Art Rock Live Albums
Art rock fits between pop rock and progressive rock.
The music has a cleverness about it – humour, complexity, different styles, rhythms or instruments – but it’s also commercial enough to be radio friendly and therefore its bands benefit from hit singles. In some ways it is a natural development of the work The Beatles were recording in their psychedelic phase with songs like Strawberry Fields Forever and I Am A Walrus.
Leading art rock bands include Roxy Music (before they went soft), David Bowie, Kate Bush, early Queen and the Electric Light Orchestra.
As Genesis moved from being a prog rock band to a pop rock band, there was a time around A Trick Of the Tail when they were art rock. Peter Gabriel has been in the category since he went solo.

The advantage of live albums in the art rock category is that performing live stops the groups from trying to be too clever and too technical.

10cc Live is a live album by 10cc. Like Live And Let Live, this is the 10cc with Godley & Creme.
This appears to be a cut-down, single disc version of 10cc Alive In Japan.
Live At The Old Waldorf is a live album by Television recorded at the Old Waldorf, San Francisco on 29th June 1978.
It has been difficult to get because it’s twice been issued as a limited edition release but I bought the mp3 version from Amazon.
A Reality Tour is a live album by David Bowie recorded from his performances in Dublin on the 22 and 23 November 2003.
10cc In Concert is the UK version of the King Biscuit Flower Hour recording of all the original members of 10cc performing live from the Original Soundtrack tour in November 1975 in Santa Monica.
Strangely, the performance didn’t include any of the tracks from thealbum they were recording.
At least this is the proper 10cc, unlike Live and Let Live and 10cc Live.

Glass Spider Live is a live album by David Bowie recorded from performances on 7th and 9th November 1987 performances in Sydney, Australia.
This is recording when Bowie’s star was waning after his extraordinary success in the 70s when his innovations were so popular.
Concerto is a live album by Roxy Music recorded in 1979 and released in 2001. It has also been released as Ladytron in 2002 and Concert Classics in 1998.
Confused?
This is Roxy Music after they’ve reunited and recorded the Manifesto studio album so it’s a much smoother, perhaps less interesting group.
This album has been released under license and Briyan Ferry and the other members of Roxy Music have had nothing to do with the release.

Live And Let Live is a live album by 10cc in 1977 after Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme had left the group. It was recorded in London and Manchester in the UK on the Deceptive Bends tour.
The Blow Up is a live album recorded by Television in 1978 with songs from Marquee Moon and Adventure.
Live Killers is the first live album by Queen, recorded and released in 1979 from concerts promoting the Jazz studio album.
Long terms fans have been wanting a live queen album from the mid -seventies on their tours to promote A Night At The Opera or A Day At The Races. Nothing has yet appeared, making Live Killers the best souvenir of Queen as a live rock band before they went soft.
Live Nassau Coliseum ’76 is a live concert recording of David Bowie performing in 1976 issued as a bonus to Station To Station Special Edition.
This is a legal version of one of the most famous and best David Bowie bootleg live albums.
It was recorded live at the Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, New York on 23 March 1976. Chronologically, it fits neatly between David Live from 1974 and Stage in 1978.
It also acts as a transition of Bowie moving into from his plastic soul days to the Brian Eno inspired Berlin based albums.
