what exactly are we questoning here? how musch skill the band has or if it sounds better recorded in a studio? personally i think you do have to go to a show to see how 'skilled' a band is, but that doesn't mean they sound better! look at green day... live they aren't very good but the spirit of punk is probably raging harder thatn you can ever get on a cd... some bands don't sound much different live- look at linkin park. the spirit is always going to be hyped up at a concert but a recorded and edited peice of music only makes a band sound like they want to.. otherwise they wouldn't edit it or they would edit it less. personally i like bands who don't have to edit to achieve their own standards of listening and playing. but ther will always be bands who need that extra help, not that they sound bad, just that they want to sound different. sometimes it's necessary when you can't produce what you want.
