I've seen orbital, underworld and Prodigy to tho For some reason those concerts still give me goose bumps thinking back...

what are yours ?

Kinda liked Leftfield.

Could never warm to Daft Punk, but appreciate their place in the evolution of dance.

As for Basement Jaxx, just a commercial act that dips into a wide variety of styles. Sometimes it's good, like Where's Your Head At. Sometimes it's novelty stuff.

Never seen Leftfield live, big regret of mine.

Saw Basement Jaxx live, big regret of mine.

3 that I'm very happy I got to see, in no particular order...

1. The Orb
2. Orbital
3. Model 500

Countless acts I'd still love to see live.

Orbital, anytime anyplace. Can't wait to see them again at Electric Picnic, have tickets as well for a gig in Manchester 2 weeks later, just themselves. Their 'last ever Irish gig' was something special at Oxegen 4 years ago.

Mid-90s Prodigy - Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney, then the Tivoli, then numerous times in the Point. Excellent. They wouldn't be my bag nowadays though.

Groove Armada would be my third - saw them at Witness - mad gig - guys climbing up the guy wires of the tent, really went off. They played the first Electric Picnic when it was a one day thing, that was excellent as well. Have seen them at the Olympia and here and there as well.

Have seen Underworld twice, both really blew me away, wasn't expecting them to be that good.

Chemical Brothers at Electric Picnic 2 years ago was ok, visuals were amazing and new songs were good, something just a bit lacking.

Basement Jaxx - saw a couple of times, bit novelty alright

Booka Shade - letdown of Electric Picnic last year for me. Was looking forward to seeing them, wasn't helped by crap sound in the tent. There was just no comparison between them and Underworld the next night. Ok you can say it's apples and oranges, and Underworld were helped by better sound, but Booka Shade looked like they'd never be good live.

VinylJunkie

1. Prodigy
2. Booka Shade
3. Deadmau5 / Sasha

I know I give Deadmau5 a lot of abuse but his live performance was excellent granted it was October 2008.

I guarantee this time next week I will have a whole different perspective with Melt coming up.

Chin stroke much?

Commercial ??? to what none underground commercial,

Under world could be regarded the same. as well as the majority of acts all ready said bye other's, the difference being that you see a divided, and give of this wonderful snobbery impression. That your taste's are to good for that sort of affect.

Ive walked into a cattle market and seen the hole place erupt be cause paul van dyke , for an angel was being played, Im not a fan of his music tho i respect something and the deciding factor is if people enjoy it then its fun this is not about chin stroking about the music its seeing who you, most enjoyed live, Ive seen James Lavelle play ive seen unkle play Ive seen the stanton warriors , ive seen future funk squad and the plump dj's, scratch pervert's, and many others but never have seen people enjoy it as much as the 3 Ive listed...

Its pretty sad to chin stroke like that. All you do is limit your self to Oh i couldn't stomic that because its to commercial bye saying that you limit who you can see and enjoy, I love all electronica not just one type il near enough listen to anything because it all has its place I certainty don't limit my self or the music i listen to just because its "commercial"...

Thats sad!

not about chin stroking

Apparently I am not allowed to mildly criticise an act like Basement Jaxx because this poster liked them, and they were one of the acts which rescued him from Megadeth and Motley Cru!

I'll bow to his knowledge of stroking oneself, and agree to differ with the opinion he wants to impose.

As for the thread, the act I waited 20 years to see and finally did last year, 808 State.
