Do you prefer listening to music recorded live/in concert, or in a studio? Are there specific performers/bands where you have a preference for one over the other?

I'll listen to either. Listening live at a concert is the best experience. Can't beat the crowd, the music beating in your chest. Way different vibe altogether. Funny this thread pops up as we are in middle of setting up to get tickets for a concert in July lol.Do you prefer listening to music recorded live/in concert, or in a studio?

I got to see the original lineup at Ozzfest. It was a long, hot day and it was not a great performance. But i can say i saw the original guys play. I saw Ozzy once live during his solo days, and it was a great show.Black Sabbath
The word back in tbe 70s was the Sabbath would not do a live album because of all their studio overdubs and audio wizardry, particularly with regards to Ozzy's vocals.I got to see the original lineup at Ozzfest.

Yep i have the vinyl album of Live at Last lol. They did a live album when Dio was singing for them.The word back in tbe 70s was the Sabbath would not do a live album because of all their studio overdubs and audio wizardry, particularly with regards to Ozzy's vocals.
In the early 80s, a live Sabbath album (Live at Last) was released, but it was a bootleg, not something the band or their label released. It was awful. From that point on, guys came and went, and I don't think the original line up did a live album until around 2000. Even that was a money grab, a last gasp effort to cash in on a reunion tour.
