I don't know, I don't think I'm listening to a lot of "genius music" and the things I like most are usually not played by some guy on the street. (Metal and EBM, or electronic). Also in my experience the correlation between "likes music" and "likes to go to concerts" for people is not direct. One more point, I'm one of those people who are not heavily into improv, so if the band is performing a version of a song I like that is very different from the album version there's a good chance I might dislike it. I'm not proud of that and of course they're free to do what they wnat with their music, but I like "a live version of the song" and not "a live reinterpretation with everything different", maybe that's also why I dislike jazz.

  Ambience? Group identity? There are vocaloid concerts, and I would not expect the live to diverge from the recording, so people don’t attend for different takes on the song they know.
