An affliction that I have noticed with a lot of really good musicians, is that for some reason while performing, they stop listening... they get distracted or worse... bored. This is when the song really suffers. The communication between the musicians as an ensemble needs to ebb and flow symbiotically... this is what brings that distinctive human element to the music, which is sorely lacking in a lot of today's music. Listening is a key factor that will give the music life, or just let it lay there limp and tired.
