For those of you who are now going to miss the show, don't be to discouraged.
Although I liked the show (music was good, visuals were cool, dj's were pretty
good, etc) it wasn't great. Massive Attack was scheduled to play 1:30...they
played forty minutes, played "Safe From Harm" twice (the same way) and played
"Weather Storm" twice (yes, the same way again). They limited themselves by
what they decided to play also. For example, since Horace Andy is on tour with
them, expect ALL of the Horance Andy stuff, and no Tracy Thorn or Nicolette
tunes. They did play "Karmacoma" though with Daddy G and 3-D doing the vocals.

If you go, or have gone, can you tell me who the female singer is. I didn't
have a clue. She did a nice job. One more thing, what was up with that 30
minute dj set right before Massive. It was cool to hear a bongo player over
ambient smoothness, but not for thirty minutes with only one change in his
background music.

Maybe I was just being to picky?
