With several bands, I prefer live albums to studio albums. I include live DVDs by the bands. 
 What bands do you prefer or collect more live albums than studio albums?  

Mine:

King Crimson
SBB
Grobschnitt
Bill Bruford
Miles Davis
Magma
Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree
Marillion 
Barclay James Harvest

For me, that would be Roger Waters with the Mother of all touring bands, featuring an all-star line-up of Snowy White, Andy Fairweather Low, Jonathan Wilson, Mel Collins, Dave Kilminster, Michael Kamen and backing singers Katie Kissoon, Madeline Bell, P.P. Arnold and Kamala Harris (or at least someone who looks like her). Smile

None really*

But I do collect - well, actually "collect" is a bit of a stretch... I own quite a few live albums by:

Miles Davis
Magma
Can
Tangerine Dream

+loads of live jazz albums from the 1960's-1970's. *and within the jazz realm I might actually prefer a few performers like Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans, Herbie Mann, Yusef Lateef... live. Ideally I'd like as much original material as possible on my live albums. Which is quite common in jazz - and uncommon in rock.

I only have the live albums by Polish post-rock band Ciśnienie but that's because all the albums they released they put out as lives.

I have more lives by Magma than any other band.  Quite a few Tangerine Dream and Miles Davis live albums too.

Goblin, Goblin Rebirth and Claudio Simonetti's Goblin have released numerous live albums, like the excellent Austinato Blu-ray/CD (Goblin) and Alive (Goblin Rebirth).

Zombi have yet to release an official live document, though there are some live bonus tracks on the upcoming 20th anniversary 2CD remix-reissue of their debut, Cosmos.

None at all as for me, the Live albums are never a substitute for studios...

Live albums need to prove to be the whole greater than the sum of the parts, raising the music to a whole new level, to justify a place in my collection, such as Camel: Live Record, GG: Playing The Fool or Tull: Bursting Out

I'd put ELP's Pictures at an Exhibition in that group...

I was going to say the same. Zappa live is awesome. Every concert was so different, particularly from line-up to line-up. I love hearing different interpretations of his music with each new group of players, new technology, and newer genres for them to parody. Plus, the improvised bits, both musical and comedic, keep each concert fresh. Especially any audience participation.

When you put it like that, it's quite frightening.... I only own these six, plus Coventry Cathedral (1975) and Deutschlandhalle (1973) at present, but will also get the Zeit 2CD set in due course.

It's a great album of course, but I own it because it's original material... 'Welcome Back' would be another fine example of where a band takes their studio material to another level artistically, and therefore is a collection essential.

I don't particularly focus on live albums, but like to hear how the bands, all bands I like, play their music live. However, How many versions of Aqualung, Roundabout, 21st Century Schizoid Man,  Supper's Ready, etc. do I really need?

King Crimson
Grobschnitt
Soft Machine (clear winner)




to a certain extent (but I'm far from having most of the studio albums):
Magma
Can


.... and
Tangerine Dream (via the Hades Boxset)

EDIT:  I should indulge more on Tangerine's Schmoelling era live albums (studio albums are boring, past Tangram)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
