how do they do those live records, by the way? i always thought the crowd and generally unrelated noisy crap would interfere with the quality of those recordings, but you can usually hear the singer pretty clearly, only "noise" being the crowd cheering, singing along to certain parts (still not as loud as the singer) etc.
that's because the mics are right up to the singers, not the audience. when you DO hear a lot of crowd noise in a live recording, that's because the crowd is actually being miced up as well, and mixed in. real crowd noise levels are a lot quieter than a modern PA system.
