I lost what little respect I had for Moby when he changed the words to "That's When I Reach For My Revolver".
he should have just let them bleep it like all the rap videos.
Moby, Moby, Moby....
Is that vansmack in his Halloween costume?

mtv censors things so unnecessarily.
such as 'cement shoes' from 'drop it like it's hot', but won't hesitate to show nearly-naked, poorly-blurred people making out on their spring break stuff.
I went to check out the show tonight. My overall thoughts: it was good, not great by any means. I guess that anyone that likes Moby's music will appreciate certain things he does more than others. For me, anything pre-1996 is pretty great, I even like Animal Rights (which he ignored tonight, despite it being his favorite record of his own). I enjoyed Play when it came out, and it was nice to hear those songs, but the totally unnecessary version of "Temptation" by New Order ripped out all of the joy and originality of the original. The Lou Reed covers were a little bizarre, and though there are a few decent songs off Hotel, they don't quite compare to anything off of Everything is Wrong. The 3 highlights were easily "Go", "Next is the E" and "Feeling So Real". But of the nearly 2 hours of music, I just thought he could have done better. His performances used to be one gigantic rush from start to finish…when I saw him at the Black Cat I remember he did stuff like "Ah Ah", "Thousand", and he did a very competent version of "New Dawn Fades". Anyway, I'm glad I went tonight, it just wasn't what he's capable of. On the plus side, the lighting was some of the very best I've ever seen at the 9:30.

i have grown very, very tired of moby as a person and i find myself less and less interested in his music. he just annoys me in general now.
What Bunnyman said.
Not enough old stuff. too much play.
At least the drunk girl waving the beer bottle and rather intoxicated young man shouting at Moby made the evening a bit more exciting…

Wouldn't say I'm a Moby fan, but he does make great songs for spinning classes.
I have 'another woman' on one spinning cd I put together, and 'in my heart' on another.

I also went last night, I rather enjoyed what I saw. But I could see how an old school raver would be disappointed. We left after 45 minutes cause my girlfriend wanted to leave on a high note. The song after he talked about coming to DC and playing in some field at 4 a.m. in the morning. It was the first real rave song he played that night and we didnt want to take a chance that he didnt play another one. So like I said, we left on a high note. :D
That would have been "Go". After listening to some of Moby's stuff in the past couple of weeks, including the promo of Hotel that I got, I have to say that in 1995 Moby was at the top of his game. He really made some incredible dance music, and in my opinion that is what he did best. It was original and inspired…a lot of the newer stuff is just sort of there, a bit vapid. I love his ambient work too, hell I love Animal Rights. But back in the day there was nothing like him beating the crap out of his octopad thingie and having about 400 people dancing their asses off. I know I'm sounding old and elitist…but it was just more fun. As for him as a person, I met Moby a bunch of times before he got really huge (didn't Play sell over 10 million copies worldwide?) and he was an incredibly nice guy, totally engaging and fun to talk to because he could go from political nerd to music geek to Simpsons fanatic at the drop of a hat. He's always been outspoken, but I agree with distance that these days it just sounds more preachy. Anyway…I'd go see him again if he threw in some more older stuff, especially anything from the Move EP.

How was Buck 65? did anyone catch him early? I love him. He's Canada's answer to Beck.

I was totally thrilled with Moby last night… Ya, it's not what it was in the early/mid 90s, but at least he played Go and next is the E… I can truly say that I'm glad that over 10 years later, I am still able to hear some of my favorite songs by Moby live… I wish he had done thousand though… Oh, and the crowd was sorta dead, I think that a bunch of people there didn't know much about moby or his music, they seemed sorta lost?? I dunno, maybe I'm being too hard… I had a blast though, well worth the money, gotta love the 930 club…
I saw him play AFTER David Bowie at the Area 2 festival a few years back and all he did was run around the stage and hit some keys on the keyboard at various intervals. Very very bad. I wish he would go away.
Originally posted by K8teebug:well there was that whole debate about him just pressing play on a dat and having his performances pre-recorded a long time ago. i figured he was past that. the 930 show i saw was pretty bad so i wouldn't be very inclined to see him again for that, regardless of how much i might like some of his older material.

i was interested in area:one, but i just wanted to see the orb again and it wasn't worth $50 for a general admission ticket to go all the way up to holmdel nj (the closest date with the orb) just to get to see the orb again.
speaking of which, it's been 4+ years since their last 930 show. they need to be brought back here.
