    i was not impressed....over here in Utrecht, NL only 2 songs were lifted
    from rather uninspired replays of the CD-tracks to inspirational
    live-performances.... that's not a lot in my opinion.... lights and visual
    were indeed first-class.... didn't like the thing the one DJ was trying to
    do with mixing some 12"es inbetween the music...KRS one "the sound of the
    police" and that kind of music was a littlebit to much in a different style
    than their own music :)
