Studio or Live? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which kinds of CD's do you guys like better?

I've gotta say live because of CD's like "Live 1964, Live 1975, and Live 1966" all amazing live Dylan stuff. I always love the bootlegs I've got of Dylan shows, Xavier shows, Ryan Adams shows, Neil Young shows and REM.

Great thread, Modfather!

Dylan's bootleg series is amazing. I also really like the live sets that Pearl Jam releases.

I have tons of live albums in my collection, and I love almost all of them. Even so, I prefer studio recordings as a general rule.

There's only one artist in particular (obvious) who I'd love to have a bunch of live recordings from. Most everyone else I like though, the studio albums they release satisfy me enough. Maybe that's because I've never been a huge concert-goer. But I do have some great live bootlegs from my favorite artist that I've been listening to alot lately. Helps me to appreciate his music even more.

Well I prefer a concert over a CD any day, but live recordings are different. I guess if it's a legit live CD it's okay, but bootlegs can be terrible, quality wise.

I'd rather listen to a live CD. It's just....there's something about it that makes it more appealing to me.

I like live better. The music and vocals sound louder and more energetic than on a regular studio CD.

Well, a few weeks ago, I would've definitely said studio recordings, but I just recently bought Garth Brooks' "Double Live," and it's absolutely amazing.

I'm not sure how I would like other artists live, but Garth's a maniac at his concerts, so this CD is great.

i wouldn't want a live cd without the studio album first. it makes it better. i doubt i'd enjoy metallica's S&M cd as much if i hadn't already heard the studio versions.

That's a good point. There are songs on the Garth album that I've never heard before, so I don't know what they really sound like...ya know, without all the screaming and craziness.

I like Studio media better because usually they dont do it right live and the vocals you can barely hear!

I do have some live stuff I like

ALLMAN BROTHERS LIVE AT FILLMORE EAST - 8track,cassette and record
DEEP PURPLE MADE IN JAPAN - 8track,record
BARRY MANILOW LIVE - 8track
Crosby Stills and Nash 4 WAY STREET - 8track
Judith Priest - Unleashed in the East - I have the cassette and record

Thankfully the vocals are loud and nice on these..

JO Sweet Heart · 04-03-2026, 02:21 AM

I love both, but I will say that I prefer CDs over vinyl and cassettes.

God bless you always!!!
