11 posts	of course recorded music sounds better on a cd, artists can do as many takes as possible to get the track to sound perfect. But there is nothing more powerful than a live acoustic performance. It separates the true artists from the mere entertainers.

82 posts	The recorded version always sounds better, but I'd go to a concert over listening to a CD anyway... No question! * offtopic : The Aquabats! rule the earth!

70 posts	For me, live music because you get to experience the artist. In York, where I live, we have a great small venue where I go most, and you can often get right to the front, it only holds about 150 people. A couple of times I've ended up onstage with the band or carrying them stagediving. However, for sound qualtiy & convineince (sp?) a CD is better simply because it's conditioned and the sound is easier on the ears, but I'd still go to see a show anyday over a CD. * offtopic : If you ever get a chance to go to Fibbers Barfly in York to see a good band, do it. It's a great place, but it's 15+ and very strict about I.D

27 posts	well you don't go to the show for the sound quality... you can listen to the cd a million times if you wanted, you have a 3 hours if you're lucky to savor a show

263 posts	I haven't really been to any concerts. Well, actually, I confess: I went to an S Club 7 concert. When I was about six years old. I can hardly remember a thing about that concert... I really want to go to a concert (only with a good band singing this time... lol), but for one thing I don't really have anyone to go to one with me - some of my friends have very different music tastes to me - and also, I don't think my parents would pay the full price of a concert ticket for me, and I haven't really got a lot of money at the moment... Maybe for a birthday / Christmas present. Whatever. And I think that a band can be good on CD but really rubbish live - but some bands can be really amazing live. It depends on the band. * offtopic : You're being a bit mean to Ieshie, Misfitgurl... But Ieshie, I think you're getting slightly uptight. Relax... Or just call her a stupid [insert swear word of your choice here] and ignore her * offtopic : Today's featured band's Nickelback... They rock! Though I have to admit, the "I Wanna Be A Popstar" video (parody of Rockstar) is a definite improvement on the lyrics... Lol

1,429 posts	Yeah, i agree with slimguy, artist can make their tracks sound perfect by doing as many takes as possible, but in the live some of them often sing some songs wrongly , even they forgot the lyrics, that really makes me piss off. Lol... for the quarlity of sound the cd is perfect.but in the live concert , u can feel the atmosphere, make new friends.

84 posts	it really depends on the artist. some bands actually sound better on cd. but usually i think its better live. i love that vibe on a concert, and some bands can really get a certain feeling across to the audience ... it's hard for me to explain that in english but i guess people who picked "on concerts" know what i mean and apart from all that feeling-stuff ... concerts are fun, yippie!

33,806 posts	I'd say that it depends on how good a musician is. If he's a real musician, he should be able to give a life performance of high quality .. unfortunately there are not that many musicians anymore .. I stopped going to concerts because over the years concerts got louder and louder as quality became poorer and poorer.

7 posts	It really depends. Most singers/bands I listen to sound horrible live although my favorite band, Ali Project, sounds just as awesome live. So I think recorded CDs sound better.

209 posts	recorded music sounds wayyyy better cuz you can actually understand the words and you can hear the melody and any changing chords and such. however, live music is much more fun. hands down. * offtopic : ps- one of the much better polls!
