That should also apply in general to the number of routing devices the
link has to traverse, and general distance.  So same city would be better,
same ISP  in the same city wold probably be better still.  Best would be
same building connecting through a single building Ethernet switch.

I watched that Doobie Brothers performance originally mentioned, and I
don't think that was live.  That is one possibility if you don't mind,
have one person start a session then pass it around, everyone adds their
part.  Not as enjoyable as performing together with other people, but
probably results in a better quality performance overall.
