by the way, if someone approves of something that would generally indicate that they are pleased with it.

I know, I'm saying that
approval is stupid. Pleasing someone for the sake of gaining approval is stupid. Pleasing them for
their benefit is not. There's usually a huge tension between playing live and recording--a lot of talented bands like one or the other a lot more. But if they just stopped halfway through the tour because they were tired, that would be the band's unwillingness to compromise for the sake of pleasing the audience.
EDIT: I think it's the same thing about compromising music. If you want to do something and afford to live, you gotta give your audience a bone. At the very least, run a side project or something. Working for a living is a compromise, but it needs to be done. Aside from a paycheck, society wouldn't function without that.
