Plaid - live. Wexner, Columbus.

I watched Plaid today.

Chris Clark opened. Great stuff. Some brilliant. Some missed
the mark. Great presence, though.

Luke Vibert followed. This guy is just the coolest. I am
amazed at his sense of humor and stage presence. He played
an acid drenched set, that morphed into a all out Plug-fest
with a brilliant ending on a Jungele track. In the middle
somewhere, he found time to drop in Flow Coma as well. 808
state's Newbuild never dies. Thats a good thing.

Plaid came on last. To dimmed lights and Bob, the robotic
eye, they started out on tracks from Spokes. I was stunned
to say the least. I have never heard them so raw and
agressive and almost oppressively dark in spots. The one
non-spokes track was New Family played along with its video.
Drew great cheer from the crowd. Almost a respite from the
hard banging techno that preceded that. One more track and
then back for an encore.

The best part of the evening was getting to talk to them.
They came out back onto stage after the show. For two blokes
that do not so much as look at the audience while they
perform, they were really amazing after the show. Very
polite and answered all my questions. Signed my Trainer CD.
It now says Andy and Ed, Plaid on it. Some years from now, I
shall show it to my children, like the day Phobe showed me
the pic of his copy of 'Scoobs in Columbia'. And I shall
tell them that I got to shake the hands that tweaked the
knobs on 'Scoobs', 'Parasight', 'Psy Cosyn', 'Focus Mel' &
'Eyen'.

I could not ask for more.

I'm listening to Parasight now, btw. Ahhhh, I wish when I
saw them over the summer they would have played 'New Family'
live....that would of been something.
