not to get into semantics but..... though I know what you're getting at about sequencers, I must disagree. I am working on live shows relying very heavily on sequencing, but starting off with a blank screen, and playing in every note. This to me is as live as a one man show can get, other than those cats who wear the drum on their back while playing harmonica and guitar and singing. It also allows you to adapt your music in a real time way, rather than just tweak knobs to a pre written tune, while still retaining elements of the tracks they know and love.
