The example I always give is about 6 years ago I was watching a covers band and the very competent guitarist do 'For the love of god'.
When it got to the most difficult bit of the solo and guy ducked it somewhat I found myself turning and saying 'hah I fucking knew he couldn't do that bit.'
At that point I realised my frustration at not playing had turned me into a dickhead. Also when you don't play live for a while you completely forget all the realities of live performance, onstage sound issues, distractions, how much more difficult it is to do the bedroom guitarist thing live - to perform.
Since then I got a band back together released music played gigs and I find myself almost always applauding and taking something from any live performance.
I like to think that if ELVIS ever got off his ass he might sort himself out too.
