Best gig you've ever been.

Simple, which where the best gigs/events/artists you saw.

In rock music:
Roger Waters: Dark Side of the Moon (2007 - River Plate - Buenos Aires)
All the class of a Pink Floyd gig, giant pigs, towers of fire, HUGE LASERS, awesome sound, awesome songs.
Moment of the evening : Pink Floyd - Pigs, Eclipse with all the stadium filled with smoke and giant lasers forming a giant prism resembling the album art.

Dream Theater (2009 - Luna Park Buenos Aires)
The band that I heard all the time at the moment, epic concert, shed a couple of tears when they played my favorite song lol.
Moment of the evening : Dream Theater - Home

Roger Water: The Wall (2010 - River Plate - Buenos Aires)
Nuff said.
Moment of the evening : The impotence and tension of hearing the music behind a giant 60m x 30m wall.

In electronic music.
Justice:Live (UMF 2012 - Buenos Aires)
I got into electronic music because of these guys and gave out a hell of a show, only 1hour but amazing. It gave me goosebumps when they played!
Moment of the evening : A minute of silence with Xavier hands up before droping we are your friends vs Waters of nazareth

Gui Boratto (State 2012 - Buenos Aires)
Love his music, seeing him live was a dream. Great club also his music is so emotional and colorfull. Moment of the evening : Playing a remix of Massive Attack Paradise Circus!

John Digweed: New Years Eve (Crobar 2013 - Buenos Aires)
John's birthday, 6hs set, new years eve. Hell of a evening . This guy is a magician behind the decks, drove me through a musical journey till 9am! Crazy! Moment of the evening , John building up tension with lucianos track Rise of Angel!

Hernan Cattaneo & Sasha: Pt 2 (Moonpark 2013 - Buenos Aires)
This guys can really translate you with music their feelings of joy, so sincere. Sasha couldn't stop smiling all evening ! and Cattaneo well, he is like a God here in argentina!
Moment of the evening : Cattaneo b2b Sasha playing his remix of Hot Chip's Flutes.


Well what where your favorite gigs and why?!

Doc Scott at some rave in the basement of a church around 98. It literally changed my life. I'll never forget hearing a Dillinja tune on a real system for the first time. The bass was hitting so hard that I couldn't breath. It was amazing.

best show i ever went to was this year, passion pit played an outdoors concert at party in the park in atlanta. it was a relatively small show, not anything huge, but it was the best evening ever. they had the electric sons, yeasayer, and ellie goulding headlining. but passion pit was BY FAR the best. the lighting was amazing, the energy of the crowd was amazing, just all around great show. they sounded absolutely amazing!!

these videos aren't mine but some concertgoer posted them on youtube:

their opener:


sleepyhead (towards the end):


take a walk:



another good show i went to was 2 years ago at dave matthews. he was in atlanta played at Phillips arena and he played alot of his popular stuff to a pretty crowded show. great evening as well

8 hours long Garnier, what a crazy party this was at TimeWarp 2008. Wished it could last forever.



Also, Moby at Tomorrowland 2009 made me almost cry out of happiness. One hour of fireworks and all his best tracks was so freaking good...

Also DaftPunk in 2008 in Amsterdam was very good, only so short. And I'm proud that I saw the Rolling Stones as well.

It was nuts, I was just stood with my jaw on the floor at the front like what?!

He's such a nice bloke too, played well overtime than what he should have played right to the end of the evening which he finished with a soul/mo town set.

Homelands 2000 - Despite the appalling weather, Leftfield (again!), Sasha & Diggers, BT, Rampling. Also remember a lot of the food stalls putting cups of tea from 50p to

Best highs I can remember were dancing to Kerri Chandler's full set (with live mic and keys) and during a live performance by Francesco Tristano + Carl Craig + Moritz Von Oswald. Chemical Brothers were pretty good too. This was all Q1/Q2 2011.

Yup, even got me to listen to Joni Mitchell (briefly). Saw Tenaglia drop his version live - mindblowing!

Mr. C in Atlanta a couple years ago. Party ended at some guy's house trading bottle shots of Stoli for his Marlboro Lights. I have tickets to his album release party in London next weekend.

Close second was when I wound up on stage with the Cruxshadows for their Encore at Dragoncon the first time.

Oh yeah, and having a press pass to Ultra was a lot of fun.
