live music vs recorded music (electronic, punk, rock, albums)

I hate when bands are better live than in the studio. If not only for the reason that you can never hear that sound again, then everytime you try and get someone into the band, they dont get hooked in as much as you did.
But meh. Theres nothing like a live show. You can play your perfectly recorded music as loud as you like, but it doesnt compare to live music.
Ill go for live. If they really do suck live, then thats not exactly the sign of a brilliant band..

Generally recorded. But that depends on whether a band is good live. Iron Maiden live is sensational, so live versions are great. The live version of Fear of the Dark made it on to their compilation (Best of the Beast), not the studio version. That tells you something.
