As virtually all the concerts I attend are unamplified classical concerts (orchestral, chamber choral, organ and piano recitals) or small acoustic ensembles (folk), and playing guitar and singing in choirs myself, I'd say I know what live music sounds like. I don't know what classical concerts Roger is attending, but rarely do I see the use of sound reinforcement in a concert hall other than for Broadway shows.
Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like?

Pure, live, non-amplified, unadulterated music.
Musicians do but most layman do not.
Interesting read by Roger Skoff.
Enjoy.
