I would have to disagree, my friend. Live audio is full of compromises that a recording studio is designed to address. One of the key aspects of setting up a live gig is to tune the room, subtracting the frequencies that are reinforced by resonant nodes created in structures with invariably parallel walls. So in terms of fidelity, you can get much better control and reproduction in a studio, BUT without a thousands-strong crowd, do you get the same performance? Not usually.
That being said, one of my favorite albums of all time is U2's under a blood red sky. I don't care that it's not the best sound quality, it's the raw energy of the performance that makes that record.
