Unfortunately, I have to totally disagree. FC's live set was about the worst stuff I've heard him put out. I mean, there was hardly anything other than a four-on-the-floor beat the entire time, with hardly any variation whatsoever. The NYC crowd applauded, amazingly enough, because all I saw and heard around me were grunts and groans about how much longer is this going to take, etc... I was majorly disappointed... have to go back and listen to the albums I guess to regain my faith. -- jr
