Ok, maybe not completely! I agree with your conclusion at least - that a lot of modern recordings sound sterile.
Personally I like raw recordings that have ambience: shuffling audiences, coughs, banging doors etc. To me that is part of the live experience. Normally these types of recordings are done simply, a pair of stereo mics near the front of the stage. I don't like clinical multi-mic recordings with a mic for every instrument, multiple takes etc. Perhaps there are more "good because they're simple" recordings available on LP, which might explain your impressions? However, it is possible to get nice live sounding recordings on CD (I have a few).
