wow of the melb show? would love to get ahold of it if its decent sq...

missed this thread when it went by the last time (mostly due to my not having found ta yet) but i must say i was surprised and disappointed at sasha's performance (ie lack of any physical movement) at the metro, even while the music was great. first time seeing him, so just kind of wrote him off as 'like that', but saw him six weeks later on his home turf (and home time zone!) at fabric in mid december for a six-hour set, and he was a completely different animal... smiling, waving, really getting into it and *really* working the crowd. being four feet from him didnt hurt either of course.

so yeah wondering how much of it was just jetlag or food poisoning or a general distaste for aussie club smell or something

Yeah he was pretty much the same when he played out here in 2002. Kind of understandable in a way - both times, I think, Melbourne has been the last stop in a pretty intensive Aussie tour and the guy's probably still jetlagged, tired and sick of flying around by then so it shouldn't be suprising that he's looked completely sapped of energy when he's played here.

To be perfectly honest, though, it really doesn't bother me. I'd prefer that DJs let their music do the talking rather than putting on Oakenfold-esque antics for the crowd's benfit.

And yah, I don't care if a DJ is hopping around the dj booth like a wounded duck, I'd prefer good music to lots of motion.
