recorded live performances were mentioned, but I could see how hearing multiple recordings of a particular song in a style that is known to change performance to performance could give you more appreciation, I'm just not sure how multiple recorded live performances differ from multiple studio recordings. Maybe the implication was that there are multiple recorded live performances for most popular artists compared to a single or very few studio recordings from that artist for a song, and so it's worth listening to the good live recordings to hear the variation?
