   I thought you meant playing recordings and calling that a Live performance.

   I don't considering playing for those who aren't interested in listening   
   worthy.   
      
   > no it can't be recorded.  Sound can be recorded.   
      
   The psychoacoustic part of the Love Vibe can be recorded, because it is   
   acoustic energy...stimulated by the Love Vibe.

   Well of course, because it was sloppy to begin with ;)

   But it's the characteristics of that sound that can tell a lot, but that   
   requires Listening.

   Not quite. What you'll hear is something that's not Live...but the   
   inflections on the instrument(s), just like inflections of a singing voice,   
   can and do indicate the psychological condition of the person producing the   
   sounds.

   Or lack of understanding ;)

   As in scat singing?

   Depends on the details.

   Anything that's not tight sounds like that.   
      
   > Unless you really don't, and then, well, what is there to say.   
      
   I'm only interested in a tight sound won't waste my life with anything less   
   any more...been there too many times.   
      
   And jamming has Never meant getting loose and SLOPPY to me!!!

   Sounds like some of the bands I'd played with not all that long ago...and   
   they weren't really jamming either, they just SUCK - because they mostly   
   don't know, or care, what they're doing. They don't practice, never   
   rehearse, and do the same old, Stale CopyCatfish Bottom Feeder Crap over and   
   over ad infinitum ad nauseam...then can't wait to take breaks, run out  the   
   'clock', get the gig over with, grab the  Filthy Lucre, and run, only to do   
   the same Boring, Stale, and Miserable thing next week.   
   In other words MUSICAL PARASITES!   
      
   And I've given them more appropriate names for them too, based on the names   
   they already used:   
      
   The Honey Buckets   
   The Jukebox Drunkards   
   The Broken Back   
   Deadwood   
   The End   
      
   At least those names are deserved ;)
