New subject: my favourite Andy moment

23 Jun 2009

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.

Heh, yeah, I 
remember that (hair, desk, etc).  IIRC LX came on stage in some kind of

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.
