Is there anything better than live recordings?

"Live in the studio", which many jazz dudes (and some others) do, can sound amazing. Lots of pop music takes months to record, sweating over details and overdubs...some of my fave jazz musicians (or perhaps most of them) like Julian Lage or John Scofield record entire albums in a couple of days with astonishing results. 

There’s a difference between sonics and content. I assumed that the OP was addressing sonics as this is a high-end audio forum 

B.L.S. Black Light Syndrome | Bozzio, Levins, Steven's - Studio recording masterpiece 

The Pretenders | The Isle of View - Live recording masterpiece 

There is no Isle of View = I Love You.  :))

Absolutely masterpiece. Even better with more pictures of the great bass guitar player.
