It was indeed a nice DJ set but it wasn't really live. He had some
equipment on stage but hitting the play button on your MPC and
missing and talking into the mic. isn't really a live set, isn't it?
Would you consider someone sitting/standing onstage behind, say, a laptop
and hitting certain keys in order to get the sounds out to not constitute a
"live act"? Maybe the laptop/MPC has to be understood as a newer type of
instrument which demands different sort of expectations when viewed in a
live context. Let's face it: the majority of instruments behind 313 type
music don't lend themselves to real dynamic visual displays of technique.
Remember the days of the guitar-style synth...; )
