"A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert. An album is an album is an album is an album. Musically, both have nothing in common"

This quote by Klaus Schulze is a tip that a show as well as a cd are two extremely different experiences. A concert is a live performance, where the audience exists and also the songs is experienced in real time. An album is a collection of recordings, which can be listened to at any time as well as in any order. Musically, both have absolutely nothing in common. A concert is an unique experience, with the music being done in the minute and the audience reacting to it. An album is a much more fixed experience, with the music being listened to in the same way each time. The quote is a reminder that although both experiences involve songs, they are fundamentally various. Shows as well as cds are both fundamental parts of the music industry, and also both must be valued for their own special high qualities.
