I just got home from there as well! He was heaps better this time than
when he played @ dome last year, he played a much harder and danceable
set I thought.
Also it was good in a small club where you could walk right up to the
decks and see what was going on.. though I think the constant
handshaking etc was starting to bug him as he was on the job - plus all
the people dancing around him waving glowsticks in his face etc... but
it was still good to see him in a smallish packed venue instead of far
away on a stage or up on a podium like the last 2 times I heard him.

Also Jeff Tyler played an excellent set afterwards, though I left part
way through it. Only minor downer for the night was SOME ARSEHOLE
STEALING MY FUCKING JACKET but I'll get over it.
