Unfortunately, I have to totally disagree. FC's live set was about the worst
stuff I've heard him put out. I mean, there was hardly anything other than a
four-on-the-floor beat the entire time, with hardly any variation whatsoever.

The NYC crowd applauded, amazingly enough, because all I saw and heard around
me were grunts and groans about how much longer is this going to take, etc...
I was majorly disappointed... have to go back and listen to the albums I
guess to regain my faith.
