I like to hear variation from recorded tracks whether I hear an electronic act or a rock act playing. Its boring for me to hear the exact recorded output just played live. With a real instrument based live act you can get away with it a bit more as everything does have be be completely recreated live, but even so, I prefer to hear live reworkings of tracks. With electronic acts it is easier to play the same thing exactly as it is. For me, it is not fun to hear a perfect recreation of recorded tracks when I see a live act. That's my opinion on it.
