If The Beatles had broken up in 1966, Paul McCartney's debut solo album probably would have sounded a bit like "The Story Of Simon Simopath".

I think it would've sounded exactly like the songs he wrote for the White Album.

The pic is from 1989. Nirvana, at the time, consisted of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Jason Everman and Chad Channing. Maybe not a very "representative" pic, but I didn't pay enough attention when picking it.

― scaruffi kaleidoscope (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 15:13 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm aware of geir's general feelings about live recordings. i asked the question because he broadens the exclusion here (and elsewhere) to "new versions of pre-existing material." which raises the question: does performance matter at all? does a great vocal performance matter? does great playing matter? or is the first recording, preferably by the composer, automatically better than all other recordings. period? i'm not looking for a titanic-channeling, ilx-sinking, world-ending thread. just a simple answer. really!
