Nope, do you want me to list what pants Surgeon wears when he plays at
Dust? After all if they are to tight the could make a difference. It's
just to anal and dull. If you go and see Richie and don't expect
minimal, I'd be wondering which rock you've be under.
Do you read all the ingredients on the food you buy?
It's the mentality that is wrong and more and more artist refuse to
have Live put at the side for any gig because it's impossible to define
and all the "techno bores" just love to jump down the promoters throat.
Having the same kit or records won't make you into a Claude Young or
Surgeon, I don't see why the focus has shifted, bands don't list all
the kit they play on...why should we be any different?
It's not the way it is, 99.9% of people don't care, they just came to
enjoy themselves not worry about which plug-in/needle/decks/pants where
used.

How can you know what to expect when you see the name of a performer
on a flyer?
For example if you see "Richie Hawtin" maybe you will expect what
Ja'Maul the Troll described. But if you see "Richie Hawtin LIVE" then
what can you expect?
Do performers need to start listing what gear they will be performing
with?
Jeff Mills w/ 909, Abelton, and Slide Whistle.
I know *I* certainly wouldn't want to go to a Hawtin show with the
same minimal sample for 15 to 20 minutes, but I would go if it was the
Blue Machine and cycloops and the other junk...
I also think anyone who wants to discuss if this is "right" or "wrong"
should be shot. It's the way it is, and at least let's try and
develop an understanding of what's happening.
