Similar to our in-class discussion of the studio and live recorded versions of "Burnin' and Lootin'" [Natty Dread (1973), Live at Leeds (1973), and Live! (1975)], select one song recorded by a single artist that you know well that exists in both a studio and at least one live recording that you can find on YouTube (include YouTube URLs for each recording that you discuss).
In your paper, compare the studio and live recordings. Address the following questions:
1. How are the studio and live versions performed the same or differently?
2. The lyrics - are there changes or differences between the studio and live versions?
3. Are there instrumental breaks or solos in each recording? If so - where? How are they the same or different in each recording?
4. Where is the energy in each performance and why do you believe that it is the case for each recording?
5. Does the artist address or interact with the crowd in the live version(s)? How does this make it a different experience than the studio recording for you and for a member of the original audience?
