in a strange place

I went to see Diamanda Galas the other day at the Knitting Factory, and even though she was probably having a bad night, it still sounded great.
Music is something that happens between people. Even when there's just one guy playing, you can still sense it. It's a relationship between the musicians and the audience.
Thom Yorke says that if someone in the crowd is wishing for the show to go badly, then it has an effect on the performer. And I completely believe that. It's a conversation between the artist, band and the audience.
