Editing Leftfield (section)

==== The Liveism Tour and Brixton Academy ====

The live tour that followed ''Leftism'' — known as the '''Liveism''' tour — became notorious for the scale and power of Leftfield's custom sound system, which was designed to replicate the cataclysmic bass effect of Jamaican [[sound system]] culture. The system incurred more noise complaints than [[Motörhead]]. In June 1996, during a show at [[Brixton Academy]], the volume caused dust and plaster to fall from the ceiling, resulting in a ban from the venue. Leftfield interpreted the ban as applying to the sound system rather than themselves and eventually returned to Brixton Academy in May 2000. The Liveism tour is widely considered to have elevated dance music from club PAs to major live event status in the UK.
