If I'm not going to get either a musical interaction with the audience or some kind of theatrical experience, I really don't see the point in shelling out the bucks and spending the evening going to a "live performance". If all an artist is going to do is plug in the DAT deck and mime over their keyboards, hell, I could have just bought the CD and listened to it at home. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@rt66.com)
