    So did KISS in the 80s.

    Who cares I’ve stopped going to the big arena shows of all bands including the Mighty PJ , now I look for the smaller unknown bands that play small clubs fuck the big productions ..

    This is old news.
    They have been using backing tracks, click tracks, loops,  and under stage musicians for a long time.
    But so have other bands.
    In the 80s they were a real rock-n-roll band but then over time the need for perfectionism took precedent.
    No more surprises 
    No more danger
    No more excitement 
    No more fun

    Bravo, Jose!  I totally love this. 

    Some of the best music in the world happens in smaller clubs with bands and musicians who are not mega-stars   (and no offense to PJ because they are truly a great band).  Some of the most memorable shows I've been to happened in small clubs seeing incredible musicians like Harvey Mandel, David Lindley, John Handy, The Bongos, Cecil Taylor, Steve Lacy, Herb Ellis, Larry Coryell, and on and on.

    yeah these days i'm only interested in bands that are willing to take chances with their live act , the last two shows i've seen have been in small bars here in NY and it felt so good to be up close and personal with the band and yes PJ are still a great band ...
