Goes to show that few bands are actually any good, they require a studio and a LOT of time to fix their issues before it reaches a CD,and those that are often get destroyed by the location.
Complete bollocks. You’re obviously an obsessive perfectionist who can’t allow the slightest deviation from the original recording to spoil your enjoyment of that recording.

Gigs are for the needy who pay twice to listen to the same shite.
Been to a gig but only as an experience … never again … they are all shite.
Just as big a load of bollocks.
The whole fricking POINT is that the live experience is different to the bloody record! Otherwise there is no point.
I’ve only ever walked out of a gig once, because the headline act I’d paid to see had been shunted to support, the main act being 65daysofstatic. And they were just really dull.
I truly can’t count the number of gigs and live performances I’ve seen over the last forty-four years, including thirty five at one Reading festival, and thirty nine in one year.
I’ve very, very rarely been disappointed, and more often been left breathless by the talent there in front of me performing songs that I love.
And, sometimes, being able to meet those people afterwards. They say that you should never meet your heroes. Well, I’ve met a few of mine, and they’ve never been anything other than really lovely people, especially the bloke who I saw in a venue holding a couple of hundred people, and who had written, or co-written, some of the biggest selling songs by the Eagles. Smashing bloke, he was chuffed to bits I took along his 1976 album on vinyl, and the CD version, for him to sign.
Really looking forward to the next year of live music, by the Paper Aeroplanes, Eddie Reader, Half Man Half Biscuit, Elbow, Goldfrapp; and that’s just for starters.
Oh, and I saw Goldfrapp twice last year, and the Paper Aeroplanes.
