I would presume a lot of background/audience noise was eliminated from the production.
Having been an audience member for a limitless number of concerts recorded for video or audio recordings, the end result is far far far far different than the actual experience as an audience member. The sound is usually taken from the soundboard feed, because there was often so much screaming and singing along that the artist would have never been able to have been heard singing their own song at all. Stevie Nicks singing "Landslide" in the 24 Karat Gold Concert, Madonna singing "Holiday" in her hometown of Detroit on the Drowned World Tour, and Cher singing "Believe" on her recorded tours instantly come to mind, followed by many, many others. |
