Vapourspace is ok, glad to have seen him live, but Orbital made me
forget about everything else. Man, I've never been into a live
performance like that before, the music just puts me into another state.
Aphex Twin was good, but it is hardly a "performance". He just sits
behind his equipment, turns a few knobs, presses a few buttons, and
lites up a cig. Moby was hilarious. Missed Young American Primitive,
cuz my buddy couldn't find the damn place, we was driving around San
Fran. looking for the Galleria, asked about 10 people where it was, no
one knew! YAP was on first, then Vapourspace, AFX, Orbital, and finally
the little bald guy who pretends to play equipment that he pretends is
plugged in. Oh, yeah, there were dj's in between acts. My
disappointments: didn't get to meet any of the performers, music was WAY
too loud, and Moby didn't do a stage dive (I wanted so bad to see him to
a belly flop on the hardwood floor, would have been worth the $15 bucks
alone!). ORBITAL ARE GOD.
