[live] Isotope217 vs Tortoise

hi !

i'm listening to "utonian automatic" by isotope 217. it's
great !
i'm a tortoise fanboi and love both projects. Their music is
a perfect bridge between rock, jazz and electronica. It
seems as if they have a lot of fun playing and recording -
which is rare and precious too. And John McEntire is a
fucking amazing as to production ideas.

My question is : have you seen either of them live ? How was
it ? Any great moments that you can remember ?

***********************************************

Thanks for any interesting and/or funny [BUT remember ! this
is a music mb !] comments
and possible spelling correction !

Matt: I think as a band we try to just make music that we
think is beautiful to try to help promote beauty �
which sounds kind of stupid I guess, but on a real serious
level I think that's what we're trying to do, is like just
increase goodness in general.

Ralf: That doesn't sound stupid at all. It sounds very
accurate.

Matt: I'm glad. Whenever I say stuff like that I feel a
little goofy sometimes. (Laughs).

i saw tortoise live last month at the royal festival hall,
it was fucking awesome - the best bit, umm, well it was all
great, the xylophone section of djed is still very vivid in
my memory - they had some really cool visuals as well.

Poland. they began the gig with a medley of 3 tracks from
TNT, that was amazing. two drum kits, changing instruments.

yeah...visuals...and McEntire in front of hte screen, with
his synth, very focused, as if he was looking at one point
only during a whole song

i haven't even listened to isotope, blud, anything to
recommend? tortoise did all but the last (bassy) part of
djed, they were swapping instruments loads at rfh as well -
they had two drumkits and two vibra/xylophones - one was
electric or something, it was just a long thin panel, it
looked ace.

as to isotope....the track that usually knocks me out after
long-time-no-listen to Isotope....it's LUH from "Utonian
Automatic" the best one of their 3 albums imo...i share them
if you want
