The BIG difference WAS the sweat.

When they were doing a live bounce on a Beatles 4 track song, the engineer and the performers HAD to BOTH get it right at the same time unless they wanted to be very embarrassed.

Technology has taken that kind of pressure to perform off. This in turn changed both the amount and the type of performance ability required.
