No question that the appeal/perception of live albums has changed a lot over the years. Recall reading that Genesis Live (1973) was released over the objections of the band as a stop gap for the lack of new material. Regardless, plenty of bands had the foresight to do some professional recordings. No doubt the members of PF now regret their lack of foresight. Of my top 10 bands, only ELO has a similarly dodgy live catalog.
