I have always understood that pop and rock records are mastered according to the wishes of the producer and the wishes of the band are often overridden for commercial reasons.
Live performances can be different, the band have more opportunity to produce the sound THEY want the listener to hear.
Compare. Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", from their original 1972 live Made in Japan album and the more recent remixes.
