I'm out.
I don't like "Live" albums.
Heard too many good songs mutilated by being performed live.

A lot of groups depend on the studio to create the sound they want and are unable to replicate those conditions satisfactorily live.

The best live recordings are (a) from artists who made their bones playing live before they hit it big, (b) of songs that the artists wrote and refined while performing live and (c) recorded by sound engineers who really know what they are doing - quite often expert studio engineers are not expert live engineers and vice versa.

I'm out too....
Other than listening to Country music on the radio,
I haven't bought an 'English speaking' CD in years (OK, I did by Kate Bush just last month, but I don't think she counts either).

Ditto. I don't like it when the opening of a song is an announcement to step back from the stage by order of the Fire Marshall!
