Sorry if this has been discussed before, and grateful if anyone can point me to a thread with answers.
Does anyone have particular memories of hearing songs performed live which just fade out (e.g. on a fading repetitive pattern) in the studio recording version, and how the ending was adapted for live performance? I'm intrigued as to whether there's a general approach, and whether it leaves you thinking "why didn't you do that on the record?" or "Oh, yeah, there wasn't a good way to end that, was there, I can see why you went for fade-out".
In particular, I'm thinking of guitar "solo" fade-outs. Those are often frustrating because you just want it to go on for ever.
