Sasha + Three------>FLORIDA!

Re: Sasha + Three------>FLORIDA!

Just saying that I've felt much better vibe at other events where I've seen him.
I always prefer the smaller venue events like last night, but that one did not rank up very high against other ones I've seen.

well, Sasha made it to Chicago without problems

So, it sounds like he's still spinning some tracks in the same vain of Never say Never, but mixed in with some newer Prog House releases?

Re: Sasha + Three------>FLORIDA!

He opened with the second track from the 2nd video in the Sasha @ Warung video thread.
If you skip forward to about 1:30 into that vid you'll hear it.

Other tracks I can remember, not in any particular order:

Maceo Plex - Stay High Baby
Luke Abbott - Brazil (Slow Version)
Luke Abbott - Grumble
Metronomy - Everything Goes My Way (Ewan Pearson dub)
Fritz Kalkbrenner - Kings In Exile (Booka Shade Remix)
Slove - Flash (Pachanga Boys Remix)
Planningtorock - Living It Out (Billy Lock Remix)
Scuba - Adrenalin

Re: Sasha + Three------>FLORIDA!

that was one of the most pathetic crowds ever. embarrassing actually. it didn't even seem half capacity.

Funny how each interprets the music differently. i thought sasha started banging by the second track. then i thought they were horrible at the end when they started going btb.

its funny so many people out back i chatted with didn't even know who sasha was. as a matter of fact as i was waiting in line outside to piss sasha comes up and the portapotti man makes him rip out his wallet and cash to pay a for a single cigarette. LOL.

Exactly..... and that's why I stand by my original comment. Weak crowd. No vibe.
Sasha was just going through the motions. You could see in his body language, the crowd was not energizing him.... and vice versa.
I've seen Sasha enough times to know the difference between him having a good time playing vs. not. This was definitely not.

I had the same impression about the crowd. Mostly dirtbags who were there becuase it was a place to get drunk and find some poon. Many people had not clue about who was playing, or the style of music.

That would explain my last experience in Tampa as well for Paolo Mojo.. it's one thing if the dirtbags are into the music, but when they don't even care, it's just not fun.

Re: Sasha + Three------>FLORIDA!

Chuckc said is best..... it really was embarrassing. I was very glad that some of my friends that had not seen Sasha before decided not to go. I would have been very ashamed for dragging them there with all of the praise they have heard from me beforehand.

I liked everything Sasha played, so the problem wasn't the music. It really was just a bad crowd.

I have always felt that one of the cool things about the electronic music scene is that the audience truly is an active participant in the outcome of the night. When you have a great DJ and an enthusiastic crowd the night can be amazing. There is no surprise that music can affect our emotions, and vice versa. You hear the same track in two different settings and it sounds completely different. Plus the DJ may take the music a totally different direction when the crowd is up for it. But take away either factor in that equation (great DJ or great crowd), and you have something like what we saw Thursday.

Re: Sasha + Three------>FLORIDA!

Holy Shit, Last Night (in Chicago) was ridiculous. Out of all the times I've seen Sasha in the last 10 years, I have NEVER seen him as energetic, or having as much fun, or generally happy to spin his tracks for the fine audience of SpyBar. He was moving around in the booth all night, shaking hands with people up front, and even gave out his headphones at the end of the night. (He got them back, though, after he went up for 2 encores.)

The crowd was pretty damn good for being as crowded as it was. Lots of hand shaking, high fives, and hugs . Everyone was having a blast. Very different from the (semi) normal douchebaggery crowd that tends to show up for a Chicago club. Maybe the horrible weather scared them away. Also, the crowd was probably 80% male, so I think they were all general fans of Sasha in the first place, or didn't have chicks around them to bring out the douchebag clubber within.

I'm pretty bad at track spotting, but he definitely played:
LCD Soundsystem - You wanna hit
Scuba - Adrenlin
and 2 others I've recognized from his Never Say Never sets.

The whole night was definitely a Never say Never vibe, which is pretty damn special to experience in person.

(Also, I recorded almost the whole thing, so that'll be on YouTube in about a day.)

Re: Sasha + Three------>FLORIDA!

Great to hear.
Just goes to show that the crowd really can make or break an event.
