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.
