The internet has given people the chance to find out the truth
behind many things. The fact that fans could exchange information
and bootleg recordings throughout the planet has allowed them to
realize that most (all?) of the "live" albums we've loved over the
years were not exactly live after all...
Many were more or less heavily edited, others mixed live parts with
studio recordings, others were even almost entirely re-performed
and re-recorded in the studio. And mind: we're talking big names
here, not unknown musicians!
Of course, this is pretty disapponting, not because it's important
that a musician can play his music live (it is not, not from my point
of view), but because the fans' trust was betrayed.
Besides, having listened to several of these bootleg recordings,
I can say there was no reason at all for this: most of the music I
heard was so much more emotional and exciting than what went
onto the official releases! I just don't get it.
Anyway, one day I was listening to one of those fake "live" records
and - while enjoying it as I always had - I also felt a bit angry. I thought,
"Well, anybody can make a live record that way!"
And that's when I had this silly idea: I was going to make a fake live
album, too, but I was going to say it was fake right on the cover.
So, here it is, my fake live album :)
