I am not so sure about that. If you have a following, your fans may still want
to come to a show where all you do is play your music for them from a CD or
whatever and talk about it with them. Think about an independent filmmaker
screening their new film. They may very well value your time and interaction
with them enough to pay for a concert.

case in point: steve roach, an ambient electronic musician (of prolific output) is someone who i will generally no longer go and see live, because his pieces are impossible to perform live. he ends up mostly just running a mixing desk and adding a layer from time time. even in context of st. mary's church in philadelphia, where you can lie on the floor and zone out, its really just not worth my time - i get a better experience listening to mr roach at home (in bed, or in the studio/office - ardour owes a lot to him).

however, on one occasion he did a show here in philadelphia at st. mary's where there was a Q&A session, and i absolutely went to it. it was great. i even put the "its not worth me seeing you live" perspective to him, and he was very understanding :)
