When I saw ZZ Top on the Deguello tour, they played "Manic Mechanic", having worn my vinyl record out and knew all the songs by heart, I Knew they were using tape effects to reproduce the sound effects, especially Dusty's spoken vocals, there was no way they could do that live and reproduce the effect, so I didn't mind that at all. Only the necessary bits were used, Billy, Dusty and Frank played the majority of the song just like any other. That I find acceptable, and there was no "Chicanery" involved, we all knew what was going on and it made the song as close to the original as possible.
I have lost respect for most modern Pop artists a long time ago, not just because of the "fake" parts, but the music just is so...plastic sounding to me.
