i'm sitting around at work watching videos of live performances by artists that i'll probably never get a chance to see. so many of my favorite artists just don't tour any more or rarely, if ever, tour the states.
i've also noticed a lot of performances that were extremely ...un-live for lack of a better term. ie: bobbing their head to a dat or something.
which got me thinking that it's been some time since i saw a really good live performance of electronic music. jamie lidell + four tet was a good one. | |

the best live performance i ever saw was squarepusher at glastonbury '99
there was another dude with him (his brother ceephax i guess)
they had fuckloads of machines and they just switched,turned,tweaked,pressed,pushed everything they possibly could as fast as they could for the whole set
totally mental
like mutant acid jungle
really incredible

autechre @ aberdeen pelican club. tri-repetae tour, 1995.
incredible, heavy set. massive distorted beats with rolls that would slice your head clean off. the club was shoulder-to-shoulder packed and sweat dripping from the roof. proper. saw them on the last couple tours, they were boring in comparison to that '95 gig.

I saw Ae at The Square in Harlow about 95 during their "toilet tour" that was how KidQ described above. Dark room, heavy beats and loads of sweat. Nothing to see - just intense sound.
Chrome Hoof @ ATP last december were fairly wow. They had a really good vibe going down on stage althought they are more metal/funk than electronic.
Plaid in the old [smaller] Smallfish record shop on the day before Double Figure LP was released - it was incredibly intimate with about 40 - 50 people there.

Pan(a)sonic. Holy shit, they fucked me in my cranium.
That was like 8 years ago. I'm not sure I've even been to a show since.
