Often how well a band plays live dictates the course of their career: witness the Beatles and Led Zeppelin as two prime examples. The Beatles were at one point so muted by their rabid fans, the quality of play dropped to a horrendous quality; conversely, Led Zep's live sound made them the most popular rock band of the 70's.
