MOBY, etc @ BFD08 - who's going?

So I'm heading out to BFD this Saturday to see Moby, of course there are a bunch of other names on the bill as well. Saw Moby last year at Slide and it was a great show even though it was way too crowded! Then I just saw this video of him performing at Movement 08 in Detroit a couple weeks ago... here's the video... $10 tickets if anyone is interested... anyone going to this?

BFD is an annual event at shoreline ampitheater organized by Live 105.

as for mezz they do their own events and they also rent out the venue to promoters it's hard to tell who's doing what, usually it says on the flyer.

bfd is live 105.3's big fucking deal, an annual modern rock music festival. but since the radio station dabbles in electronica every now and then, they're starting to add edm to their line ups. in the past they've had some really sick rock line ups, which has drawn some pretty big crowds of hot drunken rocker chics

For 10+ years Live 105 ran a weekly EDM show on Saturday nights called Subsonic. It was a great inspiration musically for myself and many others around the bay area. Live 105 has consistantly featured electronic DJs/Artists on a separate "Subsonic" stage at BFD.

Do you think if I can get the ticket at the door? I just don't feel like paying the ticketmaster convenience fee.

so Moby's gonna be on at 10pm at Mezz or BFD? I'm thinking BFD right?


Posted by TheMETHOD on Jun-05-2008 19:24:

yeah 10pm in the Subsonic tent @ BFD. not sure about tickets at the door if I had to guess I'd say probably but I didn't want to risk it even as much as I hate ticketmaster


Posted by oneloveinfinity on Jun-07-2008 21:57:

I'll try to be there today. I was hoping to get my tickets at the venue cause of those stupid service fee by ticket master increases the cost of the ticket to double, but the show is sold out. Hopefully I can score some tix from craigslist

Funny thing is I went to BFD without a ticket hoping to score one off a scalper. Turned out, the box office ended up getting some extra tickets and were at 10 + 2.some odd cents

Things definately looked up after that !

Great show !

Pennywise delivered ! And Cypress Hill came and did their thing with their Blowup Prop which added to the finishing touch to their show.


Posted by 2tall on Jun-08-2008 12:12:

so i hear it mstrkrft and moby were really good with moby stage diving into the crowd? how old is he these days anyways?


Posted by TheMETHOD on Jun-08-2008 12:49:

I arrived at BFD right around 6pm, Pennywise was playing and I really enjoyed their performance! between Penny and Cypress I walked over to the Subsonic tent where the DJ, not sure who was playing... I think the DJ before AM, anyway mixing was a concept this guy did not understand, he was like a human jukebox I didn't feel like anything really went together and every mix just seemed like a throw over, kinda like a radio megamix or whatever but I've heard megamixes before that actually flowed... I didn't stay there long had to get back over for Cypress... so I'm back at the main stage, Cypress Hill came on and man if you weren't smokin then you were high just because everyone around you was smoking, it was crazy! Lots of friendly potheads out there tho

MSTRKRFT and Moby were good, of course I liked Moby a bit better, but seems to me like he played a little more pop than when I heard him play at Slide which makes sense I guess because of the crowd environment etc. Over all a good time, I'm happy I went!


Posted by EDMDancer on Jun-08-2008 19:24:

I left after Cypress Hill. I was too tired, so I missed MSTRKRFT and Moby. I listened to DJ AM's mashup for about 10 minutes. The programming and flow sucked, but the crowd ate it up, probably because he played the popular songs that people are familiar with. I was at Ruby Skye on Friday for Ricky Stone. He also played a number of popular mixes, REM, etc. But the flow is much better.


Posted by drEamer on Jun-08-2008 23:22:

heard MSTRKRFT rocked the hell out of the place......even dropped Usher - love in the club....LOL


Posted by TheMETHOD on Jun-08-2008 23:36:

Yeah MSTRKRFT were dropping lots of different well known tunes, at least 2 daft punk tracks, maybe 3. They also had some sound issues in the beginning of their set, and I wasn't impressed with their transitions between tracks, but in all fairness I really think there was some issue w/ the equipment or monitors spkrs because even Moby was a little off compared to when I saw him before... nothing too major, I probably only noticed because I'm a DJ.

My one criticism of the Subsonic tent is that there was too much pop music. It's good to cater to the audience with popular tunes but it is also good to introduce them to music they have likely never heard. IMO that is what makes a good show great, having the proper balance between popular and new music.

...and good mixing of course
