It's a personal history thing. I essentially stopped listening to popular music from about 1991 onwards (with a few exceptions). Almost all my music purchases were classical.
The rise of mp3 changed that. I don't have my good hifi here in Canada and I listen to a lot of music on my computer.
Fuggin-a, I did the exact same thing, also starting in '91.
Oh, and Frampton Comes Alive!

My thoughts, even if I haven't listened to that many live albums.
Pearl Jam's Live on Two Legs is actually not that much of a live album, being so neat and polished that once in a while you'd think it was a studio recording. Still it served as a great introduction to the post-Ten material so I have to include it.
Excluding the one I attended, they also released 'official bootlegs' from every concert on their 2000 tour which was a great idea. I believe the cover art is very similar to that of Live at Leeds which probably is to be taken as a tribute (PJ have on many occasions played a decent cover of Baba O'Reilly).
Rammstein's Live aus Berlin and Springsteen's 75-85 live recordings had some gems on them as well.
Nirvana's unplugged deserves some more mention as well, but curiously the covers done by Cobain here lead me to the Meat Puppets live CD which among other worthwhile things included a superior edition of Plateau (or was it Lake of Fire, or both? It's been a while).
I bought a Jeff Buckley live CD once. Presumably it was a great concert to attend, but sound quality was so poor on many songs it was not much use to listen to. I do understand there is other material out there, but I'd have to hear it before I buy it.

Damn. Someone mentioned Frampton. I'm going to have to control my inner rage now.
I always figured he was a one hit wonder. If I want to hear that song, I can turn on any classic rock station. I hear that song all the time.

Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong
Though personally, the Polyphonic Spree live at Reading (2003) would be the highlight, if it existed. Mesmerizing.Smile
For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next
But he would think of something

Still, couldn't they at least have included a single OK Computer hit along with some The Bends stuff?
Those were great albums and the reasons why I always wanted to see Radiohead live. Right now I'm not so sure...

ACK!Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!
