Prefer, usually not. One artist that I can actually say that I prefer live is Chuck Mangione (Live at the Hollywood Bowl). I very much enjoy listening to Kansas (Two for the Show), but can't say that I prefer it to the studio cuts. By the way, what does the musician's on-stage ability have to do with the quality of their music? If keyboardist A can play virtuoso scales and such live, whereas keyboardist B must rely on overdubbing and sequencers etc., do you really dismiss the latter out of hand? Isn't it, instead, the final product that you listen to? If keyboardist B manages to sound more original/lyrical/cleaner etc. by using the multitrack studio to its fullest- more power to him.
