Carry On Afterparty
What can I possibly say about the best live set I've ever heard...
I have mixed feelings about the night in general. It took me an hour to get down to the dancefloor because of the crowd control they had going. I was pissed while I was waiting but once on the floor it made sense. Unkle's set was very slow and uneventful, I noticed a lot of boos. Had to feel bad for the guy, but I was ready for Sasha and Digweed. (I was also really pissed about missing Zabiela due to the extended wait to get in, and the fact that the dicks made me finish the roll of film in my camera for fear of *gasp* taking a fucking picture inside.)
Digweed came on at 2:20, played some really smooth typical Diggers style beats. Sasha walks up around 2:30 or so and you could instantly tell that 75% of the audience was there for him. I think Digweed knew it too because he departed for prolonged periods of time, letter Sasha tear it up alone. In fact about 90% of the night was Sasha alone, the times when Digweed was up there he was just playing around, shooting some video footage, not really doing much.
Their set though, beyond the shadow of a doubt, was the best live set I've ever heard. I probably say that about every event, but after last night I can see why those two are legendary. I've heard the recording and read the reviews, but if you've never seen them together it is impossible to understand. I've seen both of them alone before, but that was the first time together. Granted, the set was mostly Sasha, but still. Best set EVER. I recognized a grand total of two songs for the entire 2.5 hours, and don't even know their names. Working on IDing them now...
If anyone was able to smuggle in a camera post the pics here, the laser show was INTENSE. Oh, and I'll sell my first born child for a copy of this mix if it was recorded
All in all, event total: 8/10 because of the wait, missing Zabiela, Unkle's awful set, and their dickish 'no camera' rule.
Sasha and Digweed though: 15/10. No, 100000000/10. Perfection.
