2. Daft Punk @ Tribal Gathering 1996: No one had heard of Daft Punk, the tent was half empty and i witnessed the best live set to date. Blew everyone away with a full on techno assault. They never reproduced that sound in any of there tracks or matched that performance. They did an essential mix that was dire and lost the plot years ago.
3. Sasha @ Space, Ibiza 1995. He played in the inside room which was then brilliant and played 3 hours of acid house, it was amazing.
4. Speedy J @ Atomic Jam, Q-Club 2002?. A live set via 2 x SU700. It was ridicules. Hawtin came on after and it was embarrassing.
5. Dave Clarke @ Atomic Jam, Q-Club 1997. A white screen and 1 DC, blinding! Followed by Chris Liberator who also played a blinder! Came out and was told Diane was dead....
6. DJ Rush & Beyer @ The End, London 1997?. Think it was 1997. DJ RUSH followed by 3 hours of 3 deck magic, by the then master, Beyer.
7. Adam Beyer @ The Orbit, Morley. NYE 1998?, Again, think it was 1998. Beyer was electric, IMHO his best ever performance.
8. Riche Hawtin @ Cocoon - Amnesia, Ibiza 2002. A blinder, finished off with his own rendition of 'Dark & Long' and room went ballistic.
9. Darren Emerson @ Bugged Out, Liverpool 1999 - Emerson came on after DC who had come on after LS live set. Given LS live set was brilliant, he played a fantastic set to end the night. The other room Derrick May has cleared the dance floor, again.
10. Iain Von Trapp (RIP) @ Anywhere. Every time I heard Iain played learnt something. A true innovator and a true inspiration.
Nothing in the last 5 years has really inspired be and as for minimal 'ket' techno...hhmmm
