Amon Tobin

The show was pathetic. Uninspired. Really bad...in fact depressing. Please note: I'm not some kind of negative naysayer - with nothing better to do than to diss a show...but I had to comment on this one. 10 minutes into the set and no one was dancing - except one poor soul in the front row waving his arm around (probably on crank). Uber-minimal lighting and no displays. Be clear on this - if you think those great visuals will be behind Amon at his dj set - they wont. Nope! Just him standing there - barely moving - tucked under his baseball cap - on a blacked out stage. So it's no surprise that the audience was just standing there too (not in awe mind you) but waiting for something (anything) to happen. No shouts from the crowd, no whistles, just nothing. Far worse than a snooze-fest...it was downright sad. The music he was spinning was a forced pairing of trance and hip-hop - an audio nightmare that sounded like mud pouring out of the speakers. It was loud and garbled (not deep and crisp). We left before it ended...couldn't take more. For those of you who were there and liked the set - ya simply gotta get out more! I've been around the world in pursuit of great music, electronica, dj's, etc. I met my wife in Ibiza (in 2000)...and I'm no rookie to the scene. Just this month I've seen Lee Foss, Porter Robinson, Calvin Harris, Freq Nasty and even Ellie Gouldiing to mix things up. Let me tell you - if you've got 25 bucks eating a hole in your pocket - skip the next Amon Tobin dj set and get yourself a nice meal - then go see a real show down the road...you'll be glad you did. Don't believe me? I took a photo...notice the one hand in the air in the front. Sigh...

The most amazing show i have ever been too, My brother and I had a blast!!!

would be great. There were lots more than just the recent album/production "ISAM", performed in the 2 long encores. Amon Tobin played for almost 2.5 hours, which is impressive by a one man show and for the venue itself. Of course, as with electronic music, the show is the thing otherwise you'd listen to it at home. And the show was great (there is no camera shake in the attached pictures. Try to see Tobin in the clear tetris part-looking glass. The glass there would turn on with light during the show and Tobin's mixing booth would disappear.) Before each encore, he came out to great the viewers--the first time in a space suit. Quantum physicists, mathematicians, after-hour party-goers and the man selling beer at the stand enjoyed this show, among others that napped to due to heavy drinking. No one should every miss Tobin live.

Amazing. My only regret was that there weren't tickets still available for the second show. I would have gone both nights.

With a set shaped like a pile of building blocks and an artist was hidden from view for most of the concert, it was unlike any concert I have ever been to. But the music and visual imagery combined to create an effect both powerful and mesmerizing. Wear earplugs though; the volume was punishingly loud.

Amon Tobin's show was a mind-melting scifi adventure. By the end everyone was going wild, and Amon walked out for a humble bow to the crowd. He's a genius as well as a class act, and master showman. His songs are hypnotic and catchy, abstract yet rhythmic. The visuals really immersed you in this fantasy world created by Tobin's songs. Everyone should see this show!! They should make it available on bluray, DVD, bottle it, whatever it takes to make this available to more eyeballs and earholes. Epic. Thank you!!

Most impressive visual, musical show I've seen!!!!

This show was absolutely incredible. We've decided to drive down to LA just so we can see it again.

3D mapping to multi-dimensional sounds. Amon is tops!

The most incredible live show I've seen in the last ten years . Amon Tobin is a genius! Not just a D.J. -but a composer of organic and chaotic beauty. The sound of "ISAM" live is other worldly. Tobin seamlessly orchestrates the rhythm of his set , drawing the listener into a cosmos of subtly and color. This concert was all masterfully aided by LEVIATHAN , "a design-focused production studio specializing in the creation of large scale visual experiences across all media". The engineers and artists at LEVIATHAN customized digital projection and sculpture , creating a concert experience that left me speechless . I brought my 15 year old brother to the show .It was his first concert . Truly brilliant.

