i like live albums that feature new material and/or do something different than merely rehash studio recordings. from this perspective, good live albums would be jackson browne’s "running on empty", joe jackson’s "big world" and the oft-mentioned fillmore east and band of gypsies. also lou reed’s "rock and roll animal", which completely redoes (and outguns) his studio takes. for whatever reason, i’ve never liked alot of the mtv unplugged stuff (i thought nirvana’s was overrated and clapton’s and dylan’s were pretty awful), but that’s just me.
