  • I would agree with you 100%, but there are some exceptions, so I’ll agree 98%. Frampton Comes Alive! is the only way I want hear the songs on this album. The studio versions are lifeless by comparison. The musicians are totally feeding off the crowd and the music is better for it. There is a live version of Tom Petty playing Breakdown where the audio mix of the crowd singing is phenomenal. He even says to the crowd “y’all’re gonna put me out of my job”. It’s just fun. I saw Pink Floyd live once and I was mildly let down. They played all their songs note for note, just like the studio versions. No new riffs, no live in-the-moment feels. I didn’t hate it, mind you, but it was a musical performance by professional musicians instead of a live rock concert. Kind of the opposite of what you’ve described.