The quick, don't miss this show!!! You will be hard pressed to find anything like what you will experience at ISAM live. Almost alien! The lighting and set design, in conjunction with the aural landscapes of Amon Tobin, will take you from the fiery depths to the outer heavens of the universe. You will take home with you a feeling of wonder and awe, and a feeling of jubilation for the future of sound and light combined. Thank you Amon Tobin and crew for putting together one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

This show is the most amazing I've ever seen, not in like 3-4 last years.... EVER!! I'll go there one more time - once is not enough!

This show left our whole group speechless for some time, and then asking ourselves what we're doing with our lives. Not everyone immediately understood that there was a story being told throughout the set, but once someone mentioned it we could all see that the bottom line was to break free of the confines of your life so that you can make your dreams a reality. It was a deeply emotional experience and I would pay triple the price to feel that again.

I saw Amon at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. He performed a DJ set rather than the crazy ISAM show that everyone raves about. I read some negativity about his DJ shows right here on Ticketmaster reviews so I was kind of skeptical about seeing him myself. If you like EDM I can't see how anyone could have disliked what I saw. He really threw it down with great intensity, he even got so into it that he knocked over his equipment twice! The crowd was definitely into it too. Great time, especially suited for a small venue for the loudness.

Doing strictly dj sets is not Amons fort Fortae it was unrefined and seemed like he was still testing his beats which should be taken care of before putting on a show. Additionally, crowd was super bunk at the Fonda. A lot of wierd old people. Crowd never really got into it. I've seen openers who have taken dumps on Tobins "headlining performance". Such as Tycho who opened for STS9 2 days later at the Palladium.

Went into this show expecting Amon Tobin's performance with boxes. Unfortunately, it was simply him performing a DJ set. That being said, it was really cool to see him in such a small venue. It gave the set a more intimate feeling without large crowds where everyone is bunched up together. This is a great way to really hear Amon Tobin's music without the distractions of a big, commercial environment. It equates to an acoustic performance.

Way too short overall. Tame opening. Amon's music is great, but never reached the sort of peak heights that one hopes for with his music. Without the visuals of ISAM...it just didn't achieve greatness. And while the venue is amazing to play at...there needed to be better lighting overall to help build atmosphere.

WHen they say a DJ set for someone like Amon Tobin and the tickets cost around $20 you have to figure he's working on new material. That didn't occur to me until around 20 minutes into his set. Nevertheless, I think he's great. The opening act, someone I'd never heard of, was pretty good and the sets were a reasonable length.

Amon Tobin's creation is out of this world. It is a phenomenal journey through visual and audio energy manifest in spectacular choreography unlike any I have ever seen. While it is heavily digital, it is somehow experienced as so natural and fluid. The images and the sounds interlace with perfection. And I mean much more than just good timing or that the noises provide a sound-track to the video displayed across the mosaic of boxes. No, it goes to another level. Truthfully, it is indescribable. You have to sink your ears into the music, sink your eyes into the field of images, and allow the two to merge in a harmony that has not been done before. Then you will know...

Amon Tobin: Isam 2.0 live was AMAZING! It's visually stunning, and his beats are ridiculous! One of the best shows that I've ever been to in my life. I can't wait to see him again!!

Doesnt matter if you dont listen to electronica, just remember to get your mind blown to the visual effects.. its like roger waters the wall, but with more effects in a small stage.

If you have an opportunity to go see Amon Tobin on this tour you absolutely should make sure you do. The entire show was simply mind blowing. Words simply can't do it justice. The combination of the out of this world visuals syncing perfectly with the unreal sounds Amon Tobin is melting the speakers with is unreal. I've never seen anything like it.

The visuals. The atmosphere. The music. All insane. This is a must see for anyone who likes electronic music or just cool performances.

Amazing show! Never have seen anything like it! More of an experience than a concert! Love the greek..easy to park..no lines in the bathrooms..and they have cup holders in the bathroom...score! It was an u forgetable night!

I saw him last year, it was great. I saw him this year, even better. New music, new stage setup, immense sounds, I was floored. And so so happy.

A new level has been set in Multimedia and Electronic art. This show was much more than a concert with live visuals. It was an Amazing Experience. The visuals are the show and Amon Tobin is laying down the score to accompany them. If the opportunity presents itself DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!

