Ame + Booka Shade @ Zoukout 2008
Apologies in advance for the small videos, recorded them off my cell phone. The sound quality is decent for listening I think. Ame's set was waaaay deep and twisted, way too deep for an outdoor festival, the guy was like a mad sientist behind the decks. 
The crowd was pretty lost 
Booka Shade came on right after and played live. Think there was a drummer and keyboardist. The first video was their opening track, last video was their encore. They only played 1hr, don't think they had enough materials. But absolutely amazing, easily the highlight of the night.
Visuals were by some VJs from Womb Tokyo, if you looked at the second Booka Shade video, you'll have an idea of the visuals. Probably the best visuals I've seen at an outdoor party besides Underworld.

Carl Cox came on after Booka Shade. Started out alright but went to shit. At some point there was no bassline at all, just fucking electro-sounding effects that irritated the hell out of me. And Pablo Hossan just kept on going and going on the mic. He also had his cheesy double-C Channel rip-off logo spinning on the screen
And some ethnic fire dancers on stage, WTF 
Armin Van Buuren came on and played a good trance set. Man, since when did a trance party turn into a Hollywood production? The visuals were pretty amazing and all in sync-with the music, ie. they played a video of a girl singing and it was in-sync with the female vox on the track, played some othe tracks and had the lyrics on the visual And he was plugging his State of Trance compilation on the big screen Trance has come a long way Only thing of note was hearing For An Angel and Silence, sure brought back some memories.
LCD Soundsystem played on another stage and caught a bit of them, they were very inventive and interesting, 'cept they started playing some disco-esque tunes that, while groovy, wasn't my cup of tea.
Great music, especially Ame, Booka Shade, and LCD.
