Before MIDI? I didn't think there was even electricity before MIDI came around! I have played in a venue where the electricity was supplied by a generator driven by a tractor as the mains power hadn’t reached the area yet. Well into the night down went the electricity and a voice called out “didn’t you fill the bloody thing up like I told yer”. A reply of “sorry dad”. I can also recall our band sitting on tables with acoustic instruments during a blackout. When I first started we used sing into Crystal mics plugged into a guitar amp. When we got a PA and diaphragm mics we thought we were made. Yep times have changed. Tony I know what you mean re" PA's vs Amps. LOL, back in the days even the horn players would carry his own small amp to the gigs, PA,s and God forbid a mixing board were never heard of. I have more technology for a single act as we did for six pieces including 2-3 horns. Later,

Here's a photo of my pedal set-up:  As I mentioned, the looper then gets plugged directly into my Bose L1. I use the FS3X to scroll through my songs (80+-). Each tune has a number on my set list that corresponds to each track on the looper. As a guitar player, I'm able to move from song to song "hands free". I can even scroll ahead to another song that will start immediately after the one I'm playing. It works for me. As this threads seems to indicate there really are a lot of good ways to create your "invisible" band.

Before MIDI, you actually needed live musicians to play all the parts.
Before MIDI the organ player lugged a 400+ pound Hammond B-3 to the gig, and we all had to help schlep it.
Before MIDI if you had a piano player, he/she played the house piano, and it was never-ever in tune.
There was life before MIDI, it was just different.
