Do we all have to comply with the 'rock n roll' big concert style. NO! I
agree that music performance has to show the passion behind it's creation,
so doing SOMETHING during a live performance (real performers, not DAT
wannabes) - Even if it's sitting behind a laptop clicking away at Rebirth or
something. Who cares? I listen to music when I go to gigs, not to sit and
watch said nerd with his laptop. The more an artist makes his/her/their
performance attractive, that's cool. But silly pop dancer routines (which I
expect Joe Bloggs wants) are not in my book for gig requirements. Think
about DJ's. When I DJ, I play live stuff triggered through my EF303 to the
505, and no-one stops to watch me twiddle fx etc. DJ's can play good music,
yet be ignored. Maybe this might have made sense if I thought about it a
bit more, but it's fuel for a bit of debate about live IDM. Think about
FSOL. They played live, yet no-one saw them.
