Good ear

Actually I knew he played it in Finland but not the title, someone on reddit finally solved it :-).

Heard that Richard got somewhere around $300k for this gig. Probably gets $500k-$1mm for the big festivals. 

Cool story bro.

I don't know how that would be possible. I'm no good at judging sizes of crowds, but there couldn't have been more than a thousand people there (I would guess there was less than five hundred people there, but let's say so for this here calculation):

$300 000 / 1 000 people = $300 per person

I paid 70€ for the ticket and spent an additional 22€ on beer, let's say the average person spent 100€ (There was no merch on sale that I saw). Let's say $1 is roughly 1€.

Each punter spends $100, but they pay $300 for Richard, so that's a loss of $200 per visitor, and that's before paying for venue, staff, the other artists, advertising...

I don't know why I did this instead of getting five minutes extra sleep tonight but there you have it.

There was 6,000 - 8,000 people there, from what I was told. 

max Funkhaus capacity is 30.000 and it was pretty packed even outside

Am I really that bad at judging crowd sizes? That number is like if everyone from my home town was at that show. I'm just going to shut up, I'm probably only embarrassing myself

But yes, if there where 8,000 people there then if you redo my "calculations" then they would instead be making a ~$62 profit from each visitor (before you subtract for staff, venue, other artists etc).

hi, do you know where to find the video 1080p
Aphex Twin Live @ Funkhaus (Berlin, Germany) (November 1, 2018), on YouTube removed =\

Worst and most expensive aphex gig I've ever been to in retrospect. Rich was top notch but was too big and rammed. 

Was a pretty hard set with a lot of weird mixing sometimes lol. I'm currently reconstructing and re-recording the mix for my own pleasure and of course for the people who couldn't attend. Not all tracks 100% accurate but almost (and less FX fuckery). Will post it here :-).

(At the end of „Vord Hosbn“ Richard mixed in Cannibal Cooking Club‘s „Meat You“ very subtle. I excluded it because it wasn’t an important part of the mix, more like an experiment before he decided to bring in the next track)

I thought that part was pretty cool actually. Funny what differences people appreciate!

Not saying it was not cool, but it was not worth getting that track just to mix in a small loop in the background :-D. Also I'm not always a fan of his "off-phrase-mixing" when he doesn't cue the beat on the 1, but on the 2 or even 3. Sometimes it sounds interesting, sometimes just weird ^^. That was also the case with this "Meat You" loop btw.
