We spent last weekend with one of the key figures of the country rock scene of the 70s and 80s and he said something that really struck me. Back then your musicianship had to be stellar, because there was no technology to cover the flaws. You played great live, every time. So much of that live energy has been lost in the past decade as music has become perfect. Perfect isn't always great. Live performance energy is great, and you can't fake that.
