The nearest I have come with my CD is "A Black and White Night Live" by
Roy Orbison (his backing band is Springsteen, Costello, etc.) or the
Cowboy Junkies first album. Oh and anything by the Persuasions - just
acapella voices. They were championed by Zappa as it happens, I think
Absolute Sounds in the UK used the Persuasions to show off gear at HiFi
shows.

My most recent comparison was listening to a live Tommy Emmanual CD
(Australian fingerstyle guitarist) after being to a few of his
concerts. It's very different although it's just him and a guitar. It's
where all the stereos I've listened to are lacking, that creation of the
atmosphere and ambience of a concert hall - it's that effect that lets
you know that you're in big room from the echoes and reverberation.
That's the bit I'd love to recreate. I thoroughly recommend his later
CDs (the older ones are a bit muzak for my liking), very melodic and
stunning playing. I've tried to play some of his stuff and failed
miserably.
