I hate this venue now. The staff are a bunch of assholes. They give agressive pat downs and security
is constantly
walking around shining flashlights on everyone
. As we were waiting in line to get into the theater, police were arresting
a teenage girl
security brough them. Several times in the balcony, security came around and harrassed people with cell
phone cameras, cameras that clearly made it through security.

The sound was bad too. The vocals are louder than they should be and it shows in the recording. Being in the balcony, the
recording is a little distant, but I was relatively alone so there is no crowd noise to interfere.

The DJ played for at leat an hour longer than a DJ has any right to play. He sucked too, incredibaly non-dynamic, even his cover
of Nitzer Ebb's "Join in the Chant" didn't save him.

The Detroit Electronic Music Festival was this Memorial Weekend as I half expected The Prodigy to make a special appearance until
I saw Throbbing Gristle in Chicago and got a flyer as I left advertising their concert in Chicago the day after Detroit. Oh well.
