"Recently" becomes a little more spread out the older you get, but I'll say, I just got into Oasis probably 4 or 5 years ago after stumbling across this Live at Manchester show from 2005. I really didn't like Oasis when they were peaking in the '90's. It just wasn't the type of music I was into...or maybe it was, but I didn't realize it. Anyway....it's a really epic show and I think just seeing how into it the crowd is, is one of the things that won me over.

A couple other bands like that for me would be Nirvana and Metallica. I didn't hate either back when I was in high school or whatever, but I was more of a Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiciton, Alice in Chains kid, and Nirvana and Metallica just never really spoke to me, but I can really appreciate them a lot more now...particularly Nirvana, but some of that earlier Metallica stuff too.

I'll die on the hill that "Don't Look Back In Anger" is a good song

Live music is always hit or miss from me, but NPR's Tiny Desk has had some of the best live music I've heard and has turned me on to artist I thought I'd never listen to.

I don't think Live music is any more "hit or miss" than studio recordings are, in fact I'd argue live music does a much better job of capturing the essence and energy of a song/band than the studio ever really does, but I guess some live recordings can leave a little to be desired sonically. I just don't think you can truly appreciate a band or musician without knowing what their live performances are like, and I think most good bands are better live.
