Bands Improvising Live Options

[Gabriel Leopardi]

Hey guys! I saw the Foo Fighters live yesterday and they blown my mind. Once thing that I noted is that they use to improvise a lot in their concerts. Maybe you will note that those sections aren't 100% tight but that makes their concerts sound always fresh.

Do you like bands that improvise live or you prefer when everything is 100% rehearsed and sounds tight and perfect? What examples of bands can you give us?

Great question! A band can really add to the live experience by building up or bringing down a tune with a bit of a jam thrown in. But It always works best when it's being lead by a band member who can really gauge the audience. If the audience is not feeling it, cut it. If they are digging it, tell em a story. If it is used to make the gig better of course it's awesome If it's used to let the band not get bored, then it usually feels indulgent.

I saw Megadeth and they played with the peach sells intro a bit and it was cool. But as soon as the crowd started to get antzy they busted in to the song. Which worked well.
