One of my regrets in life is not going to Alive 2007 because I was young and none of my friends wanted to go with me.
- zucked 6y agoDitto. My "home" venue is Red Rocks. I got invited but I didn't feel like it and didn't want to spend the $50. Oof.
- pmarreck 6y agoI was 35 and didn't go. I have no excuse.
- l33tbro 6y agoI purposely didn't go. Still don't regret it. I was a fan since before Homework was released - and before they had the robot get up. When my friend told me about the Coachella show in 2006, I was admittedly pretty excited. But I checked out an early Youtube clip and thought it was sort of ... lame. The pyramid / Close Encounters concept was amazing. But there was nothing live - nor 'alive' - about that show. Compare this to what they were doing in 1997, when they were actually remixing 'Homework' in real-time with an ingenious midi network of synths, samplers, sequencers, and drum machines - and the 2007 era just seemed to pale in comparison. Even the late Phillipe Zdar was not into it - and told a mutual friend that 'It's just a light show'. I feel like he appreciated what I did about the audacity of that Alive 1997 era. With all that said - I'm pretty sad to know that they're no longer doing their thing.
