taj vs dirtyhertz = one of the best opening trance sets i've heard in a while! i got a kick out of hearing random comments in the crowd like one dude who was obviously very new to the music exclaiming to his friend 'this shit is fuckin nuts!' during the riff of becoming insane, and one guy grabbing his buddy by the shoulder saying with the this serious look 'dude. we need to grow our hair out!' then both nodding and grinning. i've always said it's fine for openers to bang out a high 130s set as long as the progression builds properly and winds down seemlessly the last 20-30 min... and taj and dirty friday night exemplified how that works! very nice use of deep flexion btw too
as far as ferry's set, well if anyone was expecting to be blindsided with something entirely different from his normal style, you shouldn't hold your breath. every time he comes to sf, like 90% of the crowd shows up to hear everything ferry, so that's what he delivers. people were requesting old school tracks left and right and he played every one of them as far as i can tell. one guy up front handed me his treo to give to ferry and normally i wouldn't, but it said 'force of gravity' so i did . i don't listen to ferry religiously like i used to and i find it makes his spundae parties that much more exciting for me. giant bunny man roaming the crowd was also a plus . i don't even remember most of the night, i just remember i enjoyed every second of it
