there's probably a difference between doing maybe a handful of live shows spontaneously, and having a career that's filled with live shows and tours. having a "record" (a whatever physical release) is kind of irrelevant cause anyone can put anything on anything, live shows and tours are more complicated and some people just don't do it, and it's a yet more bizarre way to measure "legitimacy" cause again, so much music and so many artists just don't do that.
