I figured at the time that it would be too much effort to do their studio magic on stage - so, I figured they faked the live sounding bits. (Kiss did it for parts of their first live album, why not AoN?)<BR/><BR/>One night, sitting behind the counter at the computer lab in college, well after midnight, I was cruising around this new fangled thing called the World Wide Web. (Actually, now that I think about it, I may have been using Gopher space - one of the Web's precursors, but I digress.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I found a bunch of pictures of Art of Noise at a live show. Then I found a bunch more, and then even more. Turns out that AoN is quite a popular live act.<BR/><BR/>What I love is that they had more people on the stage in this video than an Earth, Wind & Fire with the Commodores jam session - all to reproduce what two synth bangers do in the studio.Jerichohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04190325786779220020noreply@blogger.com
