What is missing with all these gadgets is the visual effect and impact of a performing musician/entertainer. The audience can see you playing a guitar, keyboard, piano, synth, etc... They know it is YOU creating that music - LIVE! With the advanced record player/karaoke machine there is a significant part of the entertainment missing. This ain't rocket science. Those visual effects are a big draw - no question about it, despite what Donny predicts.
