I won tickets to the event and rolled solo and sober, arriving a couple minutes before 1 am, just in time to see Gabriel & Dresden start their set. Hearing "Beautiful Things" to start was excellent. I thought they played a nice mixture of tunes, playing mostly banging tracks with big basslines and sprinkling in some more melodic and uplifting stuff every so often. The remix of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" was amazing. I was very happy to hear Andain's "Promises" (Gabriel & Dresden remix), but I do prefer Myon & Shane 54's Summer of Love Mix, which they did not play. Arty's "Around the World" had the place going insane! If it were up to me, Gabriel & Dresden would have played a bit more melodic, but I thought they did a good job overall, nonetheless.

The Guv was more crowded than I anticipated, but I carved out a space in the back where I danced feverishly and incessantly for three straight hours, save two separate trips to the bar to get multiple cups of water. My clothes were drenched, so the DJs were certainly enabling me to move about maniacally. By 4 am, I was completely exhausted and I left with G&D still on the decks.

Very enjoyable night.

cups of water wins


LOL

Indeed. I don't understand why people pay the 4 or however many dollars it is for a bottle. Considering I won the tickets and I sold one of them to a guy in line, I actually profited at the party, and I didn't even need to sell drugs haha!

well.....


tooo be fair...

this was there first time playing together in that room in a few years. And these few tracks that they supposedly play at every gig have some significance in the musical history of that room. If i had gone last night and NOT heard the same old tracks that made them who they are..i would have been pissed.


Sounds like a good night.