Amon Tobin's show is like nothing you have seen before. Not to be missed. It is a visual and auditory feast!

I'd like to relive this. Amon Tobin and the light show were amazing!

Best visual show I've ever seen for an electronic concert. Better than Daft Punk's pyramid and DJ Shadow's Shadowsphere. Absolutely mind blowing and Amon Tobin's music meshes flawlessly with the visual displays and is even interactive with his DJ'ing at some points. Most of the show was trancy and hypnotic but he really laid it down for the last few songs, I haven't danced that hard in a long time. Totally worth it.

Venue was amazing, sound system was amazing, stage setup was cool, but got old fast. Music wasn't paced very well. Crowd was all sitting around watching and zoning out, no energy to the show at all really. Nobody was dancing or doing anything exciting. Maybe I'm just biased because the last EDM show I saw here was Daft Punk back in 2006 and it completely blew this show out of the water.

The show is stunning. Memorizing. I personally was not a big fan of the latest Amon's record (ISAM), but coupled with the visuals of this show it's working great.

The bass killed the show (and it's a dubstep fan who is writing). With less bad and loud, it could have been a great show.

The Greek theater in Berkeley was a nice place to see this show. It was so LOUD, however, that my earplugs hardly helped. My clothes were vibrating for most of the show. I even caught myself gasping for air one time when the subwoofer frequency knocked it out of me. Amon Tobin is a true original talent, though, and he absolutely deserves all the accolades he's earned. Stay true to yourself, Amon, and thank you for what you do.

For not even being a fan of his music, I have been to both of his bay area shows and am always amazed on his ability to push the envelope on live performance. Absolutely mind blowing and brilliant. I will not hesitate on buying tickets in advance for any show nearby, thats how amazing his shows are!

the good: -The visuals made the music easier to get into for my girlfriend, who is less into this style. -As a fan since his early days, i dug that the visuals didn't have an obvious narrative that could've distracted from just feeling the music. the way he did it, the music and visuals complemented each other well. -Great venue. Glad he ventured out of the usual clubs and concert halls. It was a little odd at first to see the audience sitting for the most part, and clapping between songs. It worked though, since it's just as much of a head trip as it is danceable, probably more so. Changes we hope Amon makes for future shows: -We would've liked to hear more of his "classics." I get that this was a different format than most concerts, and mixing new and old songs probably didn't make sense for the main show. Still, the encore was a missed opportunity to show some love for the long-time fans. -Hope he'll bring back some of the humor from the earlier albums. The dark stuff is great, but I think it would be a stronger set if the feel was more varied. -Would of liked to see more of him. The occasional glimpse of him sitting in his little glass cube was amusing, but would've liked to have a better view of him workin the gear.

mindblowing show ! the most impressive visuals I have ever seen. I especially liked parts of the encore where Amon went back to his Drum & Bass roots !! The venue would be my only point of critique. This show would be even more impressive in an otherwise completely dark room. The background light from the city took away from the visual experience.

Amon Tobin is an experience. His music is ok. His show is amazing. The music really requires a massive stack of speakers and the visual assault that perfectly reflects his sounds. The novelty of the projections on the unusual cubic surface never wears off. Hard to describe beyond that. Go see it and be befuddled to explain it to your friends too.

I don't really listen to Amon Tobin. But I heard the show was fantastic. It was. I felt like I was wake boarding a spaceship, and I've never seen anything like the visual display. I think it was a glimpse into the future of concerts.

Amazing combination of sound and light! It tricks my visual and hearing perspective! I will definitely see it again.

Amon Tobin's show was an unforgettable sensory experience.

No matter how many YouTube videos you watch of the Isam, absolutely nothing compairs to seeing it live. Go see Amon Tobin.

The show is very original and the whole setup is fascinating. I do wish his music were a bit more varied. Definitely worth it though.

Awesome. Amon is an incredible sound designer/composer and hearing his stuff at high volume was thrilling. The creativity that went into the video was equally as stunning. Very high quality work on both sides. This show sets the bar extremely high for computer-generated content. The first half of the show included material with a very high degree of complexity - too much to take it all in, and yet, it was always completely engaging. The second half of the show included some simpler material that was easier to digest, and therefor more powerful. Both were very exciting. This is an amazing show, not to be missed.

