But can they sing live?
i love live albums. period. there is nothing better than being able to listen to an artist recreate their magic live on stage without the assistance of all kinds of studio gadgets. since i haven't had the chance to see all my favorite artists in concert, i rely on live albums to give me that experience. some artist are better at creating that experience than others. i also think being able to sing live and sound like your album separates true artist/performers from today's music industry gimmicks. so when i feel like imagining that i am sitting front row center at a concert, these are the albums i listen to (they are listed at random). if you know of more that i might be interested in, by all means, please let me know.
***note: while i definitely enjoyed alicia keys' stage performance a few years back on the verizon ladies first tour, i was not all that impressed with her unplugged album. i didn't include floetry because some of their songs that i like weren't on their floacism album. i wish whitney houston had recorded a live album before she ruined her voice with drugs. and i would've added queen's live at wembley album, but i've only seen portions of the concert (which is awesome, by the way) and do not own the cd.

Maxwell and Mary J are also goodies.

I'm not really into live LPs, but I would recommend The Jacksons and EWF's Gratititude.
