Know what the difference between playing in your bedroom and on a stage is? An audience.
That implies an offering of something that has taken years to develop for the benefit of those who have gathered to listen. One allows them self to be stripped bare vulnerable when they get up on that stage. There is no running away or making excuses.
So in exchange, there is an unspoken agreement to show gratitude and decorum when one has the PRIVILEGE of hearing live music.
When you trash a live performance you implicit trash all musicians and all performances because you fail to respect the vulnerability that is, in part, for your benefit.

There you go, I'd be embarrassed for them if they weren't embarrassed themselves.
Mind you "failure" these days is now described as "deferred success."
We're in the "it'll do, era."
