>> The manner in which the basic tracks on their studio albums turned into their legendary group improvisations are relatively analogous to the role that the Written Torah and the Oral Torah have played in the evolution and perpetuation of Jewish law and wisdom.

I have to say I'm not a huge fan of that style of improvisation because musically, it is unimpressive to me.

Great music requires a ton of rehearsal and some consistency in the performance. That wasn't their thing, of course. But I far more appreciation for music performed perfectly.

Don Henley once commented that to play music at their level you have to have a "high tolerance for boredom." That's been my experience; in my music-playing days, it was difficult for me to stick with a piece until it was perfect because it would get terribly boring. I could never have been a really good musician because I couldn't tolerate it. Of course, there are a ton of people just like that playing music; people who like playing but don't care for perfection.
