in terms of process you are comparing apples and oranges- there is nothing inviting or natural or at home to the blaring of springsteens style. I don't think I ever heard Pete Seeger come across so loud-so over powering so in your face. So performance! I just heard Jacobs Ladder- yes sound technicians can do almost anything from a farmhouse room but it sounded like a 100 piece gospel choir and 50 musicians- nothing like the nurturing sound of an even high energy seeger performance. We need both but the music really does need to get infused with the lifeway not just with a stage and a cd.
