Re: How many times have you seen Orbital?

Well the first time for me would have been at possibly their first appearance at Brixton Academy. It was the first Megadog all nighter I went to, I know that much & I reckon it must have been late 92 or early 93.
I then went to all of the Brixton all nighters and new years eve shows that Megadog put on until they stopped doing them around 95/96. My memories are bad (and no surprisingly enough I never did drugs).
I do remember meeting them both at one of their proper Orbital shows at Brixton Academy, where they had the central scaffolding in place. The Higher Intelligence Agency supported them on that show, possibly 94. I also attended the 94 Albert hall show.
All the Universe gatherings they appeared at, then the Tribal Gathering events they attended including the Kraftwerk show.
Went to see them at the amazing Quart festival at Kristiansand Norway
They appeared a couple of times at the V Festival in Chelmsford
The last time I saw them was in 1999 at the Brixton Academy.
Not sure I would have the energy to keep up with those all nighters anymore.
Should have booked time off work to see them at Cambridge as I'm now in Bury St Edmunds.
Those Megadog all nighters were absolutely phenomenal & will never ever forget the first time I heard Impact played. Incredible memories.
In all during the 90's I must have seen them around 16-17 times.
Would be nice to see a list of dates they played over the years, maybe that could be archived one-way or another on these forums, unless it has already been done!
All the best!
