    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
    Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

    To be honest I didn't really understand the scale so I played it safe.

    Using samples isn't cheating.

    Using other people's songs is.

    But cheating is OK anyway.

    10cc used backing tracks live all the time, you couldn't do something like the Original Soundtrack live as a 4 piece without it. They used to have a big simulated reel-to-reel at the back of the stage and the reels would start to turn when there was a "supplement" playing,  As long as you don't conceal it, nothing wrong with it.  As Danny1969 suggests, whether you can pull it off is an entirely different question................

    Surely pulling it off onstage is likely to alienate at least part of your audience?
