[i][b] didnt like the dj booth set up on stage...so gay.

G and D loved the booth on stage they were stoked we moved it there

its a little more personal from djs to crowd, so i can see how the djs would like it...MAYBE. the main dj booth has to be so much nicer then the school dance set up...lol. but if u wanna watch the djs u stare at an ugly end of the club. a big black wall. dont get me wrong the night was awesome, if some bugs were worked out it coulda been one of top night for me...light guy sucked. no CO2!!! love that shit...and the dj set up. props to relode abd godskitchen for bringing in the names.

I had a good time. Spent more money than I wanted to, but oh well.

I must say that I thought Josh & Dave's playing was really improved over the last time I saw them (last feb.). Things seemed to flow a lot better and the crowd was really into it.

It was funny how there was not enough humidity in the room for the LN2 to work. I kept hearing it go off but did not see a cloud of fog but the angel balloon was flapping around from the blast of air. Hehe.

All in all it was a good time.

MrS

yeah, i didn't recognize any of you TAs there once again

i had a great time.....the set was great...i just wish they would have ditched the opening sarah mclaugilin rage track.... i hate that song. at least they got it out of the way.

i also wish they would have spreaded the cheese a little thinner, but it was alright......superb mixing really got the crowd going. it was crowded on the dancefloor and the asshole ratio was higher but the tunes made up for it.

good stuff

Sorry I didnt meet and greet anyone, I was there from about 11 to 3 on the third level next to the godskitchen sign. Left right when accadia (sp?) started... ive got some crazy flu that is wiping the shit out of me. I enjoyed it alot. First time to see G&D and would gladly go back!!

Things I liked alot. Opener (the guy in the white striped shirt) he did an excellent job of pumping everyone up. Loved the funky bass lines in alot of his songs. G&D rocked and I loved how Josh looked like a little kid singing with the music, it showed how much heart he has in this and I admire that.

Things I hated.... the blonde asia girl at the front of the stage (her hair reminded me of Alien) and the douche with the fucking whistle. I almost threw an ash tray at him...

anyone have a T/L yet? I knew alot of the songs, but there were a ton that I didnt know....

Also.. Did he play Alive after 3am? if so I am gunna be pissed!!

good to see the TAs last night and to meet some new ones i'll try to remember your names

like mrsquirrel - i spent way too much money.

g&d have definitely improved since the last time i saw them - about 2 years ago. the dancefloor was crazy last night - went down for about 5 minutes just to get a feel for it and it was packed and the crowd was lovin' it

see some of ya at wmc

yeah, she sucked! and she never went away!

Okay, some tracks I can recognize:

Duncan Sheik - On A High (G&D Love Humboldt Mix)
Annie Lennox - Pavement Cracks (G&D Club Mix)
Nickola Gala - Swing 2 Harmony (Resurrection Remix?)
Way Out West - Mindcircus? (? Mix)
Andain - Beautiful Things (G&D Remix)
Above & Beyond - No One On Earth (G&D Remix)
Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Tiesto Mix?)
Tiesto ft. Josh Gabriel - Walking on the Clouds?
Dave Gahan - Dirty Sticky Floors?
Beber & Tomara - Travelling on (G&D Mix)

Those are a few I can recall off the top of my head. I'm not familiar with the tracks on Bloom. Someone mentioned Josh Gabriel - Alive and Rachel Starr - Till There Was You were dropped. And for some reason, I thought I heard Rowan Blades & Chris Lak - Filth (Greed is Evil Mix) from Sander K's Cd. I know I could be wrong on a few of these. I know my music, but I don't know it that well. Gabriel & Dresden's set was pretty decent compared to the other two times I've seen them at Vision. I'm not 100% sure, but I didn't realize that Dave was dancing on the mainfloor for a while before the set. Their set was a little bit more harder than I expected. I don't know, I thought it was a good set. Nothing to rave about. They definitely kept the energy going, diverse tracks, and it's great to watch Dave and Josh work the decks.

The setup on stage is different. Like Phanta C said, having the Djs closer to the crowd creates a more intimate atmosphere and energy than in the second floor booth. For example, anyone who caught Way Out West last year would know what I am talking about. But, the stage doesn't provide a lot a room and viewing area for the crowd or club employees. So, it's only "half gay." It's kind of funny to watch the crowd trip over the steps while trying to dance or get closer to the Djs. I wonder what Vision's plans are.

