I still enjoy a well done live album. I want as little overdubbing and edits as possible and no backing tracks, though I don't mind triggered tracks. It is getting tough to come by.

But that was quite a while ago and yet, as we are about to entire the second decade of the 21st century, some acts are still putting out live albums

Did you get the Fillmore West set that came out about a month ago?

That was a waste of a read. Not really all that thought through and more of a meandering rant.

Anyways, I fall on the side of greatest hits being pointless releases now since everything is basically at your fingertips and you no longer, as a consumer, need to hedge your bets and wallet on an artist before you dive in.

Live albums are great because they at least offer a compelling recreation of songs from artists you care about, and when they are really good, transport you to another place, if not for a couple of hours.

Whoever wrote that article has never listened to Live After Death by Iron Maiden.

Many are pointless, some are worthy additions to an artists discography. Live Neil and Bob are the best.
