When I read this I get the impression that the difference is similar 
to studio vs live act/recording of a band, where the live version 
usually is a little less elaborated but in change has more of a 
spontaneous punch.

But what we should bring over to the public is the different feel of 
live looping which has been often discribed here with "freedom" and 
"flowing" and such. Its a different way to search for inspiration and 
I find important that the public has a chance to observe it 
happening, even on recordings (unless they are heavily 
edited/overdubbed or totally composed)

Also, "recorded looping" is not used as a label and it may not make 
sense to create it here...
