With Mariah Carey's monumental failure to be a true performer at the new year's eve bash ringing in 2017, I thought I'd show how a band should perform live on television. In spite of obvious issues with the sound man, this band knew how to deliver. The lead guitarist playing the marimba and bongos, the drummer playing the orchestra bells and bongos, and the classical keyboardist playing the accordion, they deliver a perfect performance. Yes, good bands can play live when they want to.
The Who did it at the 9/11 concert for New York, who in a few weeks put on a stellar show with virtually no preparation. Now we are losing artists who can just go on any stage and deliver. As I write this, I can think of only a handful of superstar artists who can do this sort of thing, like the Foo Fighters or perhaps U2. All these new bands rely on everyone else to make them look good, and when those responsible for their success make mistakes or have issues, these new stars just turn into puddles of useless waste.
