World-renowned DJ and super-producer Moby dropped his 11th studio album Innocents in October 2013, impressing fans yet again with the announcement that it was entirely recorded in his Los Angeles apartment. Moby is best known for the 1999 musical milestone, “Play,” which not only sold 10 million copies and produced eight singles, but also turned EDM into a household name. In 2013, Moby entertained ticket holders with both old and new songs, covering popular and lesser-known material from all 11 of his studio albums. Between a small tour in support of “Innocents,” as well as a handful of west coast DJ sets and festivals, Moby keeps concertgoers in both theaters and rave tents happy with his massive energy and stage presence. His newest album "Innocents" is an ambient and introspective LP. It features a broad range of guest collaborators, including Skylar Grey, Cold Specks, Mark Lanegan, Damien Jurado and Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips.
Cycling through several pseudonyms, Moby had his breakthrough as Moby with his single "Go." In 1993, Moby signed with Mute Records and in 1999, his fifth studio album "Play" sold millions, sky-rocketing him into super stardom. “Innocents” is the first album Moby has made that is self-produced, and this new creative approach has helped generate some of the artist's most mesmerizing and ambient electro-pop in years. Considered by AllMusic as "one of the most important dance music figures of the early 90s," Moby will not disappoint in the days to come. From early 1990s rave anthems and forays into break-beat hardcore to the gorgeous melodies and string arrangements on classic albums, like “Play,” “18” and “Wait for Me,” a Moby concert runs the stylistic gamut when it comes to music. It's like watching a master DJ make a great mix tape right before your eyes.

Make sure to check out Coldplay's new tour... amazing lights and sound. Moby is a great performer
I've been a fan of Moby's music for years. Nothing's better to lounge around to. Plus, he's got some great uptempo, clubby/techo(or whatever it's called these days) tracks when you feel like actually moving. When I saw that he was performing live, I had NO idea what to expect. I know there are actual instruments and actual musicians on his albums. So..... Moby behind some turntables? Moby surrounded by computers like some evil wizard? But Moby with an actual BAND!? With a guitar (a Gibson SG, no less! Channneling Angus Young, maybe?) A very pleasant surprise, indeed! I must say, the man rocked out. Guitar solos and all. I do think there was some lip/instrument synching going on some songs. I imagine that it's well nigh impossible to get certain tracks to sound remotely the same outside a studio, but I'm not offended. This was a rock show, pure and simple. Lights, amplifiers, you name it. I'd absolutely see him again.
Moby's concert was amazing. First, the venue is small enough for you to stand as closer or as further as you want, and still hear the music clearly. Second, Moby's songs are so varied, from rock, through ambient, to techno, on stage as well. And his performance is personal. Extremely recommended!
Moby was amazing! I have always followed his music but this was the first time we went to see him live. The Music Hall is small so the setting was intimate and Moby rocked the joint! His rave background was quite evident because the backbeat was deep and throbbing and kept the crowd swaying even through some of the slower numbers. My only quibble with his set was when he asked his opening act (Kelly Scar, I think, who is also part of his band) to sing a song to her 2 yr old son, which was sweet and sentimental but totally was out of sync with the rest of his show. But the rest of his show was just awesome!
MOBY was amazing. His singers, band and the opening act. I mean seriously. I cried, I laughed and I danced. Blown away. This is in my top five concerts of all time. And I've seen U2, The Police, Cat Power, The Strokes, Depeche Mode, The Cure Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc. The Music Hall of Williamsburg was such a great and intimate venue for this. It's my new favorite place to see shows.
Moby was spectacular! Last time I'd seen him live was in North Carolina in 2003 and I'd imagined this show would be more technical with lights & more "showy" but it was so grassroots & small & amazing!! The Music Hall of Williamsburg was the perfect venue to see him. The musicians he performed with were outstanding and displayed his music with authenticity. A special shout out for Kelli Scarr who's vocal range is incredible...I will be checking out her work TODAY! The only issue that almost ruined the evening for me was a pair of drunk German teenage girls who disturbed everyone around them by spilling beer, taking incessant photos and talking at inappropriate times during the show....I wish that the venue had security around to monitor this issue because they would have been kicked out for the remainder of the crowd to enjoy the show. I liked Moby's mellow attitude - and the intimacy of the entire evening.
Very cool concert !!! Cozy nice place, great lights
moby, kelli and all of the musicians really put together a great performance that had us dancing at the music hall in williamsburg! he covered a lot of material in the 2 hour set on a small stage in a very intimate setting where they were just a few feet away from me and the crowd. it takes an incredible amount of energy to perform at that level a few nights a week in different locales and so i thank you moby and allof the other musicians and performers for a great evening of fabulous music!
amazing show! great performance!! so many great songs... be encore ever..
A friend just recently turned me on to Moby, then I learned of this concert at Rams Head Live! I invited him and he was excited. I learned Moby hadn't performed in the States in years. We both enjoyed the show immensely! What an artistic talent! Kelli and the female soloist were wonderful too. Really enjoyed the whole show! Rams Head Live is a great venue and I look forward to going back for more!
totally awesome cant wait to see him again - hope its soon
Energy, lights, dance, rock!!! It was an awesome show. He played some tracks from Wait for Me which were beautiful and then mixed in the usual huge hits as well. He joked with the audience and was very funny. His band was tight and polished. Well worth the money and a great experience. I'd definitely see him again.
It's great to have Moby back in the US again. It's been a while since he toured here, especially with a live band. The show was amazing. It was a great combination of new material and old. From his version of Honey, to the amazing Feelin So Real, to Pale Horses the show was incredible. Great light show and great fun. Kelli Scarr opened the show and has an amazing voice. She also backed Moby and took lead on a few tracks. The entire band was very talented and the singers all have some pipes! All in all a great show that I would LOVE to see again.
Very organic sound, with all instruments & no mixing. Far exceeded my expectations!
One of the best shows I'v ever seen. Moby is amazing!! Personal, great interaction with the audience, explains the reason on why he wrote the songs, fun person, great band. Overall, EXCELLENT Show!!!
