Shades of Coachella 2001
Only shades I should note, for they were plagued (at Coachella 01) with technical problems from the start - eitheir their ADAT machine wasn't tracking correctly, or the mixer Witchy was using lost half of its channels. Gavin Ugh!!! Coachella!!! That was the last time I got to see the Orb. What a big let down. As I remember it the set started out great and Alex even seemed to be in a good mood and he was jumping around all happy, which is unlike his usual ornery self. Then about 20-30 minutes into the set the damn cops made the promoters shut them down. WHat bullshit. Hopefully, I will be able to see them again on this tour as I really like the new album. The first time I saw them was back in'95 on the Orvs terrarum tour in Philly at the Trocedero. Anyone here on the list went to that show? It was the most surreal concert I have ever been too. -Ionman

He left the stage to abuse from the crowd when all it would have taken was an explanation. It wasn't their fault the cops pulled the plug, but if the audience had been told why, they would have left a lot happier without bad feeling for the band. At Brighton, same thing, not their fault but no explanation, everyone milling around wondering what was going on. No bad feelings though, we all had a top night. Phil.
