LEFTFIELD

[nbvcide]

Monster of a closing track. Sounded really good without the MC, too. I wonder what the deal with MC Cheshire Cat was? Conspicuous by his absence for sure. If nothing else it cost us "Inspection (Check One)," usually a staple in all their gigs.

my fav thing about the set.. and most of the weekend, very very few MCs.

[Wheres the beef?]

so...either right before leftfield or directly following them, part of what i am assuming was a group of boardies were taking a photo. i took the camera so that the girl trying to take said photo could get in the shot. does anyone have evidence of this, or am i making shit up???

[shakermaker113]

you held the camera and took the picture, yet you need us to confirm it happened?

yes, that was real.

yes, they do exist.

[bonerfromgrowingpains]

ok. i see myself in the background beside the board...i thought i was making shit up. this one had to have been taken right before i took the photo. thanks

[greghead]

Oh hey, there I am.

[beeerplease]

Holy eff. I had flashbacks to this set and something vividly involving the colors red and a theremin going fucking crazy...

...videos confirmed that it was Afro-Left.

As loopy as I was during this set, I cannot deny that I was witnessing crazy shit.

[Orbaddict]

so apparently this was their first show in the US?

Yup. I've been wanting to see them since 1996, this was the only chance I've had stateside. Glad I was there.

Damn, Ryan. You've been busy. Will definitely check those videos out!

yes, that was real.

no...you fucking prick. i was super fucked up on psychadelics and wasted drunk. i just wanted to confirm reality. thanks for keeping it real and never disproving the fact that 99% of the people on this board are total assholes. go shave your ass.

Where the hell were you at Leftfield, and why wasn't I there too? Was looking forward to saying hello to ya.

Initially, I was hanging right behind the sound booth in the Mojave for the "Mojave Trinity" (Trentemøller, Ratatat, and Leftfield). I wanted to avoid crowded areas so I wouldn't have to subject everyone to my disgusting hacking (got "Coachella Lung" early and bad this year.) But before the start of Leftfield, my friends found me and gave me some encouragement to move up to the front for the show. And yeah, thats basically where I was.


Sorry I missed ya, Betao.

[Kyliediscope]

Thank you for the boot. I listened to it double digits already.

[greghead]

^Same. I've been reliving the set in my head each time. And thanks to Ryan for the videos, those are nice.

[ods..]

i don't know if i danced harder to afro-left or afrika shox. what an awesome set.





i just wish they played Chant of a Poor Man

[vdubshani]

Thanks for posting all these videos! For one, its awesome to re-live this show but also I didn't fully realize just how amazing the visuals were...I was right up front so I wasn't able to experience the whole effect of the visuals and lights like the people farther back must have...and I was too busy falling in love with neil to notice anything else anyways!!!

[boarderwoozel3]

The videos are phenomenal, thank you. I've watched the series a number of times. They really are that good.

[gooftroop]

Fantastic videos! Steady long shots and the sound is pretty good too! Was this shot on a monopod? Mad props to the videographer.

[citizenerased]

Bummed I missed them. Of course the tunes are great but holy shit they have sweet visuals.

[brematale111]

I should have seen Leftfield.

Thanks! Hopefully we can make a DVD in the future. We need additional 720p footage though. I haven't had time to hit people up on youtube though.

Egregious understatement.

[sin213]

so....another taper that liked my Leftfield recording from Coachella messaged me with a little treat.

Leftfield - Live 1996

[wstsidela]

I walked up during Afroshock. That was my WTF moment. They were brilliant.

[ivankay]

i put up the only clip i got from the Coachella set. It is Space Shanty from the back. There was a guy named Erik with a very fun jacket in the back:

[with_cheese]

That's pretty great.

[Ross1492]

What a wonderful set that was.

[guedita]

Announcement today that Leftfield is planning a completely new tour for 2013.

[wstsidela]

Nice!!

[greghead]

Good god, yes!
