Shadow's only problem, in my opinion, was Lateef. But I really was not feeling Massive that night (apart from a few sublime moments, usually when Horace Andy was on stage). To me it felt too staged and lacking in spontaneity. Maybe they've done the same songs the same way a few too many times. Maybe it was just the absence of Daddy G. Maybe the show never could have lived up to the hype in my head - I mean, DJ Shadow and Massive Attack! - but for whatever reason I wasn't feeling the magic.
