Happy Anniversary, everyone! I joined 4 years ago today myself, and still glad to be here. I may be a greedy and power-hungry king, but I still find myself welcome every time I come to a meeting, and am very grateful for that Now we have split our focus on several games instead of one, but are still going strong, and I'm sure that we'll survive for many more years. After all, Tolkien still binds us, even after all the many games we've gone through, and I hope it always will. *raises a glass of expensive Numenorean wine and cheers*

That could very well be true (I don't have much concert experience), and I admit listening to studio-versions and seeing them live both have their benefits.
Still, IMO, an audio-recording of a live performance published on cd loses the benefits of both, having neither the pure quality and audibility of a studio-version nor the mood and livyness (why not) of actually being present at the performance.

I generally don't like "Live" albums because the songs on them are typically worse than the studio version for one reason or another, mostly because some singers have this weird idea that the audience should be singing instead. Oh, I know what you mean... some of my favorite songs I first got in live version, and didn't like them much, and was much happier with studio-versions. Besides making the audience sing, and addressing the audience during the song, and the inclusion of applauding all the time, it's always so different from studio-versions... they speed up the singing and slow down the singing and there are always pieces of the melody missing. I understand that not all performances can be perfect, but I don't understand why people would think that those live versions would be better. That's probably one of the reasons I never go to concerts. It just doesn't beat listening to the songs from the comfy chair behind my pc

My taste branches out in several directions (though I have a thorough dislike for R&B/Soul/Rap), but Soft Pop, approaching Rock, would be my main interest. Especially alternative pop/rock like Coldplay, Keane, Enya, Dido, and comparable.

I love Braveheart! I have seen it several times, and every time it's on tv I watch it again. A bit unusual though, the girl gets killed in the first non-prologue battle of the movie. But hey, if it's really based on history, guess you can't change that. Great battles, and of course there is blood and stuff... it's a history-based action-war movie. No better excuse to add a little gross detail, is there? And I probably liked best the moment where the King is dying, and the last thing he hears is.... FREEEEDOOOOM (or something like that). Don't get me on details, please, it's been a while since I saw it last.