One of the best gigs Ive been to. Simply Amazing! Highly recommended.

It started with Holy Other, he was awesome. Everything was going well and then some guy I didn't hear the name of came out and started doing a weird kind of mix where he took other people's rhymes and just put new beats on them? It was weird and lasted for WAY too long, longer than Holy Other. That would've been annoying but tolerable. Then after a few minutes intermission, the man himself took the stage in his awesome stage structure. I was so excited I've been a fan of his for years and while I wasn't crazy about his latest album I LOVED everything before this. He's one of my favourite recording artists. When he started it was alright, but after about ten minutes of a solid bass drone and terrible broken glass noises I started to become upset. He played 2 songs that didn't have a straight bass assault throughout, at one point, my friend's girlfriend thought she was going to vomit from so much bass. I wish I were exaggerating. The acoustics of the venue (The Electric Factory in Philadelphia) didn't help at all and the speakers were over-modulating but it was still nothing like any of his songs. It was so disappointing I don't even know what to do.

There's nothing out there like this. Superb music with an innovative, interesting show. I recommend this to just about any one.

I have heard people griping about how nobody danced but just stood there and stared like deer caught in headlights..that in my book is why this show was sooo damn amazing! If you were there to dance then you were at the wrong show!

I have been to many shows and events and this one definitely is at the top of the list! What an unforgettable amazing night! I bought tickets as a birthday present for my husband. He said it was the best present he has ever received! We are sad it's over! I highly recommend this show for anyone who is interested in great music, a cutting edge performance and just all around goodness!

Overall it was awesome....started off slow....with none of the visuals....as I had seen the video and all that it took to produce.

This is definitely one of the best shows I have ever seen. Incredible in every way. If you have the chance, see Amon Tobin live.

Mind blowing visuals with the perfect musical score to complement it! Awesome technology! Amon's pushing boundaries!

This was by far the greatest live show I've ever experiences. Amon Tobin's ISAM 2.0 goes above and beyond to deliver the best visual and audio experience. This is a show that must be seen live! I've been to many shows and this just makes everything seem lame. Truly shows that projection mapping done right can attain incredible results.

Aside Tobin's innovative and profoundly talented digital composition skills, the added visual collaboration, incorporating project mapping and digital projection onto the multi-planed cube structure fabricated for event, made this the most immersive and engaging audio/visual spectacle i've ever seen. With the re-emergence of electronic music into the mainstream, some composers have chosen to engage the audience at live performances, bringing the attention from the dance floor back to the artist. The performance of Isam 2.0 represents a paramount achievement in this new direction for the electronic artist, but as a collaborative work of art, it is also a major accomplishment in the progression of contemporary art and music.

Amazing sound & visual experience. There are a lot of YouTube videos on the ISAM tour, but it's one of those "you have to be there" shows.

Even though we got there late it was still awesome! The stage set up was insane.

Absolutely one of the most mind blowing audio and visual experiences to have witnessed. Even someone who doesn't like electronic music would have their perspective changed by this show. 4 days later and i'm still reeling in awe.

Really incredible. Amazing show that had everything I could've asked for plus stuff I couldn't have thought up. ISAM the album just makes absolute sense when you see this performance. The show brought the album alive.

Not much to say about this, beyond that it was flippin awesome! Seriously, a totally new standard for time and thought put into an electronic get down festival of Bass! Do not miss this, whatever you do. The Internet videos do the show little justice, it needs to be experienced.

First show I've been to and I must say I picked a gem. Stunning visuals and an all around great set. The encore performance was absolutely insane.

Amon put on an amazing show. Thanks for bringing him to Florida!

This was a beautiful, clean one-of-a-kind event. The display was amazing. The visuals were majestic. It was the best sci-fi film I've seen in a long time, it was art, and the music was bold, experimental and inventive. Amon Tobin is an Original.

