This is the era of the "album live." That's very different than the "live album," which is just a recording of a live performance.

The Wild, the Innocent and the Springsteen Album Concerts

On tour this fall, Bruce Springsteen has been playing complete albums from his back catalog: for his shows last month bidding farewell to Giants Stadium, for example, he did "Born to Run," "Darkness on the Edge of Town" and "Born in the U.S.A." But that's not all.

Review: Steely Dan's sound was studio-tight and lush in re-creation of 'Aja' at San Jose Civic

I remember the day, in 1977, grabbing the new Steely Dan from the album racks at a lower Manhattan record store: "Aja." Score! My friends and I - we already had heard the sounds on the radio, lush and warm and perfect, like beauty set in amber, but surprising, too, rising up in waves, like jazz.

Steely Dan jazzed about tour

Steely Dan architects Donald Fagen and Walter Becker may be enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they are so washed in the blood of jazz that they can't stop spewing mind-bending ideas even when they put aside their instruments.
