Personally, if I'm going to a live performance, I
do like the performers to interact with the audience. I don't mind the
knob twiddling as long as the performer does acknowledge the existence of the
audience. People generally do expect more at a live performance than just
a replay of the recording. Honestly, that is one of the reasons that I
don't go to many stadium shows. Interaction between the artists and the
audience makes the evening much more fun.
I have noted that my favorite looping performers
have altered their styles over time to include a greater interaction with the
audience. They still do the same amount of knob twiddling, but use simple
techniques of eye contact and stories between pieces to draw the audience in to
what they are doing.
