live versions

Not studio takes

Live versions are recordings or performances captured during actual concerts or broadcasts rather than in a studio.

The term appears most often in music: a band's live versions of their songs may differ significantly from studio recordings through extended solos, audience interaction, or altered arrangements.

The live version has more energy than the album track.

Live versions also apply to software, broadcasts, or any content delivered in real time rather than pre-recorded.
