I'll buy that....this just got me thinking....whether you are going into 
the 
studio to record a live album, or going to a gig with 1 day in adavance, 
it 
all seems like creativity on demand.  In fact, going to a gig as a free 
improviser seems just as demanding and on demand as going into the studio. 
In either case, I demand the same standard of quality for my playing. In 
that light, playing live and producing a quality of work that is 
tantamount 
to that of the studio seems to raise the bar even more.  You don't get to 
stop and start over again.  This is why I admire live recordings so 
much....you get to hear the raw talent of the artist(s).  All the craft in 
the studio with cutting and pasting, aligning vocal tracks to they start 
at 
the same time, end at the same time, pitch correction, punching in and 
out....it is all amusing to me, but doesn't impress me from an artistic 
standpoint. That seems like more of a craft to me.
