Do you prefer live recordings or studio recordings?

Studio since everything is edited and optimized and sounds better.

Or worse you always have the idiot yelling Freebird. Man I hate that guy and he is at every show!

Heh... at the last concert I went to, someone did that to the first opening band. They played maybe half a verse of it.
Then the next opener came out, and it happened again... only this guy was Corn Mo, so there's this dude up on stage looking like Meatloaf dressed as Vegas Elvis playing Freebird on the accordion. It was awesome, and something I will remember for the rest of my life. People were waving lighters and everything.

Studio.

The artist is usually off-key in live performances.

Yes, I know studio is all edited and optimized, but I don't give a sh!t. I rather have something fakeish that sounds good than something real that sounds bad.
BTW, I have never heard an artist performing live songs as good as studio recording, a couple comes close, but never as good.

I listen to mostly classical type music by now. Most of the recordings I have are studio but I have a couple live ones. This /\ does not apply to classical artists. Of course, they know how to sing. The real problem is the audience: they are all old people or smokers or something, so they are constantly coughing and shuffling. Bastards. I can't even remember the last time I had to cough, let alone shuffle around like some pathetic, broken down geriatric with a cramp in my thigh from breaking my bone 342 times. I hate them.
