Thread Name: Should Folk Music be Recorded
Subject: RE: Should Folk Music be Recorded
Not very many, if any. Thinking of singers such as Harry Belafonte, Peter Paul and Mary, and miscellaneous others I've seen in concert after they've had recordings out, when they do a song they've recorded, it's always a tad different from the record. The song and their arrangement has evolved a bit. Sometimes quite a bit.

The only two I can think of off-hand whose live performances were almost (almost) exactly the same as their recordings are Joan Baez and Richard Dyer-Bennet.
