Live album

A live album is a musical recording containing recorded concert performances.

Most successful recording artists generally release at least one live album at some point during their career. Some live albums are seen as expendable parts of an artists’ catalogue, often failing to sell as well as studio albums. However, a few artists are known for live albums that are considered as good, if not that, better, than some of their studio albums, including KISS, James Brown, The Allman Brothers Band, MC5, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Peter Frampton, The Grateful Dead and The Who.
