Live albums

Fucking rebuttal of the century right here!

...

literally everything by death grips is better live because they add live drums

lou reed take no prisoners is GOAT

Depends upon the band. A lot of progressive rock bands are better live, and of course anything remotely punk.

Kansas in particular are a million times better live. Their best albums have the worst fucking sound engineering. It's like mellow soft rock on the album, hard rock live. No joke.

This is way, way better than anything else Sam Cooke ever did.

Fahey's - The Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick, Fela Ransome-Kuti and The Africa '70 With Ginger Baker - Live!, Rosa Yemen - s/t, Taj Mahal Travellers, and Taku Sugimoto & Moe Kamura] - Live in Saritote are really good as well.
But also a lot of jazz, noise, and free improvisation related music is often better/more interesting live.

Just off the top of my head
Nirvana- Unplugged in New York (best of there albums)
Daft Punk- Alive 97 and 07
There's a good Bowie one
Talking Heads- Stop making Sense
Radiohead has plenty of good live stuff
The live show on the Violent Femmes S/T on the anniversery edition is amazing

imo live albums are terrible and you should be hanged if you enjoy them

this is the most fucked up, myopic view i've ever heard

if you care enough about instrumentation and technique to really have your experience dramatically changed by only hearing the best takes, then you should also appreciate hearing them try something different live, or fuck up a solo live, or have their voice fucked from touring but still trying to sing, or the band becoming tighter after playing the same set over and over, or appreciate the live energy
