My only problem with live music is when the stupid audience keeps cheering over the song I like. If the audience behaves, the impromptu nature of a live performance can be great. I have some awesome mp3s of Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, and David Wilcox giving live performances where the audience listens appreciatively during the song--actually, now that I've typed that out, I realize that the latter two of those were both from CMEP.