This was the most amazing show I have ever seen. I've been a longtime fan of Amon Tobin, ever since I heard "Permutations". When ISAM came out, I was caught off guard by the dubstep-style direction he took, but upon the second listen I concluded that this man could do no wrong. He does GOOD dubstep, and I wouldn't even call it that. Naturally I jumped on the tickets as soon as I heard he was coming to Denver. I looked up Youtube videos of the show and once I saw a few seconds of it I stopped watching because I wanted to be dazzled in person. I had no idea what I was in for: I have never seen the type of visual 3D projections that were in use during this show! I was absolutely mesmerized by the stunning visuals this whole show, my mouth agape and the mindbending artistry of it all. Tobin's DJ booth was in the middle of the set in one of the 3D cubes and would occasionally go transparent so you can see him in there rockin' away. IN A SPACESUIT!!!! Then he did two kickass encores that made life even better. This show absolutely blew me away, I will never forget it.

was blown away by the detail in the visual part of the show as well as the music

Amon Tobin provides a show without peer that gives us a glimpse into what the future of psychedelic music can be. He takes the audience on a journey in sight and sound through the cosmos on the back of bass rhythms so deep you can feel the very air you breath vibrating. Absolutely incredible!

Sick show. At a loss for words to describe it. Just go see it. I had a great view and was able to get up close but the system was a bit too loud.. I love my music loud and I love to feel the bass, (believe me I do) but there is a point where it becomes too loud and really rings your ears and you lose out on all of the sounds that the artist is playing. If they turned the lows down just a tiny bit it would have been perfect.

This is without a doubt unlike anything I have ever seen with my eyes!! If you have the chance to see this show and not take it than you're a fool. Saying it's a concert is inaccurate it's more like an audio/visual experience.

I first heard Amon Tobin's music in a skate video from back in the day, and have kept a loose watch on his work since. I have to say, seeing this show live was like adding an entirely new layer to his music that gives me goosebumps when I listen to the songs I heard at Isam Live. The visuals were amazing to say the least; it felt like I was in another world.

the show started an hour late and the warm up set was way too long... but once the show started it was AMAZING. the sound system at the Hammerstein ballroom is astounding and enhanced the experience greatly.

I went last year to the Brooklyn Masonic Temple to see ISAM and was blown away by the visual and auditory symmetry that unfolded before my eyes and ears. Seeing v2.0 was even more awe inspiring, as new visuals were introduced into the highly intricate and well thought out choreography of advanced sensory programming. With Capt. Tobin wearing an astronaut suit, he commanded a spaceship which traveled deep into the Amon galaxy. I'm not sure I've come back from this new dimension, but when that moment arrives, I'll have a lot of work to do describing exactly what I experienced. I've been a fan since 1994 and to follow Amon after all these years, witnessing the evolution of his work is a blessing. I know no other musician who takes such care in finding sounds, and then carefully layering them together, with the precision and passion that Amon does. He has set the bar for innovation in the electronic music field, and I eagerly await ISAM v3.0.

Dayum... I thought I knew from youtube vids that this would be interesting but honestly, for this cat, it was just waaaayyyy too hard edged. Visually stunning but wow... I like my music loud but this wasn't quite music and just too overpowering. There were two young ladies in the lobby having complete meltdowns. That says it all for me. But if you like that sort of thing, you'll be floored. The venue however, top notch. Excellent theater with great staff that ran things very very well. 5 stars for the Fox in Pomona!

Amon was great but the 2 acts before sucked!!!.. mainly because of the terrible sound set up they had, whomever set their sound up should be fired! you could hardly hear any top end or vocals because the bass was sooooo out of whack. and normally i love the bass, but not at the expence of all the clarity and performance.

Amon tobin was amazing but he started to late. The concert was on a sunday and Monday is a working day so we had to leave before he finished. Emika & Eskmo were good but the took a lot of the night time.

Enough said. Truly one of the best live performances of the year.

