Re: moby and backing tracks


I was watching MTV yesterday (Yes, I'll admit it), and they showed a clip 
of 
Jennifer Lopez singing her song at the superbowl halftime show. She had a 
drummer, a conga player, and a keyboardist as her "backup band". I thought 
it was really weird that they were playing, but all the music was clearly 
off the CD. When they hit the bridge, whoever was at the mixer brought up 
the levels of the drums and congas, then faded them again when they got 
into 
the next chorus.

Pop musicians - they're so weird!
