It's a cool idea though. I wasn't there, but done subtly and possibly with
gauze (or something else more permeable than plexiglass) it could be
extremely funky, and would also stop disgruntled IDM fans bottling the acts.
It might even reduce the number of 'I went to see X, and it was just them
standing there pressing play on Cubase and nothing much to look at' threads
that crop up.
