well in the case of AIA and WWWY, yes! both from radio city music hall and the church.
i think so far tho that Hello and WUTB is better on studio.
MYA is about equal but it kinda has more life live
i also think RITD live, esp on NYC concert, is better than in studio! the little breakdown between verse 1 and 2, the public singing, the massive instrumentation, the singing is "wilder", it's a perfect live song!
