I think there would be a lot more negative reviews for live albums if that were the case (not that I'm saying I wouldn't like to see more of it)
A case in point of how we've been conditioned to live albums sounding, for me anyway, was the stereophonics live from dakota which didn't have any additional mixing bar the soundboard there and then and to be honest I thought it sounded very poor overall.
As I say it's something we've been conditioned to and most artists really want a live album to sound near perfect so that it'll attract listeners to come and see them on the next tour.
