DJ Shadow - In Tune and on time. Live
This is a DVD and audio cd of a Shadow concert in London 2002. Unlike Product Placement and the earlier Brainfreeze this show features only Shadow's own music either solo or with collaborators like Quannum/Blackalicious/UNKLE.
It's a very elaborate production featuring a full synchronised video backdrop projected onto three large screens courtesy of an outfit called Mission Control.
Apart from the rather wooden interaction with the crowd Shadow pulls this off in grand style. Not content to rely on two turntables and a microphone he adds two CDJ's and an MPC 4000 sampler plus a bank of effects and proceeds to dimantle and rebuild a vast chunk of his back catalogue. The encore in particular where he puts You Can't Go Home Again/Midnight In A PerfectWorld/High Noon through the blender is simply a triumph.
This stuff just fascinates me.

Try it, you just might be suprised.

PS if any of you managed to get hold of or can maybe beg borrow or steal a copy of Diminishing Returns... only 1000 copies were made... I'd be yer buddy ferever.
