I'm definitely going to the Worcester show (got tickets today) because I live in Worcester. I know there are Boston guys on here, so if you want to meet before or after the show, my apartment is 5 minutes from the Palladium, and I know places to meet, etc. I'm considering going to the NYC show as well, because it will be in a much better venue and it would be a sweet experience.

Their live show this year is amazing! Definitely the best live act in the world, but of course you already know that. They make you feel like you are not even on earth with their audio/visual overload. I'm still in total shock and all I can do is smile. Their songs off the altogether sound so fresh. The songs that i thought were kind of weak on the cd were amazing live and i can't help but love them now. I'm so glad that i finally got to see them again. Orbital has a really killer show this year........get to the show at all costs!:) peace. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2001 10:47:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Pseudonaut Subject: Re: (orbital) Anyone going to the Worcester or NYC shows? due to a sudden addendum of plans i will now be going to the NYC show in addition to the chicago show :) happy brandon well, there's about a 90% chance that i'll be at the new york show, so if you're going, tell me so we can arrange a meetup or whatever. i already told loopz to meet me by the bar (despite the fact that i can only look at the beer and not drink it) right brandon invergo > > --- Marc Emile Sawaya wrote: > > > I'm considering going to the NYC show as well, > > > because it will be in a > > > much better venue and it would be a sweet > > > experience. > > > > > > Marc __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My ears are still ringing, and I think they will be for quite some time. The show was held at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney, which ended out working great - no cash for parking, no worries about safety or my car getting stolen... Just had to put up with Disney crap everywhere on the way in. ;p The venue was excellent, great lighting system and sound system, but it seems that Orbital packed their own... Their stage setup was rather minimal, alot less gear than I had expected. Just a few stacks of midi-controlled gear and a one octave keyboard on the sides, and what looked like a large midi-controller board or mixing board. Phil kept changing out cardboard "sticks" every song which I'm guessing identified individual track names/numbers for each track. He'd pick some up off the side and lay 'em down on the board up front board somewhere half out of sight, replacing the ones that were on there from the next track. Paul (in the back on the right, ostensibly tweaking the gear) seemed to have very little to do while Phil pressed the occasional button on the main board and played with the stuff on the left side. Not an altogether exciting stage presence, but the rest of the stage was set up magnificently with some very interesting background video projected onto moving cardboard-ish cutout things with small spherical bumps on em. Quite cool in practice. :) I can't remember the entire set list... They opened with the Doctor Who Theme along with Funny Break after that. I remember hearing The Girl With The Sun In Her Head quite vividly - I had fallen asleep to that song the last time I slept sometime on Thursday. ;) Also heard Tootled, a highly rearranged Illuminate, Satan was a crowd favorite, and after disliking the album version for years I can safely say that the live version was fookin wicked. Their last song before the amazing encore was Impact. The encore started with a different Doctor Who mix and ended with a long, drawn out version of Chime. The most enjoyable stuff for me was the experimental beats they played with between tracks and even during tracks. Just about every track had some severe improv thrown on, even if it was just channel mixing. It sounded amazing to me as someone that's heard most of the tracks thousands and thousands of times the same damn way... It was a good crowd, but I wasn't dancing. I ended up sitting upstairs watching the show from the top tier of the balcony. Dead center. Got to watch both the dance floor and P&P - was really cool. Hell, just getting to see P&P was really, really cool. Obligitory "oh, if you were there statement": I was the kid in the dirtyshirt that didn't talk or dance, just sat there in awe lookin goofy. If you saw me, good for you. ;) BTW, smuggled my Pentax K1000 in there and tried about 5 long exposure shots, if they worked out you'll see 'em pop up somewhere on kalie.net ... Anyway, it was an experience I'll take with me for the rest of my life... I've never seen anything like that, the volume and energy were cranked up to 11, and the crowd *loved* it - even if the brothers weren't in their best form (a few of the new tracks didn't go over 100% well, like Oi!) Now I need some sleep.... I almost fell asleep on the drive out there, so now that i'm back and the adrenaline's wearing off i'm about to collapse. If any dirts were there it's too bad we didn't get to chat, but I did run into a few random Underworld fans... ;) - -Kalie Ma # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------ End of orbital-digest V2 #446 *****************************
