I may be in the minority here but when I am looking for a song (usually a moldie) that I want to listen to, I want the original recording of the song. Not a live version, but the studio version. For me it's better. Case in point. I was wanting to listen to Billy Joel's 'New York State of Mind' and found 2 versions, live and the studio. Listened to both and studio was better.

Some of those live versions can get so boring to me. The musicians want to play forever (at times) and they may be inspired by the audience, but give me the studio version and hard work and planning.

Sort of like being drunk. You may think you're playing great, and feel really inspired, but in the end, you're not (exceptions to every rule, of course). Hard work and planning win out. You can fake inspiration, if you've done it enough. Most of my best licks on guitar have been found when I made a mistake. In a live performance you can't do it better, it's already done. In the studio you can say, I'm going to change that. IMHO.

Maybe it's a control issue.
