Yeah, they are plugged into something stronger - it was Kenny's Green Guy.
You could see he was baked
from the back of the hall.

Its more like a bug in the bassbin.
My point with you and the other premee was that although you have the right
to your (uninformed) opinion you would have got better results by
witnessing the whole show and participating in the event they way Can's
audiences did (not from the back of the hall). Hitting the Can-type groove
with a lineup a couple dates old is not instant like playing a video game
or turning on a sampler. Obviously it was a mistake having idm content on
the Damo Suzuki/Michael Karoli tour (Mark Spybey was included because he
has the same management). An audience of nerds with Richie Hawtin hair cuts
and Sesame Street-entrained attention spans is not going to inspire these
guys.
