Of course ,the music was great in the two shows.
Now ,with td tree or bootmoon every fan know that paris 81 was great with very good tracks (silver scale ...)with good ambience in the end.
But I think that in a show as the sbe 2005 ,the ambience was better because there were only hardfans.It's so good for the feeling between the musicians and the peoples.
Paris 81 was fantastic for me and is again a big memory from my life but i remember that by near me they were people just curious to see an electronic band (it's respectable) and i heard "pink floyd is better"or others peoples here just for smoking grassy substances.The really fans were ,i think ,only 50% of the assistance.
Now every fan has a big complicity with the music of td from so long time ,and i was feeling it in the sbe 2005.
It's important for the quality of the show.
It' s impossible to forget a show as the sbe 2005
i'm waiting the dvd

I agree that the SBE was a brilliant night and (mostly) got rid of the bad feelings I had with seeing TD perform the year before in London. However, 'for me' the 81 concerts always edge it, as most of the music was new, TD still had a mystic around them, the technology was something I hadn't seen before....and the music (and volume) was stunning. The audience aspect didn't come in to it, I didn't know anyother fans at this point, therefore there was 'only' the music, with no social aspect.
Since then TD have themselves opened up, showing a great warmth with their audience, which has brought in some newer fans but as led to a rather more tradiition concert which has put some people off as well.
sort of to the scots i suppose
