they just don't seem to have the same feel as when they're performed in a studio. Plus you have the screaming from the crowd that you have to listen to (which kind of gets on my nerves). What about you? Do you like live versions of songs, like the studio versions better, or have no preference?

As long as you don't mean Prince. His live recordings can be amazing.

I've especially been liking it live lately.

Some artists I prefer live (Santana, for example), but I hear you.

Are you MAD? Are you madder than Brian Mad from Madcastle?

Stax said:

Yeah, sometimes the live versions seem to lose the quality of the song. Guess I prefer the studio versions.

Nooo, just stating my opinion, which I'm entitled to, the same as everyone else around here.

Generally I prefer the studio versions... However check out these 3 great live albums, and it may change your mind a little bit :
"How the West Was Won"- Led Zeppelin
"Live at Leeds"- The Who
"Get Your Ya-Ya's Out"- The Rolling Stones
"It's Too Late to Stop Now"- Van Morrison

That makes 4 actually. But these are all cases where the live versions equal , or even surpass , the original versions
