Orbital Sound System - Paris

[jcfromparis]

I was wondering why the French concerts are labelled Orbital Sound System.
I guess it's a DJ set, but why did they choose to do that instead of a real concert ?

I just bought my train ticket to go to Paris (100€) and my ticket for the Orbital show, but hey, I just read that we french people will be granted with an inferior version of the show ? What the F*** is this DJ Set you're talking about ? What's the purpose of giving the hardcore french fans a simple DJ Set... I'm quite confused now. I'd never pay 122€ to go in a night club.

According to the Nouveau Casino staff, it will be a live show but without the visuals (it's a small place).

[Rez]

You made my day JC.
I don't give a stunning fuck about the visuals.
The most important is that they play real music, instead of simply DJing.

I believe it's a DJ set - i'm checking for you BUT is this on

April 20th or April 21st? If it either of those...it's a DJ Set.

If not give me the date and i will check

[Rez]

Thank you Loopzman, it's april 20th indeed...

If i remember right, this was one of the night's i highlighted as being advertised in a not so friendly way. Ie: It wasnt saying it was a DJ set! bad promotors....

This is a proof of the promotor lying :

Bonjour, nous tenons à vous préciser que la mention DJ SET sur le site officiel correspond au simple fait qu'il n'y aura pas la vidéo présente sur les autres dates de la tournée. Il s'agit bien d'un live à proprement parler pr le lancement de l'album . Nous vous accordons que l'utilisation du terme "DJ SET" est plutot malheureuse mais indépendante de notre volonté...

Hello, we would like to inform you that the DJ SET mention on the official web site simply means that there won't be the screens-videos and lights juste like other dates. But it's a real live[...]

Orbital are playing a set from Laptops but it will be all Orbital tunes. That's the easiest way of putting this.

It'll be like the recent Boiler Room set by the sounds of things which was some straight Orbital tunes and also some slightly 'live' ableton Orbital songs more like the live set we have just had here. 4 or 5 of the tracks from the Boiler Room set were messed around with live versions.

It won't be all bad.
In fact that Boiler Room set was a lot of fun.
