Hi, Well for me there are a few good memories. Firstly quite a few years ago when i saw The Orb at The Event In Brighton and The Pyrimid Center In Portsmouth the tours were somewhere between The first album and UF Orb.At that time there wasnt a better live experence. They played for ages the halls were packed and the vibe was really strong. Moving into later years the band had moved on experementing with different sounds and also a change of line up.They were still great. Also in the early years it seemed that many of me mates couldnt get into them.I think they felt the sounds were to weird...i thought it was amazing they thought me head was fucked.... Nowadays with the internet and Orb lists etc met a few more people and going to see the Orb is a total top day out. I will always look forward to the gigs and also a good chance to meet a few faces. As for the later shows I thought the Bad Orb Allnighter was excellent. They played 2 good sets the first one i will always remember just watching Steve Hillage playing along..just how it was in the begining still a great guitarist . Also the Dub Room was just brilliant< Loud Roots Music that was really good and when The Orb came back on for the last hour or so ther were a couple of new tunes and a really good version of Toxygene with Emminm samples banging through it....Oh for a live recording of the whole show..They will always be great memories..,on a lighter note ill never forget Nicks face when he ordered 3 Red Bulls and the geezer said that'ill be nine quid ........Fantastic Regards Mark W.
