I use my Shure Wirless when i play larger gigs. It's the freedom of being able to move around sometimes when for instance playing the Electric Slide and joining in with the crowd. They seem to appriciate the "hands on " approach. The quality sometime may not be the same as a wired, but to most ears they don't know the difference. Kina tough on nine volt batteries, so i bought four rechargables to cut the cost. Bob
