I don't what's stopping him doing a live show...
surely he could just bounce a bunch of tracks to loops,
load them up in something like Abelton Live and mess
around with them?
Just because it's live doesn't mean it has to sound
exactly like it did on the CD....
personally I like a mixture of both, like what afx is doing
nowadays... mixing live stuff with djing, if the purpose
is to dance your ass off (as opposed to standing completely
still stroking ones facial hair), this is probably the best
way to go...
