March 28, 2002 @ Warsaw - Brooklyn, NY.
Mira calix (here), who played for thrice as long as Plaid, played some interesting beats but then some pretty boring repetitive shit for at least 20 minutes, she spun Music Is Math, and everyone cheered and danced, that was fun as hell.
Nobukazura Takemu (here) played some really wierd shit, some of which was totally unlistenable and avante gard and everyone was pretty much just standing and looking at his wierd visuals (here and here). It became kind of interesting towards the end, but then he did a little japenese bow to everyone and left. Everyone cheered, but I think it was more in anticipation of plaid rather than for Nobu.
Mira Played some more, left, and plaid came out.
Plaid (here) fucking kick-ass. I don't really know what else to say. They really compensated for the mediocrity of the show up until that point. Plaid opened up with the amazing first track from their new P-Brane EP, I couldn't really dance, just float back and forth, it was so beautiful. After that they basically just ripped everything up with really intense beats, mostly stuff from Double Figure mixed & remixed. and everyone was dancing or at least nodding their heads up and down. They played this fucking awesome version of New Family from double figure, it was amazing, everyone had their eyes closed and were silent and listening. They showed an amazing visual during that one, with like text of symptoms of depression, and then showing a city street in time-elapse fast forward. So it was like, "Do you have trouble sleeping", and you'd see 10,000 people get in and out of a subway car, I can't really explain it, but it was really powerful with that track.

Then they played some other crazy skitterish background beats with solid beats layered on top which made everyone go wild again. Plaid had some insane visuals as well (here and here). They also had this wierd robotic arm with 4 cameras on it that moved back and forth by itself over each of them and what they were doing with their hands, it like blended the two images together or put them on split screen instantaneously on the screen (here and here).
Plaid left the stage, everyone cheered for a good five minutes, they (here) came back and did an encore of a brilliant track I had never heard before. And that one had the most insane visual of all, it had a UFO or something with the sky somehow circling it, and then this wierd robot kept superimposing himself over the image bigger and bigger. That doesn't explain it at all actually, just click (here)
After Plaid Keith Tenniswood (here, notice the crowd walking away after plaid) one of the Two Lone Swordsmen came out and played some real smooth track, which slowly degraded into house, which slowly degraded into something with the vocals "I love it when your booty shake, uh-huh, uh-huh" at which point we promptly left.
It was a pain in the ass to write this up, hope you enjoyed it! Long live the aphextwin.nu community ;) -- Xtos.

Eww, that sucks what Keith did, because Two Lone Swordsmen are awesome. I guess Andrew Wetherall is the better of the two.

the video you speak of that has the dome building, rotating sky and fade-in Ultraman type guys is what usually accompanies "Zala". have seen them switch videos w/ stuff before though. the "Ooh Be Do" video [video of many birds in the sky] was used for an unreleased track/or P-Brane track in LA.

digital messiah: no, not really sorry, /plaid/ will be unauthorized.
SPD: thanks for the info I was wondering what those were. I know they played all four P-Brane tracks and I think Zala was the one with the rotating sky.

nobukazu takemura shoulda played stuff like "sign" or "animal show".
not that i think his noisy stuff is bad per se (scope is awesome), but in a live setting i think it would be completely boring really.

To whoever bumped this old thread back up: I didn't pay the bill for my webhost and after a few months they deleted all of my content! I don't even have these pix anymore =(!
However I did see Plaid again last month and I took lots of pix (with a much better digital camera) and that's up on the gallery:
here, enjoy!
