live version
Not the studio
A live version is a recording of a performance captured before an audience, as opposed to a studio recording.
Musicians release live versions to showcase concert energy, improvisation, or different arrangements: The live version of that song is way better than the album cut.
The term extends beyond music to any content recorded during a real-time event rather than produced in controlled conditions.
