There was a time, way back when, hearing about an Orb show would have gotten me all hot and bothered.  I am still a HUGE fan of their work, but I fear nothing can live up to the lives shows of the past.  I recall seeing them play with Sun Electric years back… it was pure magic.

Well, The Orb is playing on a Wednesday evening (6/24) at a decent sized venue call the Bottom Lounge, but the place is more of a… um… hybrid club/bar/restaurant…  For example, when they played at the Metro or at The Riv the venue “fit”.  They places were dark, large enough for roughly 1000 people and seemed to be appropriate for the music.  Bottom Lounge seems more…  yuppie.

Don’t get me wrong, the place is really nice but I don’t know if it is the right location for the show. The cost isn’t an issue… or may it’s just that I am getting old, longing for the rave days of past…  who knows.
