At the risk of sounding like the newbie I am (you didn't hear that),
why do live recordings always sound "better" than studio recordings,
even with mix level errors, people coughing or yelling, and absence of
the numerous overdubbings/effects such as one hears in songs like
"Bohemian Rhapsody"? Additionally, can I re-create this sound - maybe
playing back a studio recording in an auditorium, and recording that?

What kind of music? "Better" in what way?

With respect to classical music, live recordings often sound better because
the recording engineer is less able to **** with the sound.

Classic/Hard Rock mostly. I haven't noticed it so much with classical.
