I have another May story - he played at The Orbit in 92/93. But only for 20 minutes. He was late cos he was supposedly confused about Leeds' proximity to London. Underworld were on before him and ended up playing a second set which was even more crazy and wigged out than the first. May shows up at 1.40am and plays about 40 records in 20 minutes, starting with Irresistable Force's Flying High played as fast as he could manually spin it on the deck, whilst cutting in some other record with beats, before slaying us for the next twenty minutes, grinning maniacally all the time. The place went mental and Leeds fell in love with Derrick May
