I only listen to live albums because of fags like you

For the most part I agree, but some bands are simply better live. Some bands will add on certain sections, or simply have a more raw live performance that lends itself better to the songs
It really just depends on the artist, though
>>59601824
I agree, and I disagree with the people who disagree
Maybe you should listen to bands/artists who can actually play live and don't just slog through playing exactly the same thing that's on the album.

Shitty audio quality? Some bands just sound better live than in the studio. It has nothing to do with pretending youre in the audience.
wow I can't believe I have to spell this out for you. Some bands are severely limited by the sound that can be created in the studio, and often times studio versions fail to capture the passion of a performance. This is not true for every artist but there are artists that you almost always want to listen to live versions such as The Grateful Dead, My Morning Jacket, Lou Reed, Talking Heads, Traffic, etc... I hate that I took the bait here but figured I would respond just in case you really are that thick

Just interesting to see how the song translates to a live setting, or how the artist performs live. It can be totally different.

>Some bands will add on certain sections
This is especially true for eDM
>not listening to live Sunn and Swans
>band can emphasize different aspect of song live
>band can expand the song and make it longer live
>band can change the tone and composition completely live, making it basically an entirely different song
>also, some bands have a lot of material they only play live that never makes it onto the albums, this makes the live albums interesting as they contain all new material for the listener

Is this why Remain in Light is the only Talking Heads studio album I can get into?
>>59601824
Some bands have really good live albums, it all depends. Built to Spill's live album is really good, so is deerhunter's. Those are the first two that come to mind for me
>mfw recorded live tracks are overdubbed in studio
>>59602100
I would think this is because that album is on a /mu/core chart while the others aren't.
Post tracks that are better live.

Their other stuff is just too thin and not as consistent. You know the popular choice can also be the right one sometimes, right?
>>59602127
well live shows usually show a different version of the song. if recording quality is good its like a new song in a way, just interesting to hear
but then this wont happen with bands like acdc or whatever that just play their hits with no alteration. altho it can be interesting to watch
