Polished live audio or raw unpolished live audio?

Which is best, really want your opinion on this, not doing this just to get hits on youtube (Asking about AUDIO ONLY thx!) :

our band live recording/video with multitrack audio that is post-mixed and polished (it's all live however, no retakes & no digital corrections): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWn6u0XWj7Y

OR do you prefer unpolished live audio: http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/arti ... os/2506148

PLEASE only asking about the audio - do not compare the video (we know the differences in video are huge but we have our reasons beyond our control on these)

thx

Best for what? Document your work? Demo vid to get gigs? The band sounds good and I think either would be useful as a demo vid. The ideal demo vid is a collage of short video clip highlights IMO. Three songs by three artists at three different settings, and just 10-20 second highlights.... Unless you are strictly a Journey tribute band.

I always like a live version play more so than a polished version.I don't know there is just something about the raw performance that I like.Good video and audio and a very tight band.Well done sir.

Can't really tell the difference in the small amount I listened to of that one song. The kick is way up in the mix but overall good sound.
