On further reflection, I certainly don't have an issue with a performer
triggering prerecorded samples or clips as an instrument, but having static
"backing tracks" is less fun for me. If there are active backing tracks -
ones that respond in some way to what's being played - that makes it a 
whole
different ball of wax for me (but of course, that's rather rare).
