If yr looking from the US tour, La Luna, Portland 6/19/95 is the best. St Andrews Hall 6/10/95 would be the second. There are a few other ones like Orbeon, Cleveland 6/2/95 and Masquerade, Atlanta 5/28/95 but the sound quality is lacking on those 2 and they're incomplete. From Europe, I'd say Bristol New trinity 4/18/95 FM broadcast 66 min is great. John Radcliff 7/12/95 FM is another good one & is about 40 mins.

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

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.

Has anyone ever seen a decent boot from 1995? It really was one of the best Orb tours, the gig at Roseland was fantastic.

Unfortunately i also never met Andy personally, but i clearly recall his appearance at the show they performed in Utrecht/Netherlands in 1995 (happy happy joy joy). 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.

I'm with Tim. Orbscure Trax will take me to work tomorrow.
I have been on this list since only 2006. Catching up to The Orb in Winnipeg means I have no "when I met Andy" stories. Very, very sad news. Thank you all who were much closer to him for posting.
Dave.

Good stories, thanks. Terrible news indeed....
Was wondering, can someone with more info than me (scant other than what's on Orb wikipedia page) expand the stub on Andy at wikipedia?
Looks like Orbscure Trax gets the nod for this evening's listening....

I was thinking of that day too, and the car trouble we had

I've also been thinking
how lucky I was to hang out in the
studio around the early Cydonia sessions, thanks to Andy...
...hearing 'A Mile Long Lump of Lard' the day it was first recorded - "have a listen to what we did today" - and sitting with Alex, Thomas Felhmann and Andy while the vocals for 'once more' were being recorded are two occasions that spring to mind...

...but especially heading to the local pub with Andy for a few beers each time.
I also remember Andy for always sorting out guestlist tickets for fans he meet through this list - he sorted after-show
party passes for JC, myself and mrs smiley at the Albert Hall
>U.F.OFF show, for example...
...and, even
though we were about the only unknowns in the
room (Jimi Cauty, Irvine Welsh and Annie Nightingale were our nearest companions), we were the first people Andy came to talk to, after his family.
That's the kind of bloke he was, and even though I had lost touch with him recently, I'll truly miss him.
Rest in Peace, Andy.

Years later I finally made it over to London, and I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I had a number of Orb-related activities planned. I spent one day at Smiley's house, playing records and hanging out in his lovely garden. Then we were headed back into town for an Orb show (sans Andy - this was while they were on the outs) and to meet up with some of the other listees.
We planned to have an early drink with Andy but it was a

Suffice to say, we were pretty late. When we (finally) pulled up, Andy shot us this massive grin -
he looked genuinely happy in that one moment. (And he then sent the boys to park the car while he & I went inside and
