Spot on , he was the best and the cheesiest ! I'd never seen him enjoy himself playing live as much as this. I thought the crowd reaction was funny too. Near the front, half the people were going nuts and the rest just standing there gob smacked. I spent a lot of time in the Wall Of Sound/Skint tent 'coz I wanted to see BRA. Before they came on there was a great old skool electo/funk DJ set by The Wiseguys then a great live set by Dirty Beatniks. Fat Boy Slim rocked the crowd (by now it was hot and heaving) then Bentley Rhythm Ace. Caught a bit of the Chems but I wasn't quite in the mood so I moved on to catch a bit of FSOL and the Orb too.
