Springsteen's stuff jumps right to mind. Some of the jam band stuff from Phish and DMB is a lot of fun.

Maybe it's because I'm a musician too, but I really don't have as much respect for an artist until I've heard them live, because only then do I know they are as good as they sound on their albums.

Take care all.
Listening to a band in person and on a live album is totally different. Concerts almost never sound bad.
