I'm going to hop onto the your-wrong-here bandwagon ;-)
I'm a big Dave Matthews Band fan. Their album stuff is okay, but their real magic lies in their concerts. They do so much more stuff live - they just take the music to the next level. At every concert they take atleast one or two songs, twist them around, and end up making a 10-minute jam.
It is because of this ability that an entire bootleg community has grown up around DMB. For example, you can download just about any DMB concert from the early 1990's at antsmarching.org. When I introduce people to DMB, I send them extended jam versions of songs from concerts I've been to. Granted, since these are bootlegs, the quality is not top-notch, but all that can be disguised with enough equalizers and DSP plugins ;-) That and they have released several live CDs like Red Rocks and Central Park where the recording is straight off the venue's mixing board (and so, sounds studio-quality).
By the way, the band allows bootleg audio recording at concerts and actually encourages it - thats how they grew from a band origionally popular only with the college demographic.
Long story short - some bands sound
better live than they do on studio releases.
