And I agree it isn’t helping anything. It’s a musical disservice and doesn’t boost his cred. It weakens it, in my opinion. He shines without all that stuff.
I think the way it works with Don is that each song is governed by a click track (based on the fact that every song seems to have the same tempo from performance to performance). I think the click track itself only plays through the in-ear monitors of Don and the band, but also is the foundation of the backing tracks, which are audible to the audience. The vocal/instrumental tracks seem to be layered under the click track.
