The show was shit, it rained and it was probably the worst live performance ive ever seen from him.. Not his fault though.

It has potential, but performing with your back to the crowd is like spitting in its face and it is totally boring.

Standing infront of a huge screen just pushing buttons is stupid... Next time face the other way and dance around at least

The other lemur thing he had during earls court was see through but only had a few faders and some buttons Wohooooo! It's all pre-sequenced and he even admits this, fans just don't understand that at all. I like some of his music but his live shows is a frenzy of lights and LED screens, all the synths are practically controlled via clock data send from the DAW and is there for the quality rather than setting shit up from scratch. It's nice too see it... once, cause it'll be the same next time and the time after that etc... His music is very well produced and has a character too it but he likes minimalistic music so it explains why so little of his tracks has that euphoric feel too it. My opinion about haters vs fans is "for each his own right?" Some of his older tech house tracks even inspires me to make things and to be different.

See through lemur thing:

I'm not sure how much of his set was improvised anyways.

He sucks. He claims all everyone does is press play, then presents a giant ass play button and presses it on stage. He claims he's a genius in the studio. If you're so great, then why don't you actually perform live on studio gear? Oribital has been doing this forever:

That actually takes knowledge and talent, and is much better than hearing mau5's "all sounds the same" electro pop-step.
