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......?

Sorry? Not being a fanboy I don't understand the reference.

You have a point about not comparing the two (record and live) 'cos it
is a bit invalid comparing "studio" albums with anything live although
it probably is valid for recordings of "acoustic" music.




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'.....
"missing a 'some of'" ... what you mean?
And the variety of reasons are?

"Live gigs" as you put are a bit of a different experience it terms of
sound quality but then that may depend on the type of music featured in
the performance.


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......)
Did they tell you that if you have to cough do it during the loud parts
of the music?

You went a snip to far and cut out:-

Err, I thought you said that ALL digital music is crap compared to
vinyl.

Is digital music okay if it is subsequently recorded onto vinyl ?
