I'm not so sure I agree with this approach. I think the visuals are as
important to a presentation as rehearsals, having set lists, and
developing patter between numbers. Live music is special, and I feel it
needs to be presented in a special way to make it memorable. Why do
people play music in the first place? To be special, no?
