Junkie XL Live Recently?

Hey guys. I haven't seen Junkie XL in years. The only times I have seen him have been at open air events, never a club. He is coming to my city sometimes soon with Tommie Sunshine. Just if anyone has seen Junkie or Tommie lately? Trying to see if it would be worth it.

All I know is that his new album is terrible, but in Chicago he played Moby - Go w/ the acapella from "Enjoy the Silence" layered over the top, which sounds like it was probably awesome.

I saw both Tommi and Junkie XL at the guvernment in toronto in 2006. It was amazing. Junkie XL only really plays 1 hour sets when I have seen him in toronto, but there were a lot of DJs going on stage so I imagine they didnt give him much time. He plays his own stuff, does a live PA but its very good. I am not too fond of Tommie Sunshine's productions but his set was amazing. Tons of energy. He is a friendly guy too. I think it will be a fun show. May not blow your mind, but well worth the money

I've heard conflicting reviews of his recent shows, but everything I've heard about Tommie Sunshine is that he's absolutely attrocious.

he ripped it in boston when i saw him a few years ago, but his new album does indeed suck.

Seen him there in the Melkweg in Amsterdam in March and thought he was very good live granted I wouldn't be to familiar with any of his tunes that he played.

I saw him during SXSW, he played basically the exact track list he did at Ultra which basically includes his entire new album. I enjoyed it but you basically know exactly what the show is going to be before you see it.

On a sidenote, I found it pretty funny that at his SXSW show and Ultra, he is wearing the exact same jumper that he wore on his latest cd cover.

And heres the tracklist from Ultra -

1 Synasthesia 2008 ( originally released in 1999, but remixed for this tour!!)
2 Booming back at you
3 4 minutes, Madonna, dirty dub remix
4 Go the silence, Unique remix mash-up I did just for live-shows
5 Talk 2008, A new remix of the famous Coldplay songs, just for live-shows
6 Today 2008, A new version of today just for live-shows
7 Beauty Never Fades 2008, originally released in 2003 but remixed for live-shows
8 Poem 1967, with Steve Aoki
9 More feat. Lauren Rocket
