Yes, it was good but I wasn't as impressed as some people
from the list seems to be ( the XXX Pole Pics thread ). See why

Now, we talk about the real "star" of both shows, David, IMHO,
completely blew away both Pole & Neotropic off the stage 
on these nights ( he was in Toronto also ), this isn't just
my opinion but also the one from people I went with, even
the ones that were there for Pole and never heard of David Kristian.

Now, I know why it's was called "heroin house" by
our friend Simon Reynolds : durimg the set people were lying 
on the floor like junkies after their fix.
