6Music are currently playing a live Hot Chip tune from Latitude or some festival
Live versions of songs are pretty crap at the best of times, but with electro, it's even more pointless than usual.
For music that relies on production more than anything else, on a perfectionism and attention to detail on levels - it just doesn't translate to a live recording. I'm sure the gig was fun for the people there. But playing it afterwards is completely pointless.
On that note, I can't actually think of any live versions being better than recorded ones for any song. I've never even heard the recorded 'No Woman No Cry' so I can guess it's inferior.
Are there any at all?
