Having just seen Spiritualized and a thirty five piece orchestra redefine 'the live show' and with the hangover from the after party finally subsiding, we got to thinking just what is the most important part of the experience for the modern day punter at a gig? So with lab coats on and a neat row of pens in our top pocket, we just have time to comb our hair into a Kraftwerkian side parting and ask the following multi choice question in the name of science. What's the most important experience you want to have at a live gig?

A: Just a fun night out where I can forget the drudgery of daily life?
B: A communal experience where I feel part of the right tribe?
C: An overwhelming other worldly out of body sensation?

Let us know your answer, and we will let you know the outcome of this precise experiment into your minds, next week.

Dr Ted asking the important stuff.

How good was it? It was in a word HUGE. Enough energy was produced in the room to launch the whole place into hyperdrive, what ever the fack that is. Zinc, Skream and Benga, Annie herself all turned in award winning sets of twisted techno, but the (disco) biscuit was taken by Fake Blood who could have played to dawn and the dancefloor would still of been packed at breakfast time. How good was Fake Blood? This good.
