Appropriate use of canned material in concert was RE: Fear of"canned" loops

Hi

Many years ago (20 or so), I did visuals for an early electro improv 
band in Boston (Mono Vogue -- I doubt you have heard of it)

One night, the leader was the only one there at the start of the set. 
Undaunted, he started a cheesey drum machine lick (in those days, 
that was the only flavor), started a recording of an  incredibly dry 
lecture on industrial engineering, and played keyboard over that.

This still strikes me as the most appropriate use of precanned 
material in live music performance that I have encountered.
