BUT
If you look at Maslows needs hierarchy system, it's indeed luxury.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%...archy_of_needs

Music is found in virtually every demographic, every populated region of earth. People who don't necessarily have their basic needs met still have music.
Music, IMO, ought to be considered a necessity. |

Shelter, well we are all lucky to live in a society where we can have a roof over our heads, though I still wouldn't call shelter a luxury. I dont understand how music is related to having a home, water and food. So I guess that answers your question.

Live music in performance - to most people, absolutely yes.
