As someone who has recorded live music for years sometimes with very good gear I tell you recordings never match the live sound. A studio recording serves (or should serve) a different purpose than a live set. But what you hear never quite gets recorded (or is it the reverse), even with digital.

Maybe I'm repeating what you wrote (I got confused near the end), but: what you say about recorded shows never equaling the performance applies to studio recordings, as well. Neil Young has been complaining for years that the sound in the studio never makes it on to the album. It becomes something different, and is never a true mirror of the studio sound. Not sure that's good or bad. Just is.
