I'm going to respectfully disagree here. I saw Orbital during the NASA
tour, and any opportunity to see the Brothers Hartnoll is worth enduring,
say, Soundgarden (who I've actually seen a couple of times already). Look
on the bright side - they'll definitely have fun with it, they'll really,
really get the crowd going (how can you not groove to Orbital??), and
"our" music will find a new audience. I think it's a great idea!
When Ice Cube played an early slot on the '92 Lolla tour, the whole crowd
went nuts. Stranger things have happened.
