I somewhat disagree. It can be interesting to hear the slight variations in the performance and sometimes I think the crowd noise adds to it in a good way. Portishead Roads live (youtube.com) version is a good example of this.
If the audio is total crap like some shitty bootleg than sure, I'd prefer the studio version every time.
