easy question: what is live PA, need to know

I'm not a dj and its not something that seems to be obvious for me...what does live PA mean?

Live PA, I believe, is a live performance of music. Not DJing, but actually playing the songs on keyboards, drum machines, sequencers, etc.

well, on live PA, i dont think they play the whole song, cuz that might be kinda hard

It depends because ppl like BT have the beat going and then play the main synths and then mixes via records, I think. If this makes no sense at all, listen to his set from Electronic Beats because it's live but it's mixed at the same time.

live PA is when they play their tracks live, if theyre good enuf to do that, or can be bothered! eg. rank1. it stands for Personal Apperience which seems wierd coz DJs personnallyapear but when they do PA the personally appear the play the track using their keyboards etc. quite impressive coz often theres slight variatiosn on the performences to the original tracks produced!
