Ed Wynne + Particle + Ozric Tentacles + Booze

= An amazing night.
Buddy and I got tickets to the Particle Ozric Tentacles show. We got there about 45 minutes early to get some food and went into this seedy Indian restaurant about two stores down from the venue. We walk in and there's only one other guy in there. A dirty hippie with long black hair, in the corner. We go and order our chicken pita and sit down at a booth and the the hippie gets up to get his order, it's Ed Wynne, guitarist from Ozrics. Holy Shit! One of the best guitarists alive.
So I wait for him to eat and I go up to him and say "hey, I know you get this all the time and I feel like a complete lame douchebag for saying this, but I think you make some of the best music I've heard, and I just wanted to see thank you and it's much appreciated." He smiles and quietly says "your welcome, we do what we can." So I sit down and kinda bullshit with him. We start talking about America's Funniest Home Videos and Shakira. Thats what was playing muted on the TV with a Shakira album blaring over shitty speakers. We get up and leave and go to the show.
Particle fucking kicked ass!! I was beyond impressed. They did this 15 minute jam where they just kept building and building to the point where the audience couldn't take it anymore and they started screaming and hollering and then they crescendoed into this awesome funky beat and a tear rolled down my eye. All the while they had this awesome lighting twisting and turning and strobing and changing colors according to the beat...it was pure bliss.
Ozrics came on next and rocked it, but they were plagued by faulty microphones.... 
It was a great experience though. I needed it.

Wow,that is badass man.I am glad you enjoyed particle.I hear good things from many people about them.
It would be amazing to see Ozric.It sucks about the microphones.Did the problems persist throughout the whole show.

No pics! I forgot to bring one of course. 
Well, they were playing a song that has a notoriosuly tight rhythm, I think it was Oolite Groove, anyway, right in the middle, the mics go out on the drums and there's no beat. Ed and Brandi (the synthist ) look at eachother and throw up their hands and then broke into a spontaneous ambient groove, it was kinda a blessing in disguise, you got to see how they played it out with the bass player throwing in a few licks here and there and then the mics came back on and they resumed the song. The drummer was wearing headphones and never stopped playing, so I don't know if he ever knew.
