Looper's Delight

Many, many things. One of my favorites is to start a loop and build. Sure, I could do that with multiple people. Then I'll stop feeding the loop and begin playing over it. Still something that could be done with a band. THEN I open the loop back up and set the feedback to say 65%. I can add new stuff while the old fades until I end up with a totally different loop. That would be nearly impossible to do with a band. Sure one could get 15 guitarists to play the same phrase over and over slightly lowering their volume with each pass, but who (unless you're in Philip Glass's band) wants to do that? So other than the fading/replacing thing, there's the question of how do you get a bunch of people to play a phrase over and over and over again. While it's a great effect when all the layers are looping along together, I think most musicians want to stretch out a bit and explore... as I'm doing when I loop.
