Actually most the big rock bands do pre-programmed sets during their 'live'. The order of the tracks, their lengths etc. Its everything but spontaneaous. The good proof for that is that all the lights and visuals are pre-programmed (just go next to the light jockey in a rock live, he has next

http://www.urbandictionary.com/ defines live as: Jumping, full of people, exciting. Something was very enjoyable. For example, Kevin Reynolds' set last night was live. You could also say it was all the way live. m50 At 2009.04.16 12:08, Arturo Lopez wrote: This is not a snarky question,
