Live music almost always sucks. They amplify the crap out of everything so that it's just an undifferentiated crashing dinand this goes for jazz as well as pop (aka "rock")and then you get to spend time in the company of a crowd of stoned or drunk assholes you wouldn't associate with under any other circumstances. Apart from classical chamber music, I haven't heard a listenable concert in a decade; the exceptions only prove the rule. Why else have a stereo?
