I'm a big fan of "Electronic Music Festivals" where the composer  
simply pushes a play button to start the playback of his perfected  
work. Usually the audience is sitting inside a circle of surround  
speakers. If someone would play instruments it might just be  
distracting in that context. The interesting aspect IMHO is to  
experience the complete design of the realized sounding work. THAT is  
what I enjoy when going to such events.

When listening to a performer, or a group, that uses no pre recorded  
material I don't regard just what I hear as the most interesting  
experience. The more interesting I may find the instant reaction  
patterns of the performers. The joy is similar to watching a dance or  
a fight. Many elements interfere and I enjoy to follow how the human  
participators navigate and coop with all kinds of situations that  
come up during the play.
