Description
The last band on the south stage at the Pink Pop festival on Sunday the 19th of May 2002 were the main act of the day, Faithless. I prefered the more serene parts of the show, the highlights of their show were once again the heavy beat songs like the too short version of Insomnia and their biggest hit God is a DJ, of which the original video was partly filmed during a former Pink Pop-performance. But the highlight of their show this time was We Come One. During that song singer/rapper Maxi Jazz instructed the audience to sing the one-part, and he did not have to use much persuasion to do that. What followed was an impressive collaboration between band, singer and the crowd. Jazz improvised a bit too, I remember a part where he said something like tell it too Arafat and Sharon, we come … ONE. Some seismographic agency in our province Limburg also registers the movement of the earth during Pink Pop and once again Faithless was the band that led the fans to create the biggest turmoil in that respect. After finishing the job Maxi Jazz also asked the people to go and visit the Amnesty International stand that is always present at Pink Pop-festivals and try to do the best they can in order to create respect for basic human rights with governments, who don’t consider those valuable. The performance of Faithless on this day was good, but not great. It lacked some stuff, which I can’t exactly put my finger on, to qualify for greatness, but I rate the show with a 7.0. This limited album also features five bonus tracks recorded at the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium a month later, at the 30th of June. Fans of progressive trance and electronic probably need this
