Live performance or studio recording?
If you're going to listen to a band or artist, would you:
Prefer to listen to a live recording of them at a gig? (let's say the recording is good quality though) OR prefer to listen to their studio recordings? I'm curious, because I seem to take the opposite view to most others I've asked. 9/10 times I'd much rather listen to a studio recording than a live gig recording. I've always presumed this was the way most people thought but it's becoming increasingly apparent that it's not!

I think I'd have to go with studio recordings. I'm in love with the recording studio. Live stuff has its merits but I rarely get too excited over them.
I agree with what Janszoon, though. I'd find stuff like jazz done live much more appealing than, say, most rock artists. Maybe to the point where I'd treat the two equally. |

Well, besides the jazz, I prefer the blues live performances than the studio recordings. But, anyway, when I'm interested in an artist and I don't know his songs I go for the studio stuff to see what it's about. And if I know some of the songs and I'm starting to like the artist I'm more interested in his live shows, because it's very important to see if this artist is a good showman or just a music-man

As others have said, it really depends on the kind of music.
You definitely want to hear primarily acoustic music live, but a recording of that live performance also has a bit of that sound that tends to get lost in studio recordings. Most types of primarily electronic music is excellent live as well, but horribly represented in a live recording. In general, anything with heavily distorted guitars is usually more coherent in a studio recording. I also prefer more production-specific and nuanced music in a studio recording.

Yea.. It definitely has a lot to do with the type of music.
