I don't know... apparently I'm missing something, but every time I see a live rap performance, it seems devoid of any atmosphere, feeling or cohesion.

Agree with that. It rarely translates well (unless you're The Roots... in which case it's ridiculously good). It's funny with that performance though... Lil' Wayne and T.I. (especially him) are considered among the best mainstream rappers in term of performance.. but it was alright. That performance was a big one for hip-hop though... those are arguably the biggest 4 acts right now within hip-hop all on one track.
Radiohead should be interesting... have they performed yet?
