live recording
Audience-present audio
A live recording captures a performance as it happens before an audience, as opposed to a studio recording assembled in controlled conditions.
Live recordings preserve crowd noise, spontaneous moments, and the energy of real-time performance: The live recording includes her banter with the audience between songs.
Musicians often release live albums to showcase performance skills that studio work can't convey.
