DJ Shadow: Live at Oxford Sound City (10.30.97)
As a special treat, here's what is quite possibly DJ Shadow's best ever live performance. Recorded for the BBC on October 30, 1997, the set witnesses Shadow, aka Josh Davis, at the height of his powers. After "Endtroducing", before "Psyence Fiction"--the confidence and creativity displayed in this recording is striking.Highlights include a preacher sounding off on rock n' roll right before the incendiary "High Noon": "It hooks young people. And they become a part of this hooked generation and their lives are RUINED until they can shake themselves of this filthy beat and music and words that produces revolution, sex and drugs!" At the 31:19 mark, Shadow lays a sparkling piano part over "Midnight in a Perfect World" that casts the song in a whole new light.
Enjoy, and remember a time when Shadow was unbeatable.

Do you have something against The Private Press? It's a great album.
It's not bad, but he was at his peak here without a doubt.
I'm sorry Mike for publishing this on my blog without mentioning your site! My mistake! It's been taken care of.
Does anyone know the very very last song on this - its like a different version of midnight in a perfect world - with the dark piano - it comes in at 31:08. If you know what its called I would appreciate it so much...
It's just a live remix of the song, Andrew. I think it might be the original part before Shadow put all the effects on it. There's a DJ Shadow sample page on the web you can check out, too.
i tried searching on google and i couldnt find the sample page - can you give me the address please? Yeah i thought it might have been live - its kinda gay it isnt an actual song because its an awesome remix. :) Cheers mate
I guess they took it down--too bad, it was a great site. However, the Wiki would seem to have most of the samples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endtroducing.....
