That kind of sums it up for me, but I've only been to one, with Steve Bicknell, Mills and Luke Slater playing. I'd heard a lot of the tracks before, which is no bad thing in itself, but they were played without verve, passion or skill to my ears. My mates could have done as good a job! However, two other problems came into play: Firstly, Bridge & Tunnel was a terrible choice of venue for that kind of thing, very hard to get down in there since it's so long and narrow. Secondly, a friend of mine had just given me a copy of one of Mills's radio shows in his 'Wizard' persona, which blew my tiny mind. Since it was advertised as Mills playing older tracks as opposed to techno I was expecting something at least a little bit along those lines and was sorely dissappointed! Sounds like the recent one might have been a bit different though...
