in my opinion, the reason they sound "better" is the live energy. I
love listening to live recordings, although they almost invariably
inferior in terms of sonic quality. And studio recording are
generally better sonically, but lack the energy, excitement, and un-
self-consciousness of a live performance in front of an audience. i
doubt re-recording a studio session in an auditorium will help you
achieve what you're looking for.

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?
