Old rock fans are used to this. When I first started going to concerts I was disappointed when bands didn't re-create the exact sounds I heard on the recording. Of course a live band doesn't have all the special effects, remix technology, etc. Beyond that, if you want to hear a song created exactly like the recording, just listen to the recording. I'm a big fan of the Grateful Dead. Their recordings were known to just be the beginning of the growth stage of a song. It would evolve over the years on the road, and most of us learned to enjoy the spontaneity of the live performance more than the processed, and sometimes lifeless studio product.
I'm not saying that's the case here. I just don't go to a concert expecting to hear every song to be an identical copy of a recording. That's ultimately boring.
I don’t want to hear the exact recording, but I expect that parts of the drums that they could play live, they also (at least try to) play live.
Imagine a band plays a song live and then they skip the guitar solo and just play the recording of it. That’s how I feel.
So the problem even is that I hear the exact recording. I do not want to hear the recording, I want to hear whatever they can play live but they are just skipping the hard parts of the instrument they are already playing live and relying on the recording for them. That’s indeed ultimately boring.
I don’t know, maybe I’m acting entitled.

I can't listen to the video without logging in.
Oh sorry, didn’t know that’s one of those videos! Will try to download and upload here.
Just to be clear- is the recorded portion played during the live performance, or is the drum sequence just missing?
There is a drummer that plays live, but he stops playing when it gets harder and then we only hear the recorded portion of the drums.
