Electric Picnic 09 - Introducing....
Main stage, Sunday 6th September, 2pm
Here's the concept - DJ Shadow's 1996 masterpiece 'Endtroducing' will be performed fully live, by eight musicians.
Describe in a tweet: An impressive tribute to an astonishing collection of songs..
Good Vibrations: Does it work then? Absolutely. A stunning performance with impressive attention to detail and some incredible musicianship. The scratching on 'The Number Song', the cello on 'Stem', the sax on 'What does your Soul Look Like?', those ridiculous drums on 'Mutual Slump' - it's all totally live. Even those cheeky little vocal samples are impersonated by our two vocalists.
ATL is amazed that such an intricate, complex record can be performed like this. Hugely impressive.
Life's a beach: Only downside was that not enough people witnessed this - there's about 60 people to greet them (though several hundred by the end).
Yes it was drizzling and a little early, but come on... Endtroducing live - how could you not be curious?!
