Yes.

I would say live is better, because it can have those extended songs (not like the Allman Brothers) and covers. When I saw The White Stripes, Jack went into a slide solo out of nowhere and it was great. But if the band sucks live then studio is better. I guess that is just common logic.

I have been to some concerts, i couldnt stand the noise, i literaly had to cover my ears the whole time, too loud for me.

I have OCD and i have claustophobic tendencies, so i also have a problem with large groups of people.

I'd have to say that it totally depends on the band - Although, in general, I enjoy listening to artists live more than I do a CD… I think it allows you to appreciate the creation of the music more when you see it performed in front of you.

I don't necessarily subscribe to the idea that certain genres sound better in the studio - due to lack of being able to reproduce studio "wizardry", tricks, or whatever. I've seen lots of so-called "studio bands" (Radiohead, Gradaddy, Pink Floyd, Yes, etc.) who put on fantastic live shows, and sound just as good live (if not better) than on CD. If the band sucks live, then to me that just says that all that "studio wizardry" I heard on their CD was nothing more than a producer's cover-up for a mediocre band or artist.

studio is good. but when a band is simply amazing live, there's nothing like that. Some bands, like black sabbath, actually sound BETTER live in my opinion. which is really weird. Especially when you hear a solo and you're like "there's no way your fingers would fall off" then you see it happen. also the studio sometimes gives the illusion of this thing called "talent". if you can't pla it live, then don't play it. i've seen this too often.

and remember y'all - the artists get PAID for playing live. CD sales pay the lawyers and the Execs - not the artists!!!!!

Studio recordings for sure for most music. The exception being artists like Kurt Cobain who's music was so much based on raw emotion. For artists like that, I find the live experience is often better.

Live is the shizzle, it's louder, hotter and it's just damn wicked.
