[Dancecult-l] liveness

[Eliot Bates]

About 4 years ago I noticed the sudden inclusion of live music acts during
the outdoor rave parties in northern California. I'm not talking drum
circles, but professional performing bands of all kinds (world, funk, jam,
experimental, live drum 'n' bass, etc.) In San Francisco, live drum 'n'
bass is quite popular these days, though it's not really necessarily so
much of a dance music form when done live.

That said, 2 of those parties I referenced above no longer have live
music. I guess the fashion has/is already passing, at least in northern
CA?
