Yeah, I saw the show in SF as well, and it was great! I really hadn't heard
much of his material (except a stream from betalounge from about 2-3 years

He is one of the best turntable manipulators out there right now.
I also have to say that I was equally floored by his manager (with the
braids), she was stunning!......but I digress ;)>
