But that is what's making live recordings so much more interesting than 
a studio recording...
A studio recording is only interesting if its simply impossible to do 
the same live...

It definitely is, and please do not consider making a studio recording 
of this kind of music...
Live has more life (and the nice side effect, that you have much less 
work with it...)

Just think about who would buy it for which occasion. I'd imagine 
someone creating a fine dinner for her beloved, setting up that music to 
create an atmosphere as if they sit in a fine restaurant with live 
music. If it wouldn't be live it wouldn't work...
