I think I preferred it when stage microphone systems weren't so good and the artists mimed.

Mee-ow!

I've always preferred studio recordings ...
Can't say I've listened to many live performances or recordings thereof, but I can't think of any I have that appealed much.

I saw Bob Dylan live back in the 80's, he could not have been worse if he was embalmed and laying on the mortuary slab. However one of the most memorable and atmospheric live performances I have ever seen was The Cure at Glasto in the early 90's , pouring with rain and covered in mud.

pouring with rain and covered in mud.

Context trends to colour things a bit.
I'd have been about 40 then, so it might not have impressed me so much

Especially the middle one. I avoid him at all costs and would refuse to buy any of his late wife's brand of products as that would give him money.I'm sick of the sight of his face in every newspaper or magazine I've looked at recently.

Oh, and Prune Face Jagger.

U2
Sting
James Blunt

James Blunt should never have gone on stage at any time! Or Ed Sheeran, come to that.
