Re: prerecorded loops

[philip raath <philraath@yahoo.com>]

i've always been amazed at GARBAGE's live show for the
reasons we've been discussing. to my ear there is no
DAT, and any prerecorded loops seem to be triggered by
butch vig. i could be wrong.

but regardless of that, the amount of WORK that they
do on stage is astounding. both guitar players are
constantly jumping back and forth between guitar and
keyboard. on one song the bald guy is alternating
guitar and keyboard every 2 bars! and their
performance is always tight.

point being if you have a chance to see them, do so.
it's a great show.

cheers,

phil
