I went to see Autechre in Vancouver last summer and it was kindof
weird...the only lighting was a few candles on the stage, the crowd was very
appreciative of the music but you're right, no one really (except me and
some friends) danced, everyone just stood still, crammed at the front, with
their jaws dropped, and everyone screamed when they would throw in an
unexpected loud beat or a recognizable melody would come in...all in all it
was THE best show I've every been to, it was completely amazing...it took us
at least 10 minutes of LOUD screaming to get them to do an encore
though...grrr...anyways, that was my experience...
