It's funny how just a few generations ago, recordings were just a way of recreating a live event, but now most people expect the live event to recreate the recording. Ever since i got into jazz and improv I started to find most rock concerts quite boring because of their lack of immediacy and spontaneity. Yet a good DJ's set can be much more exciting and immediate, prerecorded music and all. But bands playing to backing tracks seem to be in the middle where you don't get the best from either world. I think it has to do with the amount of risk involved, rathert than something being pre-recorded or not. A DJ could still mess up by missing a beat, or maybe choosing the wrong song to mix into. But the only risk moby is taking is that the DAT will blow up...and he probably has backups anyways. I've always wondered what guys like Aphex Twin and Amon Tobin do live...do they basically just bring their laptop and press play, or is there something more interactive going on?
