I think it has to do with the impressions held when you go see the show.
If you see that they're DJing, you don't expect a performance of live
music -- you expect good mixes and song selection. If you see a live
show, I think you expect more from the person you're seeing. I know I do,
despite it being a rather silly semantic.
