Well, I agree in a way about the "visual stimulus" - I play sometimes with
my mixing desk audio signal feeding an oscilloscope, which screen is visible
from the audience (probab. similar to your WinAmp experience) and there are
some interesting results/feedback [strong link sound/vision]- but my remark
was more focused on the "musician" view. Still the old "rock'n roll" shadow
?? Gesture/sound : ok but sometimes it ends in a pure tech. demonstration.
To me, this "demonstration" is rather problematic in an electronics live
situation.
But that's also a matter of taste.
It is also points out the difference between "shows" and "concerts" (I don't
know if in english there is a big difference between these 2 words, but in
french, there is)...

Best,
