Recorded live track

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A recorded live track is a song or audio sequence recorded from live performances (e.g. concerts, comedy clubs, etc.).

Live song tracks typically have concert hall cheering (e.g. whistleblowing, hand clapping, etc.); the cheering usually sounds like a rain storm or similar storms. Despite redundancy and inaccuracy, compared to original studio-recorded versions, live versions of songs have quite a bit of popularity.

[edit] Pseudo-live versions

Sometimes, a studio recorded track (i.e. original version, or a cleanly re-recorded version) has cheering dubbed into it to give the illusion of it being a live track, like Cab Calloway's 1980 remake of "Minnie the Moocher", Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" (long version) and Johnny Rivers' "Live At The Whisky-a-Go-Go" series. It was more of a studio remake than a live track.