The visuals were full and rich. Any good stage show should be this impressive. One excellent example is Phillip Glass "1000 Airplanes on the Roof." I was just as amazed by the staging of "Wicked" at the Pantages. That being said, I would have appreciated more of a tease from the start of the show, letting the audience become accustomed to the blank face of the stage forms, which would subtly and gradually begin to come to life as Amon ripped through some of his best material from Permutation, Foley Room and Adventures in Foam. My tiny issue is that the show was a visual assault from the very beginning, which did not allow me any amount of anticipation, as a good storyteller would do. After a short while I became visually numb and just began to pick out the repeated shapes and gestures. At that point, I realized that I had come to hear Amon's music, and the visuals were a cool implementation of performing arts design technology that supported the music at best. I think an opportunity was missed to seduce the audience with some well-executed showmanship and storytelling.

The show was Sooo good... Speechless. First off, the sound system at the music box is insanely awesome. The bass makes the hair on your arms stand up and pushes you back in your seat. The mood, interior decor and intimate atmosphere is very cool like a haunted opera house. Bar service was great but very pricey. Men's restroom line was longer than I've ever see a line for a men's restroom. The women were in and out in half the time not sure what's up with that. As for the Amon Tobin show... Mind blowing! Drove home from the show in total silence just trying to soak it all in.

I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of most of Amon's music, but either way I didn't want to miss the visual creation that he's touring with. Words can't really explain the visual display that was projected onto the 3-dimension geometric stage set, but it definitely took things to a whole new level. The set was just under an hour and mostly atmospheric sounds that went with the visual display. After this he played a few more songs for an encore that were a little more interesting and had more of a dub step type beat. He finished it off with a short additional encore that was back to the more mellow music. This is one of the few occasions where I would recommend a balcony seat.

I would not miss this! My mind was blown visually.

best music, best visuals-- i would see him again very soon! an all-around amazing show. he played 2 encores!!!

Worth every penny, sick show for real! The psychedelic cubes sync to the music, it's amazing!

The show was incredible! I have never experienced anything like it before. He is an incredibly talented musician and artist.

I was blown away by amons isam show , it was by far the most amazing visual experience ive seen ... The technology and hard work put into this must have been crazyyy!!

Amon Tobin's performance was unlike anything I've ever seen. The combination of his unusual, experimental music combined with the ethereal light show that was projected on to his tetris-like structure on stage was out of this world. I will absolutely go see him again next chance I get. His show simulated a psychedelic trip, even though I was totally sober. Go see him if you get the chance - it's worth every penny.

eskmo was pretty great. amon tobin was simply phenomenal. only reason why i gave this show 4 stars was because there were two tools being pretty obnoxious.

Amon Tobin's music coupled with the innovative visual display was an unparalleled experience! Moving, exciting and simply mesmerizing. I truly believe this show ups the bar for live music and I hope other artists take notice and feel inspired.

Never have I been so visually immersed into a piece of art/music. The ISAM tour is a truly unique experience that anyone who appreciates art, or even good music should see. It's a one of a kind experience that I would love to see again. A+! Great job Amon Tobin

Arrived at the theater around 8 pm just as Emika was going on stage. I was quite impressed by her music (listen to her online) and intrigued by her seductive submissive demeanor. A lot of people were comparing her to the likes of Bjork, which I could agree to a certain extent but emika keeps greater composure. Eskmo was next and I felt let down. He had great beats and creativity but when he built his beats there was no climax or breakdown, his music would just build and then plateau. Amon was amazing. Hands down. The AV that his graphics crew put together was excellent and the new ISAM album is amazing(requires bass for full experience). Amon delivered to say the least and I am happy to have seen the artist at least once in my life.

If you are looking for a unqiue experience where the special effects are giving a visualization of the music, this is your show! This show is like star tours on cyber-punk acid with avant garde sound of Amon Tobin. A truly unforgettable experience of electronic music.. You are going on an adventure if you choose to attend this concert.

Amon Tobin delivers what could be the most incredible audio visual experience that exists today. It was perhaps the move incredible thing I have ever witnessed. A true masterpiece. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should see this in their life.

Stunning. The visual/ audio display was just incredible. The technology applied worked perfectly with his music.

