This is the whole point--are you going for the music or for the "show."
If someone puts on a great "show" but the music sucks, I'm outta there.
I'm more concerned about what the audience does at a live performance
because I'm surrounded by them. When the music makes me want to move and
everyone around is sitting or standing with their fingers in their butts,
waiting for something to "happen" on stage, I'm pissed. But then I can
always just close my eyes and enjoy the groove, right?
