Just got back from SF for work...
We had a perfect time. The weather was beautiful, people were great, and no problems all night.
Took the BigBlueBus and arrived at 5:45 and hung outside waiting for others to catch the shuttle from H&H. Bas walks by, and says, "hi", and rolls right in.
We go inside around 6:15 and start munching on our food, and getting sloshed.
The rest of our group arrives around 6:45, and now we take up an entire row in J1. Thrax txts me, so I go hang out with him for a bit and his friend and we are both completely excited for Underworld (and not for Oakenfold).
7pm rolls around, and between the 10 of us, we're at like 8 bottles of wine and counting. Oakenfold is miserable. Too loud, too distorted. My ears are killing me; I really wished I brought my earplugs.
Trance is so dead. I can't believe that:
a. I paid to see him in 2000.
b. He used to be good.
From our txts:
Thrax: Man this guy sucks
dollaroff: Trance is so 2000, sigh.
Thrax: 
dollaroff: God, can this end???
Thrax: Clip clip clip. His first passible mix. Oh well.
dollaroff: You're killing me. This needs to end.
Thrax: It ended.
Underworld pops on at 8:15. Heavenly. The sound was perfect where we were sitting (er, dancing), and they were so good. We completely took over the row and were dancing up a storm. People around us were joining in with us as we kept the energy going.
Best of the night:
The group in front of us are smokingout, and the guard comes over, and says, "No smoking". So, they set it on the ground, and the guard goes away. We pick it up, enjoy a hit, and pass it back over to them where they finish it. We shared some of ours with them as well.
The tracklisting from 2 sources and from video and the bootleg:
Luetin + improv?
Crocodile
Juanita
Biro the Leggy or Beautiful Burnout?
Glam Bucket + improv?
Rez/Cowgirl
Two Months Off + improv
Mo Move
Small Conker & a Twix?
Nuxx
King of Snake
Jumbo
I have the bootleg (flac/mp3); if you want it, I could upload it somewhere.
So sad that I'll be missing LCD Soundsystem on Thursday (and the cancelled Pet Shop Boys gig), but I'll be on a plane to NY instead.
