    I also heard 911 is a joke toward the end. I actually thought the sound during Public Enemy wasn't that good. I moved from the back, to the front and then to the side but whilst Chuck D and Flav came across loud and clear the music was a bit of a noise for a lot of the gig.

    I missed a good deal of Edan's set - gutted about that. Shame that Antipop Consortium weren't on first, as I wasn't feeling them at all. Terrible sound quality for them. Edan, Keith, the Bomb Squad and PE absolutely killed it though. Does anyone know if the tunes bomb Squad were playing were their own or a straight DJ set of others peoples' tracks? Peace & luvizm xxx (Thomasboy, I can't remember the exact order of the encore, and I had to leave before it ended to catch the last train, but I heard 'Welcome to the Terrordome', 'Shut 'Em Down', and 'Can't Truss it' in the encore, or, at least, after the performance of ITANOMTHUB)
