Orbital Archive Live Gig - 7th October 1994 - Brixton in London 

I think I speak on behalf of all of the fans when I say that I hope this live set stays posted here on RU-vid permanently after this event!

My wife and I's first gig together. We'd been dating 8 months. Nearly 29 years later, still seeing the boys when we can (Bristol 2023 next)

Attended on the Saturday. I'll be taking memories of that night to my grave. The atmosphere was amazing. I'll never forget the disorientation of hearing Belinda Carlisle's vocal breakout before being twisted into something heavenly. Playing from the center of the dancefloor was pure genius because, by 94, the faceless rave djs were becoming "superstar DJs" and the whole vibe was changing, because the crowd started fixating their attention on "the act" rather than the other people dancing (rave changed forever once that started happening). Moving to the centre, brought back some of that (by then) old-school atmosphere, where you felt connected to the people around you - they were the super-stars for a change and orbital were the central part of it. Words can hardly express how good these gigs were.

This set is nearly 30 years old , absolutely insane.

I remember the dry ice, the red lasers, the stage in the middle of the dancefloor...I remember being so high, like nothing I'd ever experienced before...

All my life, I wanted to hear Crash And Carry live. Needs to return to the set.

Can you imagine in 1994, you have Prodigy, Chems, Orbital, Leftfield and many DJs all being at their peak.

I’ve loved Orbital for 10 years now but I was only 4 years old they played this set 🤯 been making music as long as I’ve been alive ❤

That transition from Forever into Sad But True will forever be etched in my memory. Proper old skool gear sounding as raw as hell. This tour was my first Orbital gig and I will never forget it. Tickets booked for Nottingham Rock City in 2023, cannot wait.

You can tell this set is from back in the day when the boys used to tour with the big synths - it sounds so much more analogue. Thanks for sharing Paul and Phil!

Bye bye '22. Hello '23. So glad Orbital and other musical artists from my yoof are still bangin' out the chhonz. This set must be a mid '90s one from what i have heard so far 😀

Bloody hell, it's awesome what 10 quid could buy back in the day

Snivilisation live… seldomly hear that. I always put that album on the first day of snow.

This would make a great vinyl album release! hint hint

Memorables años 90s rave. Forza Orbital

I saw them on this tour in Preston, Lancashire. Simply blew me away!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing them in Bristol this year my 1st Orbital gig 😀

Great set.. unexpected rave in my living room tonight 😬

One of the greatest nights of my life

I ate fire for em on stage at Tribal Gathering in June or July 1994, love em, their music is just so spot on......

Please do a 30th Anniversary tour for Snivilization!

I'm wondering if this is from the Brixton academy set where they totally confused me (and a lot of other folks) by playing in the centre of the floor, in what i thought was the sound/lighting centre! Had to do a 180° spin to see the boys and their setup. Whichever set this ends up being, thanks replaying it Phil & Paul (and Steve). Looking forward to the new album in '23. Big Love as ever!

This is my life soundtrack from the nineties.

Sending big hugs 🤗 and thanks from Dublin. All the best for the New Year 🙂👍 ❤️ 🔊

Great set ! Hope it stays on the channel after it’s over ! I want to replay it tomorrow night ! Orbital 2023 !!! New album , New tour ! Seeing you guys in Belfast & hopefully Emily Eavis asks you guys to play that little festival she runs !! Good luck for 2023

Hearing this set is helping promote "Attached" as my favorite ever Orbital song.

Yeahhh🎉

Crash and Carry! What an awesome set, from an amazing year!

So nostalgic! Thank you!

That live version of Crash and Carry is insane. For me it was the best period of Orbital combining my fave 2 albums live. Forever/kein trink wasser/attached are masterpieces and Impact is at its best on this tour. Wow

I saw this but at Norwich UEA LCR the next night. Big nasty blue quad stack sound system. Thankyou. Well done YT for knowing what gigs I was nearly at.

Saw Orbital first at Brighton Event, Midi Circus, 1993, and have seen them many, many times since. My favourite gig was the allnighter at Osaka Zepp in 2002, probably the best dance event I've been to in Japan.

This set is in such high quality! 30 year fan, here. This really takes me back! Thank you for this! Much love from Seattle, WA

This is everything.

Great to hear more tracks from Snivilisation. It’s my fav album from them and Are We Here? is a legendary track. Hope they will reissue that album!

