While a lot of the late-comers were still stuck in line waiting to
get through the security checkpoints, I was in, I was ready, I was
psyched, and I didn't know why. In all of my years of listening to
music, and trying to keep that list as varied as possible, I have
never heard anything from Moby. All I knew was something about
techno, and he supposedly has a rock album out. Hmmm. Then Zoltar,
one of the Q101 radio dudes there, introduced Moby, and this
psychotic, energetic, and working the early crowd to the hilt, dude
comes out, starts banging on everything in sight, and some really
cool music starts filling the Tinley Park air with every strike. I
am now becoming enlightened by music that would be Moby, and know
that I'll be
checking out his slot the next time I'm in the CD store. Fusing
techno dance music with a rock-like quality, I was totally impressed
at the energy this guy put forth, and Moby has at least one new fan.
As far as the songs he played, well, not knowing anything from
him previously, I will say that he did one hell of a cover of
"Paranoid" from Black Sabbath. All I know is that the
body-surfers were surfin', the crowd was getting into it, and Moby
was a great way to start the day. TWO THUMBS UP for Moby.
