Hi
What a lot of people think is that a keyboard player with the likes of a Genos is not playing everything and think that it is cheating.
All instrumentalists in a band just play a single a instrument and they are considered geniuses.
As Eileen says , we only have one pair of hands.
If you think of the USA band Boston. it only consists of Tom Shultz.
He plays every instrument and sings also, so he has to hire a band to play with him on stage
The Third Stage album is incredible and it took him a few years to make that album.
You can make your own backing tracks and that will only enhance your performance.
The funny thing that i read once was that Tangerine Dream the electronic band had all of their performances midied up.
If one of the players was feeling a little under the weather he would mute the tracks and play pretend with a big smile on his face..
Most bands today and the past used backing tracks onstage even Pink Floyd tribute bands. Time to go!!, time to Goho!!!!!
All the Best
John