This show was one of the most incredible displays of audiovisual mastery i have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I had only started listening to amon tobin a few months ago, but have been a fan of eskmo for quite awhile. after listening to ISAM and seeing videos online of this tour, i HAD to see it for myself. Eskmo played an awesome opening set and Amon, the genius that i've realized that he is, blew my mind indefinitely. this show i will never forget

Check out the other artists on the Ninja Tune label. They're great!

emika went on first with some tasty bassy tracks she crooned over, had some solid beats and a good voice. eskmo came up next and definitely had some skill with the live mixing and samples w/ some interesting beats but i quickly grew tired of his awkwardly similar sounds and progressions throughout his set, which was a tad long. once amon tobin came on everything changed, the visuals on the structure synced with the innovative music of amon was mindblowing. found myself in awe most of the time, amazing show overall

Drove up from San Diego just to see Amon Tobin. The area was interesting, if not a little creepy. There was almost no parking so we had to drive down a few blocks and park in front of some houses that looked oddly like frat houses. Got a few odd eyes on us as we walked to the Fox. The fox itself is an interesting venue. It doesn't have very good seating arrangements, but it was decently large. I didn't know we wouldn't be allowed upstairs, which was kind of a bummer. We ended up on the railing on the furthest back platform as close to center as we could get. Eskimo put the mic down and they began to collect his instruments and the anticipation began. It took about 15 minutes for them to get his set ready. At 15 minutes (around 10:40) the curtains swung open to applause, and the music began. As incredible as the videos of this set were, seeing it live was a whole different experience. The visuals went along amazingly to the music. He of course was sitting in a cube in the middle of the set doing whatever he does for the performance. For those of you who have heard the ISAM album, it starts off somewhat slow with a few interjections of bass & kick. At certain points in the set he got into sections that were almost dubstep or complextro. They would continue for a short period of time then drop down into interesting sound effects. At the end of the ISAM set Amon came out and put his hands up to applause. After a minute or two he went back into his cube and began spinning some traditional drumstep (he opened with 8 bit bitch, and I don't remember the rest of his songs). Once again the visuals were absolutely incredible. After playing a few songs he came out again, then went back for one more time. The last portion was a little more downtempo and seemed kind of like an outro.

The first two acts with Emika and Eskmo were just so so. This lasted 2 hours and my wife who is not very into the music was quite bored. Then Amon came on and the presentation and music was very good. I would have showed up at 10:00 if there had been any mention of timelines on the website. Even the staff working there were clueless on when Amon was coming on.

I was disappointed that there was absolutely no dance beats. I was bored after 20 minutes and left after an hour. It's a cool stage show but without dancing it was pretty lame. Tech gamers would enjoy

I didn't hear about the stage design until once the show started. Mind. Blown. Great show!

ISAM is a landmark breakthrough in live Electronica. That is as simply as I can put it. From the moment he hit the stage the crowd was electrified and the energy did not dissipate until the final curtain. As advertised, the light show was unlike anything I have personally ever witnessed at a music venue. The sound from the front of house was top notch throughout. Even the absolute lowest frequencies never seemed to washed out or to be too powerful as is the norm at this kind of show.

Probably the best electronic music show I'll ever see. Musically and visually it was stunning. Amon Tobin has always been one of my favorites and I've seen him live multiple times, but this time was something else. His music just keeps getting better. The stage setup, though,... wow. I've seen video installments that synced to the music before, pretty impressive ones, but this blew them all away. Plus, Eskmo, the opener, was highly entertaining. I've heard his music online, but had no idea he'd be that good live. An actual performer.

The title says all, if you have the opportunity SEE THIS. Unlike anything else, truly spectacular. All of my friends got ground floor tickets, which were sold out by the time I was trying to purchase mine, thus I had to sit alone. By the time the show started this was irrelevant. It wouldn't matter where or with who you were sitting, this is truly a modern marvel. Eskmo was a real sweet treat of an opening act as well.

I've been in many electronic concerts...I was a dj myself in a time, but this one was memorable. It's like going to Neptune or cross 200 years in the future. Totally recommended for those who are not fear of challenge their minds.
