If you caught an advertised live act faking it on video camera?

I feel you though. I know you put a lot of work into doing an actual live show and while you may not be the type that wants to expose a fraud, it really has to eat at you to see something like that.

x2 -- clearly no respect for what they're doing, out them if you have the evidence !

Spill it, at least tell who the act is.
where was the sound coming from? a cd?

i remember someone else on here a few years ago (2004 maybe) that got their balls busted for doing the same thing pretty much...
who was that and what became of him?

I am in Oz, I know a certain "massive name" act is going to be here very soon, I have heard rumours they use ableton. Could they have stopped off in NZ on the way through???

maybe they should be less respected?
I'm sure I don't.

here is a picture of one of them pumping his fist, with all the faders down on his mixer.

Track 5 is the main external input coming from his discman.

Uhh, who knows what prt of the set that fist-pumping guy's photo was taken from. Is it conceivable that it was the end of his set where he could have faded out/ended and was acknowleging the crowd? Just saying, is all. That photo doesn't really prove anything.
However, Tom, I would put the video on Youtube and let the viewing public be the judge. No-one's going to shoot the messenger.
I remember railing in this forum about a sharing the stage with a blatant faker, and it seemed you felt I was over-reacting a bit. I say: just put the video out there.

P.S. *thinks* - who was playing in Christchurch lst night...?
P.P.S. Perhaps a prosecution under the Consumer Guarantees Act???

Maybe the artist was actually playing off CDJs for that song, that would be rather normal. They don't have to use Ableton 100% of the time.
In saying that though, youtube link or stfu!
