Live Performances with Logic...or not

I use my iBook for live performance and I find it to
be the most reliable way I have ever done it.
Although I do not use Logic for live nor do I use
VI's only outboard midi. I think it is more
reliable
And if something goes amiss.... it happens. It's no
different from breaking a string, or breaking a snare
drum head, etc....
well that is true in some cases, for example a 4
piece band with bass, drums guitar & keys that is
using the backing tracks just to add a few parts
won't suffer much if the computer froze up. but what
about the band that is using it for most of the
music, and the keyboard player is playing the VI's
with his controller. if the computer glitches, there
goes 90% of your music, Time to clap your hands,
stomp your feet and break into "We will rock you"
while the computer reboots.
Keane have apparently a couple of PBs behind stage
playing what just the three of them can't play. Quite
interestingly, it's all synced by a wireless
keyboard... Someone presses space which starts both
laptops, one for metronome and the other for sounds.
Quite an interesting idea I think!
