Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music?


I would direct you to Steve Guttenberg’s most recent YouTube video. It is a question that I’ve often asked myself. Any thoughts?

When I played "Jazz Wolf" CD, even on a very low-end mini system, my dog would Always join all those other wolfies "out there"! It was fun!!
Better hearing or not, personal involvement must have played a role. Music or sounds coming from TV never fooled him

I was fooled by my stereo more than once: when listening to Roger Water's "Amused to Death" I always thought that its a neighbors dog barking outside. It was recorded thru some Q-Sound effects, but as mentioned already by @gs5556, my expectations fooled me. The effect is lost thru the headphones.
