Still, I think I'd prefer they try to plow through them live than
resort to the kind of thing Rush used to do:  have everyone stomping
around on synth pedals trying to recreat the studio stuff so
faithfully.  Better to pare down the production to the essentials.
Even if it sounds spare, it's still Pagey's gtr playing that's doing
the talking.
