Most people here seem to listen to a majority of electronic music, which doesn't demand a "performance" live from the artist and can be listened to in most any situation. But how many of you have been to an AFX concert and think the experience was better than that of his records? Or was it just completely different?

Music is better experienced on headphones.

Is art better in a gallery or a book?

i went to the warp concert on wednesday
id say it goes both ways. While its great to hear it LOUD with so much BASS, it kind of loses the sound quality, and you dont hear the little details.
Musically, its better to listen through headphones i think,
but it is also a great experiance to see the guys up on stage, making it, and having it BOOM through the speakers :)

Was there a lot of variation in the songs from the album versions? From the squarepusher and AFX that i've heard live, it sometimes sounds like they pressed a button and let a CD player run the course of the concert.

I still remember seeing Aphex live in '97
I don't remember listening to Aphex in my bedroom last Thursday afternoon.
thats the difference , the memorable experience of the event. the sound quality is no better, but thats not the point

well, honestly, of all the people i heard that night... the only person who i acctually have a cd of, and listen to alot, is Prefuse 73.
The songs where obviously the songs from the albums (youd recognize the melody etc) but he would change them around and what not
It was quite good imo.
As for the other guys... i dont know since i wasnt really familiar with thier stuff.
Prefuse 73 was on stage, and he looked very busy though =)

I don't care too much for live music. I'd only really want to see the Who (circa '70), The Beatles and maybe a couple others live. AFX live doesn't interest me at all.
I also don't like headphones... I've had the house all to myself, and there's been music blasting out of my speakers 24/7 at max volume. THIS is exactly how I like it... alone, nobody else to interfere with me and my music. Headphones are too claustrophobic, don't like them at all.

Yeah, its nice to have a decent stereo and the house to yourself. I like music to envelope the area i'm in, and the effect is much better than headphones.
