I've actually seen some very innovative and interesting non-loop  
based performances with Live. Just one example, George Lewis has used  
it extensively in recent years, and you'd never know it. JA Deane  
also uses it for very interesting interaction with LiSA for live  
sampling - again, not your basic '4 on the floor' loop based stuff.

It all comes down to being smarter than your tools, and making them  
do what you want to do, rather than being used by them to do what  
they make easy.

Just my humble opinion...
