I'm affraid i don't share your point of view. I have audience analog recordings from the early 80's that sounds better than digital soundoards from our era (well, almost, every amateur recording has it's goods and bads, it can not be compared with an official release, in may cases). There are some good, experienced tapers who have done really great audience recordings which i enjoy more than an offical release of the same band.
Of course, there are many shity recordings out there but it's your choice if you want to download it (for free) and listen to it.
I personally think DAT audience recordings capture the sound better than other AUD recordings, even the full-digital new HD recorders, but that's a different thing.
