Live music is a special and personal experience. When it's good, it's great. When it's not so good, at least you were there. Writing about it shares the experience amongst people who did not have that experience, whether they were there or not. It's a pretty cool thing. "The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music." (The Merchant of Venice, 5.1.91-7)
