I've done both recording and live performances, and by far, I prefer live.

In the 'old days' when the band recorded all the parts together it wasn't as much fun as playing life, but much more fun than today. Nowadays I get called in to lay a sax part on a rhythm track that has already been finished and a scratch vocal track. I miss the interactions with the other musicians (including the singer).

The bliss of performing to me is playing live and having that party with the audience.

I tell the people who hire us, "We work for free, and charge you money to schlep the gear around and to pay for the
instruments."
