Live bleeps
Talking of fictional electronic superstars, it occurs to me that three of the best live albums ever are by electronic bands which, by their nature, aren't supposed to be able to cut it live, while the majority of rock bands singularly fail to rock in the flesh.
Those albums in full:
Guitar bands could learn a lot from this: live albums are interesting because of the interaction with the fans. look at Dylan's 'Albert Hall' bootleg. No one gives a fcuk about your guitar solos, they want to hear the crowd - even for the heckles and slow handclaps. What the three albums above all manage is to recreate the rush of clubbing by recording the crowd going nuts. It's all you need

Status Quo's live album is good. Honestly.
And nothing beats the beginning of AC/DC's Live At Donnington DVD. Hairs, back of neck, standing up.
I know what you mean, but the thing about those electronic albums is that they mix the crowd in more often so it feels more like a live experience. Mind you Under A Blood Red Sky does that too, but if I mentioned that I wouldn't have a point.
