Which bands do you think perform better live than in the studio? I know most of the time, a live event is more powerful and fun than listening to a CD, but don't you think there are certain artists that perform and sound significantly better on stage than they do on CD/vinyl/cassette/mp3 etc?
My #1 vote goes to Iced Earth. Good studio albums sure, but live, they are blistering. (This was during the Barlow era).
Also, how about bands that sound HORRIBLE live and yet significantly better in the studio?
My #1 vote goes to Megadeth. Excellent albums, but they always had shit live sound/PA systems, too much white noise, and the timing was always off. They got better in the later days, but at that point they were practically a rock band with no complexity. Some of their later stuff was almost Oasis...
So, better on stage vs better on CD?
