Two almost mainstream and very simple examples right off the top of my 
head:
David Gilmore did something at a well known concert. I think he froze
guitar chords as "pads" and played over them. Brian Mays solo versus a
tape delay is also famous, to be found on an old live recording (I
think it's that old We-Will-Rock-You thing).

I'd like to remind you of an aspect that wasn't mentioned in your
post, the two complementary fundamental ways of using live looping: as
instrument and as loop recorder. These two options can be presented
early in the article to help the reader to a wider perspective and
better understanding of what is presented in the text. I just learned
from doing two public live looping clinics this month how much that
can help a newcomer.
