Hell yes I was there. 
That was a F***ing SICK Show!!! Everyone was feeling it - I've never seen anything like that here before that wasn't in a club or afterhours. That was one of the most amazing live shows I've ever seen in LA. I had a blast and was amazed at the diversity of the crowd and the unification in good musical taste. 

Young, old, conservative.... everyone was dancing! It was freaking wonderful to see proof that house and electronica music is so good that it brings everyone together. I was also proud that house music could interest and touch so many people to even come out on a Sunday night. I would have brought my parents to that show! Props to Bossacucanova and Royksopp too.  

I have a mpg snippet from Basement Jaxx for anyone who wants to check it out. 

XXOO

Well...you really should have. 

I'm probably in the minority on this list when I say this, but the Jaxx to 
me are like what Howard Stern is to radio hosts, or what that little 
Japanese guy who wins the Nathan's hot dog eating contest every single year 
without fail is to competitive eating. They're just EONS and EONS AHEAD of 
the comeptition. I know of no other house producers who can compare to the 
Jaxx' innovation and more importantly, ability to generate 100% pure 
unadulterated JOY. 

It was really, really incredible to see the ENTIRE Hollywood Bowl pulsating 
up and down in unison to some of the funkiest, most physically engaging 
music I've ever heard. Besides their hits, there were crazy mashups, and 
sick vocalists, and by the end, there was an entire samba school of drums 
and dancers, a horn section, a drummer, another percussionist, guitar, and 8 
freaks dressed in ape suits making for the biggest onstage party I've ever 
seen in my life. 

Sick, sick, sick shit.
