Flew out for the weekend with my gf and her bff and my friend. Caught Pete Tong at The Yost on Friday, then we did the touristy Hollywood thing until nightfall where we made our way to this.

Their Saturday 2 hour performance went by way too fast. As my friend and I were in the Hospitality room prior to A&B taking to the stage, we saw Skrillex and wondered what he was doing there. Later in the evening we figured it out when Black Room Boy came on and he was on the bass guitar. Nice venue, although there were about 10 open seats just a row behind us from people that probably didnt make it to get their guestlist tickets.

The only negative I have, is that they replaced Justine Suissa and Richard Bedford with new vocalists. They hit the mark, but I was hoping to hear it sungfrom the originals.

I thought Skrillex only performed with A&B on Sunday?

Any idea when the Bluray & CD will be released?

Right:

quote:

From Billboard Magazine Skrillex had attended the Saturday night show and – according to Above & Beyond’s camp – had enjoyed it so much, he asked if he could contribute to Sunday night. The group readily agreed, reportedly around 3am, leading to a swirl of gossip in the unusually large pre-show industry crowd backstage (which perplexingly included rapper Azealia Banks).

Not sure what was perplexing about Azealia Banks being there.

But this quote captures the night pretty well:

quote:

From Billboard Magazine At times, the performance recalled Zero 7 or Portishead’s “Roseland NYC Live” album from 1998. It was orchestral and ethereal while still rooted in the world of electronica.

I stand corrected, I guess I tranposed what I saw from him hanging out backstage with the footage from the Sunday event. My bad.
