So it turns out I grossly underestimated the amount of shows I have left. After sorting through everything and cross-referencing with Thatch’s wiki, I found a lot of mislabeled shows.
The only thing I have left are some original radio broadcasts of the BBC shows. Since these are now available on CD, I really don’t see a point in posting low-quality versions.
If anyone has a show that hasn’t been posted to either site, let me know. For now the site will stay as-is until I get some time to set up the centralized storage area I want. Maybe then we can work on some LX DJ sets.
I might also replace the site with a forum for Orb-ish discussion. Blogging is so one-way and the orb mailing list seems just about dead.
The Orb - April 27, 1997 - Kansas
Unfortunately there is some really arrogant crowd noise at times.
The Orb - July 25, 2001 - Tinley Park, Area One Festival
I have left this show in-tact as it was when I downloaded it. Included in the zip is a CD cover as well as a ticket stub and VIP pass.
I am pretty sure I know the person who put this show together, but I’m not 100% certain, so I won’t name drop. :)
Regular commenter and show contributor Thatch has his own wiki with Orb show details and downloads? It’s an awesome reference.
In an attempt to not duplicate information, I will only be posting shows that are not available on that site. This also limits the amount of shows that I have left to post. If you have any live Orb show not listed on either site, please email me at joe@topjian.net or post a comment.
I have still been looking for a good alternative to MegaUpload to centrally share all available shows.
Thanks for reading!
The Orb - April 27, 2001 - San Francisco
If this show doesn’t generate some comments, I don’t know what will. Lots of Cydonia tracks (practically the entire album), including a great version of Once More.
The Orb - May 13, 1997 - Toronto
An awesome two-hour Orb show.
The Orb - November 19, 1993 - Cambridge Corn Exchange
The Orb - April 28, 2001 - Coachella
Does anyone have a definitive story about what exactly happened during this show? The only thing I have been able to find was this.
The Orb - May 12, 1991 - Brixton
This is the earliest Orb show I have right now. Good sound quality and awesome versions of the Ultraworld songs.
The Orb - September 29, 2001 - Belfast
Another show thanks to Thatch.
I’m not sure if this is a DJ set or a live show + DJ set at the end. Does anyone know? Also, can anyone fill in the unknown tracks?
