I thought it meant bands who actually made an effort to record a live album when they were active, not the record company just digging up old tapes, which is what happens an awful lot nowadays, and is what those Beatles albums represent. They were releasing live Doors concert albums 20 years after Jim Morrison was dead!
Guns ‘n Roses would also I think have made a truly kick ass live album when they were the original line up and were at their peak, but they never did.
There must be quite a lot of material, by bands that did not release a live album, which deserves to see the light of day. It's probably just sitting in cans somewhere. With all the remixes, remasters, alternate takes, run throughs, etc, I wish the record companies would go back through the official live recordings.
I agree with you, I took the OP as whether a band recorded an actual concert performance the Beatles collection of live material thrown together and released doesn't count, at least to me.
