live tracks are good when both the band and recording equipment/production don't suck.

see: porcupine tree. dream theater. ect. generally steven wilson and and mike portnoy, respectively, oversaw the production of those bands' live DVD's and CD's.

in general, there is a ton of great live rock in the prog and 'psychedelic' categories going all the way back to the 60's. mainstream rock has always been decidedly less good (hello normalization fuck off and die kthx) and metal is just hard to record.
 
I love live tracks since I got a set of kick ass earphones(etymotic ER4) that has a nice soundstage and impeccable spatial imaging. The audience doesn't sound distracting from the music anymore as it sounds distinctly separate from it and not meshed in. Also live tracks are usually of a higher quality recording.

Don't get me wrong, there are lots of live tracks that are interesting or fun or fine in general...but I don't want them on a general purpose radio station. They're not the same as studio tracks.

What gets doubly annoying is the they seem to count as a different song. You can hear the live and studio version of the same song pretty close together.
