Too many boring live shows is indeed a rampant problem.
I think the sound is different between a live band and a DJ. there is more variation. For example, When I saw the Roots on their last tour, the music pulses, and the beats and the melodies are crisp and loud and jumpin'. It is a very different sound-feel from a rapper/DJ combo. Whether it was Ice Cube, De La Soul, Digable Planets, Master P, whoever, the music behind the rapper just lacks some OOMPH. Many times it is hard to discern the music's melodies.
Mouse on Mars puts on an entertaining show, I cannot fault him for that, but after the 3rd or 4th song it all starts to bleed in my ear. Give me a real life drummer anyday.
