Not much extra to add to comments so far...Think capacity in Tripod is 1200; I'd say there were an easy 600 there last night. Lovely venue, Tripod, but even with a small audience the heat in the place could easily become too much. I was right up the front, doing a little bit of shifting from foot to foot in lip service to dancing, but as the gig was probably no more than half full, and only about every other 11th person was making any effort to express themselves physically listening to the music, I was surprised how warm it was. Similar issues with previous gigs there: Battles, Underworld, Richie Hawtin, at which the heat was so immense that cold condensation was dripping from the ceiling...yes, I mean sweat.
TM had sound issues but they did not detract from the gig. Only heard the CD twice in car on way to gig, but enjoyed it, beyond simple awestruck fanboydom.
Left work, drove 4 hrs for gig; spent half hour driving around trying to find parking; got there just in time for gig-opener; after gig drove 10 mins in wrong direction before heading back the 140miles home. Somehow made it to work today with no problems. Such an effort would only be made for SY or an SY member...
Have some photos which I may get around to posting someday, but I'm really not very good at that kinda thing.
