Default Why do live recordings sound "better"?

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?


IMHO they sound "better" because the correct ambience which help
things to sound more natural even with mix errors.


Also there is live in studio and live In Concert, the difference being the
interaction with the audience.

Kind regards
