I don’t imagine you can can recreate a rock concert at home , but then I’ve never been to one .
I have been to several thousand classical concerts and with the best CD’s,
from firms like BIS and harmonia mundi(france) , you can come damn close .
Fact, a large amount of what you "hear" is memories of what you have heard live thrown by brain into mix .
That’s why a 90 yr conductor who can’t hear 4K on a hearing test can correct a Musician playing a boo-boo at 10K .
Extreme Compression was/ is? an effort to make sure the radio dial went no further when air-time was the main thing
that sold rock/pop recordings .
