Ok I'll jump on the bandwagon on this one and have my own "greatest" thread since the old fogies are moaning about "Trance crap" again

So who would be your greatest dance or electronica live act? Could be from any generation or era. Being a youthful 26 I'd have to personally say Faithless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otLEU...eature=related or Orbital http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gd-Q...eature=related

Have to agree with Faithless. They are fanflippintastic. I do like Groove Armada too.
Infact, I like most music, except Country & Western. I can't stand that stuff

Considering Maxi Jazz is an old fogey too, born in 1957 he is in really good nick

Not very well known, but I'm a big fan of bath based hardcore collective, CLSM. You dont get better than a set of motivated individuals, who make good music, yet are determined not to take things too seriously.
Here's their campaign to get Hardcore on Radio one, entitled "john peel is not enough". Worked as well.

Here's my favourite of their songs, "see you on the other side"

and finally, their take on people jumping on the bandwagon and making cheap music for a quick buck

Good find - I managed to get to a few Helter Skelter's in the late nineties I used to love hardcore and old skool it's not the same anymore. Been along to a couple of Innovation DNB events more recently highlights of which were Shy FX and Rat pack.

Oilburner

The Prodigy!I went to their gig at the NIA last year and I was still going 3 days later.Best live band I've seen by some distance

Who was the warm up act?

Jamz3k

People have laughed at me for saying this but the best live dance act i've ever seen was Scooter! I **** you not, they were great and stole the limelight off PVD who was playing in the Tent beside them.

To the right crowd they would be very good as they have made lots of material over the years. Kinda lost their way in the past 8 years or so with many commercial rip offs but they do have a big fan base. I personally find them horrid except for maybe the early hardcore stuff.

DJ Shadow?

Jamz3k

I think they are jolly good but do agree that they have mutilated a fair few songs lately. Dance music has fairly lost its way though all this minimialistic progressive **** sounds like crap and makes you take drugs to make it any way interesting.

I need some Acid Rave in my life.

Luan Pra bang

The prodigy are the best I have seen. Chemical bros, pendulum and chase and status are all great as well.

Ai barmy daze them mate, Uprising, Dizstruzshon, Sunday Skool only managed Helter Skelter once but
It was Uprisings 15th birthday in May and i was well up for it but the gods conspired against me

Seen um a few times myself (always in a field), blew me away every time. Best one was defo Glastonbury '95 though, mainly due to the shrooms

+1 for The Prodigy. 1993 Rote Fabrik in Zurich after sharing a 2 litre bottle of wine with my mate Rog. Mantronix in circa 1988 were wicked and Sunscreem were pretty good at the Brixton academy too. I think I'm showing my age here

Oilburner

I thought it said a lot that at their NIA show they performed songs off albums 1,2,3 and 5 nothing off the 4th one!

CrisPDuk

And he wrote an awesome song about owning (and driving) a Mk2 RS2000

The Zohan

wasn't it a cover of this madness track???
