I am just not feeling it on working on transfers and also not really going to much for the rest of the year so I will put this up as is but this is really a visual event.
After taking most of the rest of the week off to keep riding that feeling from the Aerosmith show, this was one I just couldn't miss. Moby's Coachella set was one of the few I was able to stream and I loved it. He might be one of the dumbest people to ever go multiplatinum, and yes I have heard of Sebastian Bach but I knew it was a show not to be missed.
Just think only 8 years ago I saw him at the Echo for $35
This was the smaller one stage configuration at Brookside Park so no relay towers to park myself in front of a mile from the crowd crush. Each set recorded from a different spot. Got pretty close for Moby parallel to right stack. Accidentally hit the limiter switch which basically cuts a straight line across the top. For EDM it's fine though to just push it all the way top like that. And EDM seems like a bit of a misnomer as he had the stage packed with musicians. Early on I had a really annoying babbling couple near me but the crowd shifted a bit and I was soon surrounded by Israelis passing around coke and they were a bit better company. Cokeheads tend to be a little insular even if it's 20 of them at a rave.
Underworld volume is all over the map, just normalized and left it. Anyone else can tweak it however they want. I just never like the first half of the show being much lower volume than the rest. Might be the production and or maybe the crowd shifted a bit.
And Fcukers. Now I get why people were going absolute batshit for tickets for the club tour. There is also pro shot Bonnaroo on YouTube. The singer strut dances like a cat light as a feather from one side of the stage to the other all night, really only standing still to play bass on a song. She was just so visually mesmerizing but I did like the music.
I omitted the 2 opening DJ sets for now. It starts the second doors open so I get in 5 mins later. I just lay out on the grass as people trickle in. I think I accidentally hit pause for a few minutes. Then there is a seamless transition to the other DJ and then I just start walking around the park though I am rolling the whole time. I had been planning for months to totally smoke myself into a stupor here and enjoy the music and light show even more. Or less and too stoned to know the difference, but I kinda ran into a spontaneous abstinence cycle a few weeks ago and wasn't ready to interrupt it yet. Might be a bit a tougher if I go to my friend's later as his room is a total hotbox.
Here is the great Daniel Kirby's video of Fcukers in Dallas. He bounces between there and LA and gets a lot of the stuff some of the blog users wish I was still hitting. Not sure if he's ever filmed in a place holding more than 500. I know I met him about 10 years ago at Echo Park Rising.

Thanks for this! Had to get it for Underworld, it’s already tweaked a bit.
ReplyDeleteI listened to Moby lots and lots and lots years ago. Kind of burned out on him though.
I am going to check this out next.
I couldn’t really remember why you might have called him dumb. lol
So I put this question into Google;
I know it's the internet but why might someone say about musician Moby that he is one of the dumbest people to ever go multiplatinum?
It gives a very thorough explanation.
