there is one thing I have learned from doing live work; there is nothing
louder in the world than the sound of people talking during your set. I
never really used to notice it much before I started giging, and now I
notice it all the time during other peoples sets.
On the other hand, you know your doing a great job when you can keep a
crowd of people silent for an hour at a time. I judge the quality of any
given moment during a set by the amount of people talking. It is a good
feeling to have 50 people silent for half an hour. you know you are
doing something right...
Another thing that I have learned over the years is that very few people
actually go out to *listen* to music. If people actually cared about
what was being played in the background most of the rave/club scene
would have died 5 years ago.
You people will dance to anything,

> does anyone else get pissed off when they hear people talking through live recordings?? i'm listening to these boc live tracks and it pisses me off to hear people talking throught their set. if i were lucky enought to be there i'd be up front, with my mouth wide open, wondering how i was lucky enough to be witness to such beauty. have some respect, and go to shows for the music, not to chill with your homies and talk about dumb shit.
