If the live act (that was on after the Orb, for those who were there) that I'm thinking of is STC, then you really shouldn't feel so bad that you missed them. There were moments when the music gelled and was very effective, but there were also vast spans of time between those moments when it seemed nothing was going on - at least, nothing that interested me. It could've just been that after the Orb, nothing would've impressed me, and I'm not saying they didn't show quite a bit of potential, but IMO, when you're playing a dance show (as distinguished from what the Orb did, most of which wasn't danceable), there shouldn't be intervals of several minutes where the people on the floor are looking around at each other, not dancing, wondering what's happened to the music. They should either eliminate the parts of their live show that aren't danceable or work on them to make them worth the audience's time.
