Rude,
most performers record all of their live shows--Mostly so they can critique themselves. Thats why occasionally you'll see some odd live version of a song on a CD single. Sting has done that quite a few times. I know some sound engineers and they tell me that the performers are almost always recording the show. That means there are tons of "private" live recordings. Most of the time the recordings are intended to be released in the first place, so the attention to the recording mix isn't as high as to the live venu mix.
