This might be interesting. Does your band use tracks? If in multiple bands, answer for your most frequent band, or average gigs per month/year.
No, and I don't like using click tracks or backing tracks on a gig. It's too rigid and gradual tempo changes based on feeling does not work... sometimes a jam section or rhythm goes on as long as it needs to while the singer works the crowd or improvising solos, etc.

I'm playing a show, not covering our studio demo.
