I totally agree. I had the same experience with Radiohead... wondering how it was possible, but somehow it was and they were great.
If a record is good and I like it, then I listen to it. If I then go to see their live show and it sucks, I simply don't pay the money to see them live again.
Then again, some bands, of whom I don't necessarily like their music or record, put on great live shows and that is just that. They're a great live band.
My theory on the subject is to take each experience separately. If a band's album AND live show is extraordinary then they win major points in my book.
