What exactly do you mean by a "live album"? Many so-called "live" albums have extensive studio over-dubs. OTOH, over the last 15-20 years, there have been increasing numbers of concert recordings released, often available primarily or exclusively by download, in digital formats from 128k mp3 to 24/192 PCM, MQA and DSD. These typically have minimal mastering and editing, and no over-dubs. Are you including this type of recording in your question? Are you excluding "live albums" that aren't, really?

Personally, i´m not talking about the source or record quality.
I mentioned those in which live performance clearly exceeds studio versions and make me "sweat" when i listen to them. Most of them are from my youth, while Wim Mertens and Garcia Fons are from latest times, the age of pure audiophile passion... :audiophile:
