That's the classic problem with recorded sound or sound/video, it doesn't
compare to being there. I have surround sound now, and it still doesn't recreate
the intensity of the live performance. Of course, I'm not able to crank it in my
condo!
Surround live albums are a joke anyway. Alls ya get is extra audience and some
sound reflection in the rear speakers in an attempt to capture the sound of the
hall.
