There is a 1996 vinyl bootleg out of Japan with about 40 minutes from their Organic '96 appearance. I bought a copy off of eBay recently. The source of the recording is from the KROQ-FM broadcast from the event. It's fairly good quality fvll From: On Behalf Of Ramon Vink Sent: 2009-06-26 03:33 To: jerry@airstrip-one.com; orb@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Orb] my favourite Andy moment Good question.. I cannot recall i have a good sounding concert boot leg from 1995.. Maybe someone else?? I would also be interested. I also remember they played at MTV's Most Wanted (with Roy Cakes ;-) ), which i saw on tv but i haven't got a decent recording, maybe others do? Would be nice to hear it again, it was a very hectic mix.

It really was one of the best Orb tours, the gig at Roseland was fantastic. On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 12:36 PM, Tim C <timc_orb@comcast.net> wrote: Heh, yeah, I remember that (hair, desk, etc).

In those days Andy had long hair (also lx actually, well not on top though..) and i remember his 'head-bang' style while mixing behing a *huge* mixing console. Very cool dude.
