if you're considering where to go for a night of music, I'd want to have an
idea of whether to expect a DJ set or a live set. sure, maybe the music
would be good either way, but with a live set, you may be going because you
are a particular fan of that producer's music. hearing someone mix other
peoples music and hearing them perform their own are two vastly different
things IMO. different enough to make a distinction when promoting events
and shopping for an evening activity. :)

Too many chin-scratchers makes for dull vibe. Not enough leaves no quality
control. This is waay too much chin scratching. Deciding on whether to see
an artist based on his kit? Come on. Your going to see the artist not his
tools. Part of that experience is the chance that he might do something
unexpected, whether it works or not is up to the connection between the
artist, the audience and the artistic execution. Personally I'm a big fan
of the "take-a-chance-if-it-don't-pan-out-then-walk" method. Been working
great for me for years. Anything else would be uncivilized.
And why's jamaul a troll. Did I miss something?

Nope, do you want me to list what pants Surgeon wears when he
plays at Dust? After all if they are to tight the could make
a difference. It's just to anal and dull. If you go and see
Richie and don't expect minimal, I'd be wondering which rock
you've be under.
Do you read all the ingredients on the food you buy?
It's the mentality that is wrong and more and more artist
refuse to have Live put at the side for any gig because it's
impossible to define and all the "techno bores" just love to
jump down the promoters throat.
Having the same kit or records won't make you into a Claude
Young or Surgeon, I don't see why the focus has shifted,
bands don't list all the kit they play on...why should we be
any different?
It's not the way it is, 99.9% of people don't care, they just
came to enjoy themselves not worry about which
plug-in/needle/decks/pants where used.