What a happy new year! Snivilisation at it's finest! Great times,great album, greatest live band ever! Been gigging 30 years now and still no one comes close (maybe leftlield live @ Montreux) that's about it. Peace to ya all. 22 becomes 23!

Halcyon+on+on!

GREAT SOUND'S IT HAS NO DATE'S !!!!!!!!!!

The come down stabs on chime.. sheesh kebabulance

Hey, it was on Mom's birthday ! RIGHTEOUS !

WOW!

This was my first Orbital gig. Brings back so many memories. Amazing!

Party on Ceres asteroid belt in 2455. Love heavy beautiful Orbital rave.

Still bummed that no 93 sets went up (*cough* November *cough* San Francisco *cough*) but I suppose this is a decent enough substitute.

I remember seeing Orbital in 2006 I was blown away!! ❤

I was there. The raised stage was amazing at the academy. Fantastic gig as akways Hats off to 'Pressure of Speech' that had the whole crowd hypnotised and dancing like puppets with a super-extended mix of 'X-Beats'

Love it. I was at the Cardiff Uni show a few days earlier which is still one of my all time favourite Orbital gigs.

This is the kind of sounds, I mostly listening to ! Others with lyric's kind of music, mostly are taken" VERY BACK SEATS !!!!! "

Saw them in Atlanta in 96 probably the best concert I've ever seen, such a wonderful experience.

A 20 year old me was there! Thanks boys for making me very happy to hear this again.

I hope they play Kein Trink Wasser

The perfect intro ....

Fucking amazing guys! Thank you so much! Broke into the tent to see you at phoenix festival a year or two later! You were, and are, the real deal. Loved you at womad!

I hope they play chime

Sounding sweet here in Melbourne, Australia. Happy New Year!

I was there! Seen these guys 2 or 4 times. Such amazing soundscapes. I always use them to convert electronic music doubters. Usually works lol

Absolutley beautiful.

What an enjoyable little trip down memory lane! Thanks for posting this Paul.

A great set to end up the year on which you were the artist I listened the most ;D

Loving the intro music, actually. Track1: Forever

Top sound production on this.

Very happy I subscribed earlier this month so I got notified of this and was able to watch listen live. Thanks for something absolutely amazing Orbital 👏 ❤️ 💕

I was lucky to be at the Brixton New Years Eve gig (93 I think) this reminds me of it, never forgotten the feeling 🤯👌

Hope to see you in 2023 😁👍

I did leicester uni on this tour, plus have the bootleg cassette

...YASSSSSSS....Cannae wait!!!...ah've got 2 Tickets tae th' Glesga gig👏✊👌

Thanks for the gig comments ... direct fly to Brixton 94. Cheers from BCN!

I, born in 1975, from a wild country, but constantly following, since 1996, the progress of the team. An amazing feeling every time after drying, any album! You play music that I understand. Thank you!

great 90s

Love that the track from Shopping is in this set

Laaaaah!!!

👍🏽looking forward 👨🏻‍🚀

I was there... Amazing 🎵🎶🎵🎶😁

Timeless.

You make heaven a place on earth.

1994 - Ah, those were the days son... Sounds like yesterday to me, fresh as F**k

Wwwwwhat a finish. 🕉Thank🙏you🕉

Heaven.

Another Orbital live event that I'll never forget, especially standing at the crowd barrier before the show talking to both Paul & Phil about Prototype 21. Brings a slight tear to the eye. There was a special magical atmosphere that night. Another monumental event from the same year that needs to be uploaded is the Albert Hall gig.

saw them a bit earlier that year with similar setlist at Triple X festival in Amsterdam in the fenomenal setting of an old gas tank at the Westergas Fabriek.

Thank you so much for this. Just a balls out set. If you ever sell it digitally I'd scoop it right up. Just damn.

What a gig, still have my ticket! 🙂

This is great! I wasn't at this actual gig, but I was at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall gig on the same tour with Pressure of Speech supporting. I was only 21 at the time. Cracking gig and happy memories! :

Нас вывели на вас!

Thank you so much. Happy New Year 🎉

still got the tape lol from the old days .

Awesome waves 🌊

LOOOOOVE this!!!! Please leave it in the channel!!!!♥️♥️♥️

I LOVES IT !!!!!

Look after everyone, everyone, bless up, here's to 23

It was amazing really that they were able to achieve this sound on tour without any computers, tablets or even digital synths. They had so much gear on stage with them.

Bravo!
