Re: All-Laptop live?? (was RE: RE: A poll--shoes off?)



When I saw Shakti (maybe 4years ago now????) I have to confess I was
disappointed by McLauglin's "chorus + FX fuzz" sound with no amp.  It was
limp.  He sounded so 1980's.   Logistically, I know it must be far simplier
to travel and to control on stage, but it sure didn't sound cutting edge to
me.  To my ears he would have sounded so much more compelling with a
straight guitar sound from a small Marshall 50-watt amp.