THANK YOU, lucid! I really appreciate you introducing me to a few of the TAs. It was great to finally meet lucid, ctprincess, and D&G Girl, as well as Skylar and his girlfriend. Forgive me if I forget your names. I normally go solo to Vision (and Soundbar), with the exception of my clubbing buddies Melus and Georgette, but I would really like to meet more TAs. There were a few of you that I only made acquaintances and small talk with. I spoke with Mazi briefly, and told him that each set I hear from him gets better everytime. It was cool to say hello to him. His opening set for Sander K was insane! lucid, ctprincess, and D&G Girl; You girls are diverse, interesting, and awesome to hang out and talk with. I hope we get a chance to do it again sometime soon. PM me for contact information and stuff, if you're cool with that.

Highlight of the evening: Above & Beyond - No One On Earth, and listening to the crowd sing the lyrics. It was cool.

Okay, one more thing and then I'll go. Does anyone have pics?

Gabriel and Dresdon

I went to g&d over the weekend.. thought it was awesome.. had a great time dancing all night. Already planning my next trip from Milwaukee to Chicago! ) can't wait!

yah dude, they did, and it was HOOOOJ! i was so glad to hear it, i couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole set and that was just the icing on the cake. after hearing that they aren't very good live, i was super impressed w/ the show and the mixing. they started off using decks and cdj's i think, and then moved onto the powerbook. some GREAT tracks in their set, i'd be interested in both a setlist and pics too

track of the night... the killers song w/ lyrics "it was only a kiss"...can't remember the name of it, but man, what a bomb to drop on the crowd

can't wait to see them @ WMC!!!!!!

glad you all had a good time..I was thinking about going but was tired from 12 hours of work earlier that day.

I woke up with this morning and had a voicemail from Kael, whom many of you know. Ya hes the guy in the Ultra video from last years WMC. It was five minutes of music, I have no idea which song, along with people talking in the background. So I got a glimpse of how it was

They only used the cdj-1000 for the opening track
- Delirium-Silence
the rest of their set was with the PB17' running Ableton

that song was The Killers - Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke remix), i believe

glad to hear you all had fun, I had a wonderful weekend moving my dad's stuff out of his old office building!

Originally posted by l�cid hahaha RJT i barely even remember having that conversation. i was so busy talking to everyone that i wasn't really watching the time or the DJs. don't worry about making an ass of yourself. all the TAs are the friendliest people... we don't care if you're shy. it was nice to meet you, albeit briefly. you should have stuck around so i could have introduced you to a bunch of other TAs!

Phew! That makes me feel a lot better

Truth be told I wish I had met more of the TA's, but like I said, I'm a real shy kid, especially in a club setting where there are just a ton of attractive people around me and I think I'm just some random kid from middle of no where central Wisco... it's times like that when I just tune out the idea of individuals in the crowd and just dance my ass off, which I proceeded to do after embarassing myself on Saturday night!

I did have a great time though, and it was very nice to meet you (briefly) as well. I think I'm making the trek to Hernan in two weeks, but not sure. I don't know anyone in Chicago, and a drive back to SP after a late night show at Vision is just out of the question. Next time I'll make a genuine effort to overcome nerves and just try to seek out the TA's!

One other question for Wolverine16: Was that you on stage basically for the entire end of the night? I thought that whoever that dude was it kinda looked like your avatar, but I wasn't about to break up the time he (you?) was having !

In any event, it was a great night, I really enjoyed it, and like I said the ONLY thing I really wasn't into was the whole "Beautiful Things" experience... but I can't complain, I got to hear almost everything I wanted to hear, including "Sub" so I was real happy.

Can't wait for the next "big thing."

Cheers,

RJT

nice meeting you too - glad you got a chance to talk with mazi i guess one of the opening djs (can't remember which one - mazi told me but i forget) dropped one of his new tracks and wanted to see how the crowd reacted to it.

I wonder what Mazi's new track sounded like? I wish I knew. I would have paid more attention to Gary Lacosta and Dimitry Lovebone's set if that were the case. I think Mazi should release a feature album; I'd definitely buy it. Anyways, I thought that the opening sets for Gabriel & Dresden were good, decent warm-up tracks.

Hey everybo! Lisa and I had a great time. It was good to see the TAs again even though I have a hard time understanding anyone's speech in a club.

The dance floor was truely packed. We were getting bumped and jostled pretty good right after they came on but 45 mins later we were able to carve ourselves out a little spot near what is now the rear of the dancefloor. We were lucky enough to be there when they dropped the Killers.

I managed to lose only one beer to the empty bottle natzi.
