I have seen him play as Wishmountain, and it was an interesting 
experience to say the least. Again he came on in a suit, but it was quite 
ovious, and I dont think he was hiding the fact that he was using some 
form of backing tape. He just came on and played his 'props' over the 
tunes. 

His props included toothbrushs, combs, radio, Kitchen tools, but the best 
being him playing a toaster, then making toast and using it as an 
instrument after cooking. 

As AndrewC said if I had the chance to see him again then I would take 
it, but having said that I have been a bit disapointed with Matt Herberts 
output of late. 

By the way this was at the Big Chill Gala back in 1996.
