Why aren't there more live recordings of classical concerts?

I was wondering this when listening to this Shostakovich live recording a while back which Martin introduced me to ...

Superlative sound quality and that extra 'frisson' that live spontaneous performances bring,
I find it rather irresistible and certainly want to search out more to enjoy.

I know there are a few decent Mahler live recordings out there, Tennstedt's 2^nd and 8^th come to mind, both of which were recorded by the Beeb at the Royal Festival Hall. I believe the 5^th, 6^th, and 7^th were also released.

Also, wasn't there a whole "LSO Live" series?

I didn't use to need the internet, my wife knew everything.

Thanks for that Paul, there certainly is an LSO Live series - lsolive.lso.co.uk/

A quick look on spoti has some of these showing so I will be investigating - in preference to the Mahler ...

I'll then try to see if any other orchestras are doing likewise ...

There's a whole Sibelius cycle with Sir Colin Davis including the fab Kullervo Symphony.
