Live recording refers to the process of capturing audio or video performances in real-time, typically during concerts, events, or studio sessions. This method allows for the genuine energy and spontaneity of a performance to be preserved, creating an authentic listening or viewing experience for audiences. In music, live recordings can showcase the unique interactions between artists and their audience, often resulting in different interpretations of songs compared to studio versions. Popular examples of live recordings include albums by The Grateful Dead and MTV Unplugged sessions, which highlight the raw talent and creativity of performers in a live setting.
