In gigging for several years with BIAB, I’ve never had a negative comment about its use in live play. However, last week on a gig with my trio (sax, guitar, and vocalist), a man walked by the stage, glanced at the screen and said out loud, “Hey, that’s cheating.” He was smiling, so I guess it was OK. Between songs, I explained to him that we try to exploit the use of technology and, furthermore, didn’t have the space nor resources to hire a full rhythm section. He walked away saying, “Well, you guys sound pretty good anyway.” Makes you wonder what patrons are thinking when they hear BIAB live.
