Delta Heavy afternoon.

[chanty]

I had the day off and the house to myself so I figured having some puffs, a couple glasses of wine and watching Delta Heavy would be a great way to spend the afternoon.
Boy was I right. That was so good to revisit that tour and remenisce. There were so many good laughs from the lady in Miami calling Digweed - pigweed, the hippy couple in Texas and John crowd surfing.
Great to hear all of those tracks again too. Some of which I still hear often to this day.
I can't tell you how much I was moved to see the Lady Windridge yacht party. I was like "Holy Crap, I was on that boat too. I can't believe it." (not until 2008 though). I always wanted to go on that party boat and it happened!!!
Lot's of great moments and interviews in DH.

"Did she just call you pigweed?"

I love how John laughs about it. That's the best part

Re: Delta Heavy afternoon.

Yeah, they both have a great sence of humour.
Quite a few of the crew members did too. I guess you need it to survive those grueling hours and schedule.

Re: Delta Heavy afternoon.

I love the Digweed interview re the £100k fine, as in "some DJ's" have a rep for not turning up, i.e. Sasha, others are reliable (i.e. JD) !

i remember from that video when the driver of the coach goes: every morning Sasha was coming late to the coach to leave for their next gig.. the earliest he ever arrived was 2 hours late!!

Re: Delta Heavy afternoon.

Fantastic DVD. Brings back good memories, musically anyway. Would love to have been to one of those gigs, especially the boat party!!

The one in Miami was one giant head fuck.

Re: Delta Heavy afternoon.

Wonder what kinda money a digweed set commands these days?

Re: Delta Heavy afternoon.

Just playing the Washington DH mix - its the best of the lot.

Re: Delta Heavy afternoon.

^^Think travel and hotel expenses. Then think compensation for the gig itself. I'm thinking a total of 10-12 grand?

Re: Delta Heavy afternoon.

I think they tailor fees to the venue and type of tour .. festivals are big pay days, but things like the Bedrock University Tour in 2004 were probably more promotional.

Be interesting to know how much he'll make at Matter .. 2500 x £15 = £45,000 !
