Jeff Smith First of all I just want to congratulate you on your work on the LOOPZ website, you've done a wonderful and comprehensive job. Keep up the superior work! I attended the Community Service Tour 1999 Concert when it appeared in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, July 17th in the Bronco Entertainment Center. To begin, I must tell you that this is my first concert to see Orbital live and in person. They were absolutely amazing! They were the last group to play out of the stellar lineup of Lo-Fidelity All-Stars, Crystal Method, and John Kelley. I would have to say that Orbital stole the show. Not only was their music creative and refreshing, but their visual methods were second to none. Orbital played continuously for about an hour and a half, which included an encore performance of Satan and Chime. To give a run down of the songs played: Orbital played almost every song off their "The Middle of Nowhere" cd. They started off with Way Out and moved on to tracks 2 and 3, and then broke the pattern by pulling from their second album (brown album) from Impact (the earth is burning). From there they returned to MON and then went into two tracks from In Sides, then back to MON for a new rendition of Style. They stopped after Style and the crowd chanted "One more set" and "Orbital" and they returned for an encore performance of Satan and Chime. The only album that they noticeably missed was Snivelization. Their visuals were stunning. Most of them had to do with either Time (clock hands moving or digital counters), Consumer ploys (Buy Now, Pay later, Bargain Bonanza, etc) or everyday symbols (home, work, family, women, play, etc). Overall it fit the music very well and only enhanced their performance. I hope this "rookie" review has helped. I'm sorry I was unable to get any recordings or pictures. Let me just say that Orbital has garnared even more respect from me after their stellar performance. |
