Man, oh man ... dynamics are something that is sorely missing in music today. No one seems to care because by the time a song makes it to CD it usually has the life squashed out of it by the "mastering" process. Why take the time to have dynamics in a live show if it's all the same volume on the CD?
It's harder to pull off in a live setting, sure, but you're supposed to be a musician up there. I love loud music, but after a while loud isn't loud anymore unless you have something to compare it to.
