The other main example I can think of re: a good band who are shaky live is The Doors, mostly due to Morrison's shitty singing (on the studio albums he's fine but live performances show what a limited singer he was and yeah he was often too ####ed up to deliver a good performance) but Manzarek also sang certain songs live and was even worse and also took the organ solos too far. And they'd do long dull improvised pieces or whip out countless versions of "Celebration of the Lizard" (the others talked Jim out of including it on an album but guess they couldn't talk him out of constantly playing it live).
