recording than a studio album.

I'd rather listen to both if I like the band....and not live or studio if I don't.:?

I guess i am the oddball in this thread, because i don't think anyone is better live than in the studio. I just prefer the sound of music that is produced and perfected, and not the live sound that is usually hollow.

I want all of them, but I'm not really that willing to pay for all the singles and remix albums. Though I'll probably do it because I'm a collector.

Those are my lowest priority. Right now, I just want to get a physical copy of all of his actual albums. Then I want anything live. And then all the remixes. :P

Why not? Nine Inch Nails did just that and then some when I saw them.

95% of metal bands are as good live as on studio albums. really, pretty much if a band is good and not overproduced or crap, theyll be as good live. bands that really stand out live - Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Kreator, Motorhead, to name a few.

No...you enjoyed the music live better. But the studio versions should not be lacking unless they have crap producers.

Hmm, if it's so rare then why is it only $10? :? No idea why it was going for 75 pounds when I saw it. I can't find the page to show you as well :?

Obviously.

The studio versions weren't lacking. But changes are made to a song when it's played live. In the case of Nine Inch Nails, all of the songs sounded more energetic and full. And overall, better than their studio counterparts.

I'm going to take that as the production is lacking.....>__>

To be honest I don't prefer any band live maybe besides bad music so I can get on stage and kill them
