Ugh!!! Coachella!!! That was the last time I
got to see the Orb. What a big let down. As I remember it the set started out
great and Alex even seemed to be in a good mood and he was jumping around all
happy, which is unlike his usual ornery self. Then about 20-30 minutes into the
set the damn cops made the promoters shut them down. WHat bullshit.
He doesnt seem to help himself in these situations. He left
the stage to abuse from the crowd when all it would have taken was an
explanation. It wasn't their fault the cops pulled the plug, but if the audience
had been told why, they would have left a lot happier without bad feeling
for the band. At Brighton, same thing, not their fault but no explanation,
everyone milling around wondering what was going on. No bad feelings
though, we all had a top night.
Phil.
