Oh, and put the players behind some gobos so that they have trouble hearing each other. But then it would not a very good interpretation of a live performance.

Comeon Doug...
Let's not overstate thing here. For those that are against color, that is fine. You have your own opinion and I can respect that. Let me remind everybody, however, that the recordings from yesteryear that folks have a tendency to put on a pedestal were made with decidedly colored rigs. (ie RCA Living Stereo, Mercury, the old Decca, etc...) All those tube mics, tape decks, and tube pres (or solid state with big transformers) have a very distinct sound. Uncolored, it is not...
