Lev:

I think that is true of recent live albums. I first noticed it with EAGLES
LIVE. It sounded too perfect, almost studio with an audience thrown in. It's
the technology. It's too sterile these days. This is just as true with WHO'S
LAST and JOIN TOGETHER.
I want the music to sound just a bit raw, which is why I'd rather have a
bootleg than a legit release these days.
