I never compare the two. When I play a record I'm playing a bloody
record,
not trying to recreate some sad-arsed past 'live event'. (If my
records
sounded as disappointing as some of the 'live music' I've heard in my
time,
I'd ditch 'em!)

My mistake. I thought that recordings were supposed to be an attempt to
recreate some sort of musical event.


Bladerunner......?



What do you find disappointing about "live music"? The acoustics? The
performance? The volume?


Missing a 'some of' I think, but I will just say not all live gigs are
'perfect' (for a variety of reasons) just because they are 'live'.....



The first time I went to an orchestral concert I felt the constant urge
to turn up the volume.
Silly me.


Er, no - I've had the same urge myself at some of the more unusual venues
like Ely Cathedral (where they are far more interested in getting it down
for the BBC......)
