It doesn't get criticized because they got it right, the perfect balance between a 1969 live recording that's been perfected with studio overdubs.
As a fan, I always prefer the warts and all stuff, but the mass market expects more than that, ie perfection, and that's what that album delivers.
The feel of that tour is captured on that record though, even with the overdubs. That is why it is so celebrated!

As I suspected, GYYO has become regarded as something resembling Holy Writ, despite its questionable authenticity.
Yeah, it's good, but I'll shut up before I'm regarded as a heretic.

The original Who Live at Leeds was undoctored. There were no studio overdubs (such as vocals, or extra guitar). there were only a couple of minor edits.

Well I was referring to Stones live albums. But my point has been made. Overdubs,doctored whatever. The best live album is the one that plays in your head on any given day.
AFAIK "Absolutely Live" by the Doors mixes bits and pieces not only of different shows but also of different song performances. I'd surely call this docotored ;-)Quote

A couple claim to be - Both named "Absolutely Live" - one by The Doors, one by Rod Stewart.
