I think it's fair to say that I've played at some pretty spectacular
gigs over the years - and a piano has been required at most of them.
It's nearly always been a digital one. YMMV.

Of course. The difficulty of transporting a real piano has been mentioned
- and then there's the small matter of getting an output from it to feed
to the PA. In other words, exactly the reason the 'electric piano' was
invented.

For sure, but I was referring to the sort of gigs where there's
somewhere to land your helicopter behind the stage and every bit of
kit's on a rolling palett
