F**ing AWESOME, if their Popmart tour back in ?'98 was anything
to go by... they did a stadium here in Cape Town and medical staff
were passing cups of water over the heads of the crowd to people
jammed in the audience, while passed-out people were literally
heaved out into fresh air. (And there were quite a number who
fainted in my immediate radius. There was, quite frankly, a
shortage of oxygen (and this was outdoors).
Their stage set was huuuuge, racks of amps / speakers on either
side of the stage reaching up into the stratosphere, their mixing
desk was the size of a rugby field. I forget the details now, but at
the time it was published how many private jets as well as truck-
loads it had taken to transport all the gear. It's mind boggling.
Umm, this is not IDM, is it? This is not just one guy with a laptop!
