I have zero interest in alternate takes or live versions of songs.
On that same note: I hate it when I'm listening to a greatest hits album and the band is like, "Hey, this live version is obviously better than the studio one" and I'm like nope, not even close.

LV is right. There are two Cheap Trick songs and I pick the wrong one.
In that case: yes, the live version is acceptable. Probably because I've heard it more than the studio.
And example of each: Neil Diamond's greatest hits has a few live songs but because I've only ever listened to the GH album I don't have anything to compare it to. On the flipside, Don Henley's GH album has live versions of Mandolin Rain and The Way It Is and neither of those sound good live.

I love live albums, and depending on the artist am happy to have them in copious quantities. For many of my favorite artists, the studio albums alone just don't tell the whole story.

For me, live music is about being in the room. A ton is lost on me when listening to live music that isn't being played live in front of me. Obviously, there are exceptions. I grew up listening to the Eagles. And love 'em or hate 'em the Eagles Live album will always be my favorite Eagles record. So, there are exceptions. But in general...
