    you got lucky man, he wasn't on point in chicago.. he was having mad problems... wrecked a mix, almost let a record run out, ran off stage three times for some unknown reason.. and never got into the really good, dark shit... i was let down, to say the least

      I can't believe Digweed had all that energy after playing in Chigago the night before!
      It was just amazing. Crobar was packed and people were just grooving. I'm very happy I went.

            Crobar set was un-fvcking-believable.

            5+ hours of driving, trippy prog - hard, twisted, pounding headfvck music.

            Words can't really express just how good it was.

                I would agree with this. I really loved the atmospheric stuff he was playing early on. It was definitely uneven at times. This was the type of night where he played some incredible tracks but I wasn't crazy about the set as a whole. My only major problem with the set was that he brought it up & down too many times. It was almost like a trance set in that regard. Usually it's just a very slow, smooth cresendo which I tend to prefer in Digweed sets. Desyn did a nice job opening. There were some tracks that I wasn't crazy about but the man has talent and knows how to build a set. The place was packed but it was a better quality crowd than what you usually get at Crobar. I would say that most were there for the music. Overall I had a good time. Hopefully he'll be around again before the year is out...

                  thansk for your input kfitz, you just confirm what I had heard - Digweed didn't actually go anywhere in terms of flow and building up the set... the vibe just wasn't there.
                  Everybody has his nights off, even Digweed. Or maybe he doesn't like to play at Crobar anymore and played bad on purpose :wink:

                    Maybe Desyn is pushing too hard as an opener for Digweed, which would explain why his set was flowing up and down too much.

                    I mean, if your opener plays that hard, there's nowhere to go but down - if you keep pushing harder you'll be left with nothing to play at the end of the night.

                      Normally I'd agree with you but the thing is that a big reason why Digweed is even doing this tour is to help promote Desyn's new Bedrock album. If he's going to showcase Desyn, he's got to let him do his thing. Having him out there for 2 hours just to spin boring, plodding 120bpm prog & tribal isn't going to cut it if you want people to spend $20 on his album. Besides, a DJ as skilled and experienced as Diggers should be able to handle anything Desyn throws his way...

                        Yeah, 5 hours should be enough time to come down from Desyn's set and then build up his own set.

                            Well hopefully I'll try to catch them this Wednesday night at the Mayan. I suppose I should reserve my judgements until then.

                              it was way too hot and packed in crobar. music was okay but probably one of digweed's worst sets i've heard him spin.
