I agree with Jeff. Often the live recording captures a bands excitement
more than a studio record. I know some people who hate live albums and I
just can't figure out why. If I am going to try out a group, and they
have tons of CDs in their section, I'll always choose the live album.

Hi all,
Sorry if any of this has been posted, have been off P2 for a few days.
Saw Del/Steve et al while in Chicago. They played at The Vic, which is a big
old theater with all the seats pulled out. Nice idea except when most of the

in his gray button-down wool vest and plaid cap. Looks like the McCoury's are

Sorta neat.

While I
have some sympathy for Steve's POV, I'd like to add that there are fine
songs out there that simply sound superior in-studio.
I didn't say every live recording is better than every studio
recording. Steve Earle's, for instance, is far inferior to everything
he's done since. I just
I agree. I think, for example, that Kiss's "Alive 2" is far better than,

How come some acts, usually the Alt Country, Bluegrass, etc, etc, sound so
much better live than they do on disc, and others, Big name rock, Country,
etc sound so much better on disc than they do live.
With zero experience in the studio, Is it that difficult to capture the

I think it's hard to come up with general rules here. The studio can be a
pretty dead place, but there have been some mighty fine, spirited,
*exciting* studio albums made. Recording with minimal overdubbing can
sometimes result in a livelier album, but on the other hand, the Lonesome

Dunno much about outside of bluegrass, but record table money in bluegrass
is a lot more than gravy; it can be half the take or more. Big bluegrass
acts can do $1200 and up at the table.
