There's something special about the communal nature of an audience at a live performance — something that isn't analogous to music heard through headphones. It's a social event, an affirmation of community, and also, in some small way, the surrender of the isolated individual to the feeling of belonging to a larger tribe.
David ByrneHow Music Works (2012)
