Why does Pandora play live versions of songs instead of the original? Most live versions are not as good.

@PH70 Nice to see you around the community.

We don't currently have the option to filter out certain versions of tracks, such as remixes or live recordings on Pandora stations.

I recommend upvoting this existing thread if you'd like to see the option added to Pandora: Ideas: Exclude Live performances or remixed versions of songs

In the meantime, if you Thumb Down a live or remixed version of a song, you will not hear that version again on the station you're listening to. This will not keep the studio version of that track from playing and doesn't necessarily mean that you will no longer hear other songs by that artist. You should use your Thumb ratings freely to tell Pandora what you want and don't want to hear.

I hope this helps!
