I don't really do "best" shows, but if I could only ever revisit one DNB gig over and over again this is the one

enjoy and also thank you Tim Steigler and all who have made this music possible over all these years

I was there. A very good show indeed. I remember going outside and up the block to the state line to puff.

We hadn't met yet, mark. I remember the attendance being surprisingly sparse for the venue, band, and also on a weekend. Maybe 150 heads?

Eighteen bucks

Fees = zero dollars

meyer sound in a (mostly empty) timber framed room

I mean, what more do you want?

this was just before it was easier for me to jet set around...was on radar, couldn't make it.

 

Do he ever play outside Calif?  Heard his Iko on a local station up here from a month ago . Excellent.

To my bias ears, this 2005-2010 was peak DNB.   I'm no expert, but some of the shows are just pure fire.  Barry, Molo, and Sears just feeding off each other in ways that we all hope when walking into a show.  Throw in the tiny venues, great friends, and it was just pure bliss.  

Let's not forget Mookie.
