i was just thinking, i don't listen to live albums very often, i am looking for albums where the material on the live album is much better than their studio efforts

i was thinking more in terms of something like Grobschnitt's Solar Music Live, it doesnt have to be the same style, it could be anything, just has that really good live vibe
