Appreciate, yes.  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.
