When I saw GnR this past summer, I was sure as shit that Axl sounded exactly like the album... I mean every song was spot on... when I got home and watch the show on YouTube, I couldn't believe it was from the same show...

It's like watching a sports play in real time and then seeing it a second time in slow motion... not as captivating... or taking the professionally done make-up off a celebrity and wondering why she's not as pretty...

Call it an illusion, I call it magic but the voice we hear on YouTube is not good enough to fool 30 thousand people every night along with all critics... no one is that good... When you watch vids on YouTube you are stripping it back... You're taking the makeup off the model...
Perfectly said, I felt the exact same way when I saw Billy Joel a couple of years ago. Said to my friends that he sounded just like on the albums, then was amazed how different it was listening to the youtube clips.
