A significant element in my film work was allowing chance to play a part. Happy accidents are important! There definitely is such a thing as being TOO much in control.
I recall hearing an interview once with a veteran sound engineer who's method was to find just the right acoustic space, put the band strategically around a single microphone hooked into a wide-tape analog recorder, and just let things happen. I love the elegance of it... allowing the band to simply play, and grab that live dynamic without a lot of messing around.
