Not yet, but it does seem to be dying out.
Even the "human imperfections" are imitated on the computer now. Give it 10 years and every instrument will be precisely imitated using synthesis and physical modeling. And I do mean precisely - exactly like the real thing.
PS: I think writing is dying out also.

the sun is dying out.
legacy is a failed conglomerate. Wood is going to burn out. Lead computers are going to draw in dark matter and fluctuation in declined and unreceived radio broadcasts and alien nexus after the world is destroyed and the world will continue to pulse and bleep in a hospital fashion, with 808s blurring in inhumane density, malfunctioned and defunct with no walls to contain their roar and presence. Then in alterior dimensions, void from the constraints of endless pondering and duality, something will happen...
something will happen.
and it won't be a live show

Yeah, I don't think so either.

Live music will never die out. People will always enjoy the performing aspect of music.
Technology (midi, drum machines, computer daw, software applications, etc) and the streamlining of the music industry put the live musician on the backburner in terms of the recording studio.
I understand your point, technology (drum replacement and audio quantizing on rock records, pitch tuning on pop records, etc) aims to make music perfect.
But then again records usually aim for the most ideal perfect approximation, it's been that way since the inception of the recording studio and commercialization of the recording industry (just harder to do back then - Recording multiple takes then splicing and editing tape for the best performance).
I also believe that primitive "artificial intelligence" technology will be a factor in music within the next 20 years. It will be it's own subset and have it's own category (with virtual artists who become popular).
But this type of technology is going to be a norm in all aspects of life (medicine, advertising, interpersonal relations, warfare, etc). It's inevitable.
Back to live music. Whether it's 2009 or 2109 or the year 9, humans will always love to venture out into a crowd and listen to someone play their favorite pieces of music live, imperfections/change ups and all.
Right now as we speak, people of all ages/cultures are venturing to some gathering place to listen to good/bad/exotic/different/cover bands play music.
I wouldn't count live music out in terms of recording just yet. Right now pro level technology is available to the most casual of consumer for cheap. This level of saturation can lead to the anti-tech musical age, where live performance becomes the different and new thing.

Man, that was sinisterly poetic. I want to hear that as a narration on some PBS special about armageddon.
As far as live music...nah. Nothing beats a stage full of musicians doing their thing, improvising, re-arranging well known songs, incorporating covers into their set...theres something about the energy that a band brings that just sh*ts on any pre-recorded backing track I have ever heard.
I saw Stevie Wonder in concert last summer and it was awesome. Best concert I've been to in my short life. Saw Wyclef this summer, 2nd best easily.
Maybe some day it will start to phase out as technology continues to develop, but I'll gladly drop a couple bucks into a guitar case on a corner to hear someone rip it until that time.

I see things a little different than that , I see those technological tools make the process easier for those with insufficient talent to produce a "real" recording .
I can relate to the OP in that the big venue live acts are becoming more and more processed and manufactured (Miley Cyrus et al) .
Yet this also forms a dichotomy as the big name bands (old school) are having to tour to make money as the sales of recording plummets due to the net .
The small club scene is good though (in UK) , there are many bands making great and original music , that is far from dead
