Exactly.

I'll post a link below to the hottest 'trio' playing along the Grand Strand of SC. This is the band the other bands come to watch.

Wow, that's awesome Charlie! I see that as a good example of effective use of trax to give talented performers a much fuller sound. There's only so much that a spectator can process anyway... with 3 people to watch and that wall of sound, I doubt the average audience member will ever come away disappointed or under stimulated. Remember, we're talking about the same audiences that are OK with a DJ.

It works for the band.
It works for the venue.
It works for the audience.

Whats left to criticize, except based on personal preference?

Comparing this to an act in which somebody lip synchs and pretends to play along ... well, it's not a fair comparison. The lip synch scenario should be judged separately. THIS (the linked video) is the perfect marriage of technology and the arts in my opinion.
