Live Art Rock Albums Recorded In The 1990s
Art Rock is clever music where the musicians are trying to do something different by combining various art forms and musical styles. It’s not prog rock but it may be close, it’s not normally a big commercial success although some artists like David Bowie and Peter Gabriel are the exceptions.
Wikipedia says “Art rock was a form of music which wanted to “extend the limits of rock & roll”, and opted for a more experimental and conceptual outlook on music. Art rock took influences from several genres, notably classical music, as well as experimental rock, psychedelia, avant garde, folk, baroque pop, and, in later compositions, jazz.” I’d add in the influences of world music as well.

Greatest Hits Live is a live album by the Electric Light Orchestra Part 2.
It was recorded in Birmingham and has The Moscow Symphony Orchestra playing with ELO Part 2.
This version of ELO doesn’t involve the main singer and songwriter, Jeff Lynne but was formed by ELO founder member Bev Bevan when Lynne didn’t want to record another album or tour. Lynne and Bevan were the owners of the Electric Light Orchestra brand name and they compromised that the new band could be called the Electric Light Orchestra Part 2.
The album seems to have been condensed in the USA to a 10 song version.

Live At The Academy NYC 12.4.92 is a live album by Television after they reformed to record their third studio album, called Television.
Their 1977 classic, Marquee Moon is one of my favourite studio albums as they created a new wave / art rock sound unlike anyone who had come before and were style extremely, hip with their guitar solos.
