That... was fun! The dude has tons of energy and was letting it out by jumping onto the speakers and shaking hands with his fans during his set. Great music, and he spent lots of time in the crowd during his encore song - and after his set - taking photos, talking with people, signing autographs and giving lots of hugs.
Really nice guy. Very glad he made it all the way over to SF!

I'm uploading a bunch of videos today, but this one stuck out to me as one of the coolest of them - his encore song, "Calling" - because it shows the great vibe of the night and how friendly he was with his fans.
(sorry for the few seconds of muffled sound when I inadvertently covered the mic)
Set it to 720 HD, turn it way up and enjoy!

Yeah, all that was on the stream. They were moving the camera and all.
Was a little lame how the audio was from a camera (or boom) mic on the video feed. Should set it up to use a mix of direct-feed audio and also from the camera mic so you can crowd noise (I like hearing the crowd, but using solo an external mic caused a lot of reverb in the audio in the stream).

it's been considered, doing around 70% direct mixer feed, 30% ambient mic. also, most djs/managers are protective about unreleased tracks so they'll ONLY allow ambient mic feeds when the stream is being done by a third party. of course it's different when a dj records his set to be reviewed/edited before getting released.
it would be up to mugasha to bring the mixer and set that up though.
overall tydi was very good. great tracks, great stage presence, very entertaining.
but i think he peaked waaaay to early. there wasn't anywhere for the set to go after a while. i don't want to criticize that kind of refreshing energy, but there could have been more buildup or teasing and leading the crowd. same with the stage antics, climbing onto the speakers and running out to the front of the stage... it was cool at first, but then the novelty wore off when he did it every 5 minutes for the next two hours.

I didn't even get to watch the feed, i was asleep by 10pm from having a cold and a stomach flu. Oh well.......
I'm glad he was fun, but the peaking too early sounds like it was a problem for a few people.

I'd love to have a downloadable version of the stream, or at least an audio recording - although I don't typically see recordings from Ruby Skye.
tyDi spun for 2 hours and I have about 75 minutes of it on video in clips that I'm putting on YouTube. That's better than nothing I guess!
