[kj] It's a Boxing Day miracle!

[Alexander Smith]

I think even the most celebrated live albums out there have  
overdubbing. It's a bit like believing in Santa Claus. If you want to  
dispel your inherent cynicism and buy into to the theory that x-band  
really sounds that dynamic in the live setting, it's there for you to  
believe. But even if the finished product involves some sneaky  
"finishing touches" applied in a studio -- does that make the document  
any less nice to listen to? (i.e. even when you find out Santa doesn't  
exist, that doesn't mean you stop getting presents).
