1) NO! To say "There has never...." would imply that I have heard EVERY
live recording ever made...?!

2) My "live recordings" date so far back (1986/7!) that they were made
"analogically" (is that a word? it should be!) on cassettes, using a
fairly decent-quality machine (Sony of that vintage) and two medium-
priced mikes. Sadly, my hearing is so reduced by age and head injuries
that all I can say is, "They sound good to me...!:

My point was that listening to the BEST live recording of a musical
event simply does NOT provide the emotional impact of being present
at that selfsame event (even WITHOUT smoking anything, as well...!).

I enjoy listening to the tapes...but they don't instantly knock
two decades or so off my age...?!
