I'm going to see MBV this Friday and I'm pretty excited and yeah, the price is pretty steep, but I had the dough. I have no problem if their sound differs from their recordings as long as it sounds good. I actually like it when the sound is a bit different. Mercury Rev live, for example, sound different but blow away any of their recordings. Even their weak later material sounds good. On the other hand, Luna was a decent show, but they sounded exactly like their recordings. I was wondering what I paid for, except to hang out with friends and have a good time.
I feel the same about cover tunes, too. Unless their is an original interpretation, why the fuck bother?
