I just want/have to say I'm so relieved to have found a place where people actually take a minute to think about music. It's so nice to read thoughtful opinions..
Loser moment over.
All I have to add is this:
The live show is always the most special for me. I like feeling at one with the band and the crowd. At that moment, we are all on the same page sharing the same passion. And it's real. Vocals and what-not have not been "dressed up."
But looking at recordings, both live and studio, I typically prefer the studio. Maybe it's a bad thing that I'm more inclined to listen to a song that flows a bit more smoothly? However, there are a few select songs that carry ten times the power when recorded live. Sometimes hearing how utterly raw a song is makes it that much better.
I realize I'm not really posing anything new- just wanted to throw that tidbit in there.
