OK, time to throw in my two cents on the subject of "live" performance. While
most of us would love to be dazzeled by amazing on-the-spot performances, it
doesnt allways happen. Why? Because the artist is in control. Sometimes they
want to be spontaneous when performing. Sometimes they are to lazy to work
out methods that would allow that. Sometimes, they percieve it as technically
infeasable. Sometimes they do it, sometimes they dont. When you pay to see an
artist perform, hopefully you are getting a glimpse at what their music means
to them and what they want it to mean to you. Thats why you pay. If all
things go well (P.A., lighting, ect.), you get to see an artist on his or her
own terms. To me thats often worth the price of admisson. Maybe you'll see
the music in a whole new light. Maybe not.
Its hard to make a connection with an artist without any contact.
cheers,
sam
