im a fairly hardcore afx fan - got most of the albums n singles... well, the not too obscure ones - (how i treasure my copy of analogue bubblebath 4!) - and my 1st afx gig was the barbican. i really enjoyed it, thought he put a real good spin on the usual gig conventions, ie the earphones - all at once we - (gf n myself) - felt closer n yet removed from the music. i was looking 4 other peeps opinions here n couldnt see anything... any comments?

yeah i was there man, best gig in years! 'skinning up is permitted...' love it! it was really refreshing to have a different venue and the earphones really made it special.
just wish it had gone on longer!

were people allowed to keep the headphones or the tape inside the headphones ?
how do you know if everyone was listening to the same thing ?

no!!!!!!!!!!!!! you unfortunately had to give the earphones back... very strict! afx was actually hiding up on a balcony, you could only see him if u went looking for him... and since the music would change suddenly - afx style - from ambient to d'n'b, plus there were samples that made everyone laff... u could tell we all heard the same thing.
but seriously, im amazed there hasnt been more about this gig on this board. it was amazing!!!

I read a review of the gig, I wish I could have gone. It sounded like a great idea. I haven't seen him live yet, but I'd like to do it in a small, intimate concert like that rather than an out & out rave.

i read that it was good etc etc but it was quite a harsh ending- something about kids being abused or something?

i'm also amazed not enough was said about the rave in Hackney. I mean 2 hours of intense fucking jungle!! He just kept handing Luke Vibert records and they went fucking nuts, like!!!! + the mc'ing and the live vox-recording feedback shit.....amazing
Read the barbican review.....sound well cool
