100% DIS-agree!
Live performance is just that... it's a performance. An ephemeral event.
A studio recording is "A WORK OF ART". It's a different thing entirely, and is to be admired in a totally different way. Would you ever demand a real-time "performance" from a painter? Would you ask him/her to make a painting in front of an audience, and then hold that painting up to scrutiny for years to come? No, that's not how we judge and admire paintings, photos, or sculptures.
A studio album is a non-realtime creation, and is a completely different thing than a live performance. Bear in mind that I'm NOT dumping on live recordings. I love live Studio recordings. I typically do not like recordings in front of an audience however, as most don't sound very good.
