   That's at least part of the idea. Of course for the really awesome live   
   albums, some studio equipment is used minus the studio gimmicks, and that's   
   what I'm looking for...nothing that can be done in the studio that can't   
   also be done live!!!

   Well of course, and that's another reason to go Totally Original and make   
   Music history - then you'll have all that stuff, and roadies too ;)

   Those old recordings lacked a lot of sound  quality - BUT - the Truly Most   
   Important Factor of all was not lacking, and that was TALENT!

   I seriously doubt that much could be done in the studio once they were   
   recorded live. But they did use the same sound setups used in the studio   
   live, the huge mixing consoles and everything else, was used for the live   
   concerts.

   Some live concert album recordings were done in more than one place and at   
   more than a single show, but not all.   
   Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band's Live Bullet album comes to mind - it   
   was a live recording of a single show.

   I thought the live recordings were nothing short of awesome, and a reason   
   why I prefer that to studio gimmickry.

   Of course, and you should also have the MP3 of the song which I had sent you   
   almost 2 years ago ago, If you don't have it anymore, I could send it again.

   The stage setup looked really nice...I know I'd enjoy playing with that   
   setup...if I could sit down at the keys ;)
