This has been discussed before, but I think it's a problem that hip-hop/
house/techno/etc has yet to address. Are live performances as important as
they used to be? When you're dealing with electronic-based forms of music,
that doesn't leave you much room for improvisation, since so much of the
stuff is programmed. That's why I rarely go out to live shows, they can't
do anything that is too different from the record. I might as well save my
money and enjoy the music in privacy.
