There is wonderful place in the live version of U2's song Party Girl were the Edge plays a note vague and Bono yells "Guitar Hero". Far from sounding the song making that is directly away from the audience, the edge is maybe a little uncomfortable, but is about living and fear, the seat belt for the ride.

The lip synching is a great thing, so in the grand scheme of things probably not. Does it really matter if the program is prerecorded? Probably not. Do most people in the audience's attention? Probably not. Will it stop to have a great night out? Once again … probably not. Can I change and moved inside? … Probably not.

Depends on what you think music is that never before has there been such a proliferation of sound. There is hardly a place in the Western world were the sound of music or machines have no saturation of our senses. Music has become the filling in our brain, silence has been banished. We have become accustomed to the super slick photo package purchased, and perhaps find the real thing a bit thin on the ground.

Then enter the Gladiator. When a singer or musician steps and puts it in real time whenever there is danger. It may fail, sings out of tune, being beaten by nerves, or they can all be ashamed. Could be disappointing … we do not want disappointment.

But with his talent and value of live music opens the possibility of never heard before. You can only feel something I had not felt before. We can be moved and changed in ways not foreseen. And in a strange mysterious way connected to the audience and the player.

When I was young I went one evening and heard a huge choir singing in an old wooden church in Auckland, New Zealand, not my usual fare, but my companions wanted I Tag Along. I can not say now what they sang, but I remember the feeling of fresh needle, and I can see the singers standing in front of me and the air alive and full of diamonds. After the concert and returned to our old rented house in the city, and for a long time I could not go, I stayed in the music and watching the stars.

You can not buy the time again, but I've felt at different times. Some guitarist or singer or the trumpet player on the line until such time it will fall, but even could fly. Does it matter? Well depends on what moves you when production is so close that there is no room for failure, it is probably true that are not in danger of magic either.
