Yes and no, if it's just him, possibly, but if it's more than an hour set.. yeah i'm ok with that.

The only time I ever caught him live was at coachella last year when I left Bjork before her encore for the tail end of his set. And the opportunity to see him solo again probably won't arise for a while after this one so I may suck it up and go.

provided i'm still in the area, i'm beg/borrowing/stealing money to take a friend for his birthday.. a week late, but to see dj shadow is good, right?

Apes just added to this.

And what the hell is it doing on the backstage?

According to his Myspace, the July shows are the Hard Sell tour (so still with Cut Chemist).

I saw the January show and really enjoyed it. It was fun to be able to go in having no idea what to expect and still having a great time. Lots of parodies (I think they "covered" to Stairway to Heaven), and the combination of movie + cameras of the stage was really awesome. I would recommend it (but as someone said, don't expect to hear Endtroducing. I don't think they played anything from that).

Dont' know but I'm PSYCHED.
