The perfect live recording is a difficult feat. Outside of the carefully controlled setting of a studio where countless takes are possible, live recordings require raw musical talent, the ability to get things right the first time, avoidance of technical difficulties and perfect synergy between each band member. Beyond that, to truly capture a multi-faceted concert experience for someone who will listen years later from the comfort of their own home is difficult at best.

Some artists have risen to that challenge, managing to convey all the energy and emotion of a live performance in recorded form. The presence of a vocal audience adds a special dimension it itself, making every live album a collaboration between artists and the fans that share their concerts. Here are ten exceptional live albums that have released since the year 2010.

1. Aaron Shust: Love Made a Way

Shust performs a collage of his past hits, as well as covers of church congregation favorites, in this live recording that sounds more like a full-blown worship service.

2. Daniel Bashta: My Resurrection

Every song on this live EP feels like a stripped-down worship service around a campfire, but with strings and piano.

Anberlin's live performance on their farewell tour takes the original recordings to heightened levels with the addition of various musical elements not present in the studio.
