most live sets are recorded by the artist, club or promoter using DAT or some other professional-grade medium plugged directly into the club's soundboard or the dj's mixer.
if you want to secretly record an event yourself, the best device is a minidisc (the medium of choice for most bootleggers) or a good flash-based recorder like an edirol r1 or r-09.

Those sets are, 90+% of the time, recorded from a radio broadcast.

When a set is recorded directly from the mixer/sound board, the crowd can be added by having the house mic turned on anywhere that's in a central area.

Seems like it'd be just a bit difficult to get a "superb" quality recording from something bouncing around in the pocket or purse of someone who's dancing.
