Well I just want to rant and rave a bit about the Eddie Halliwell show last night at Club Spin!

First the bad....

I was really upset and disappointed at the opening DJ's. No offense to you guys, however, the music chased people out of the club rather than kept people dancing. I began to get a headache from the garbage they were playing. It was very apparent that everyone was bored and anxious to see Eddie play. Now, considering that Club Spin put Eddie on soooooo late in the evening, you would think that they would allow him to play a bit further - but no - they cut off the music in the middle of his set and didn't even let him finish his last song OR do an encore. Eddie wanted to play one last song for the crowd, however all you could hear was the bouncers complaining how they had to be at work in 2 hours and everyone needed to leave. It was VERY disappointing, especially for someone like me who came from out of town to see the show. Can you image, being completely bored the whole night, for the main show to be cut off??!! Then, to rush everyone out, only letting 2 people grab pics w/ him and a few people getting a last minute autograph (even though he was more than willing to stay and do a meet & greet). Club Spin is so lame! I only ask that if Club Spin wants to promote a big name DJ, that they at least learn not to waste people's time and allow the performer that sold the tickets to complete his set, instead of cutting him off early and spending the whole night with the opening acts.

Now for the Good...

Considering how half the crowd was gone by the time Eddie took over the booth, he put on a KICK ASS show. And because half of the crowd was run off by the previous DJ, I had plenty of room to shake my booty and was able to snap some good footage of Eddie from just few feet away. At the end, as we were being forced to leave, I was able to sneak past a crappy CS bouncer and I got an autograph from the legend himself (i geeked out)!!!

I recorded a few great videos, as i was right next to the DJ booth the whole night. You can check em out at:

So my final review on the night: two thumbs DOWN for Club Spin & two thumbs UP for Eddie Halliwell!!!!

the only way I can tolerate this type of music is if I were on fuckin Crystal Meth or some other crazy drug. rofl

No offense, but this crap would make me walk away from any club, any time!

Eddie sucks. I heard they were playing some good music before he went on.

Really? And thats why when the opening acts were on everyone was standing around or walking out. The general consensus of the peeps I talked to that were not run off, all said the opening act were lame, and if Eddie wasn't such a kick ass DJ, then they would have split like everyone else.

I'm just saying what I heard from the people I talked to who were at the show.

he is not. And im pissed at the BBC for firing Fergie who is hands down a much better dj than this Halliwell kid.

The opening acts : king britt, greenskeepers and tall dave? needless to say more.

no wonder people didn't like it. It's not exactly like King Britt & Halliwell are on the same wavelength.

yeah...that's what made me decide to stay here instead. I was curious, but that sufficiently satisfied my curiosity.

The way things seem to have gone down last night still shouldn't have happened, though.

i was disappointed as well. Eddie did amazing and was actually hyping the crowd a lot which was a bit different from the recent dj's playing at Sky. Hopefully tomorrow they wont just cut off Digweed, being that he's the "big name" he is.
