I've been to hundreds of shows in my lifetime, and the one disappointing thing about them is this: the vast majority of modern bands are much better on record than they are live. I don't know why that is, but it's rare that even a very talented band blows me away live. U2 are still a great live performance (seen them twice), but I'd honestly rather have listened to The Bends and OK Computer back-to-back for free than have spent $50 to see a 2000s-heavy Radiohead set this summer.
