I have a question about this show.  Hopefully somebody who’s seen one of these shows or one of the organizers can reply.

What exactly does it mean “dj set”?  I have heard that SHPONGLE is amazing live, but I think the reports I’m hearing are for a live band playing.  What can I expect at a dj set?  Generally DJ set implies much less lower energy and spontaneity than a live band of four or five humans, each with opportunity to provide expression to each element.

However, a DJ set can still be good, and I’m not knocking it outright.  Just wondering….

Is there a performance art aspect, or some other hijinks planned?  Can someone who has seen one of these Shpongle DJ sets give me a report or point me to one? Or better yet someone who has seen Shpongle ‘the band’ play versus Shpongle the ‘the dj’ play?

I’m asking because I REALLY want to see a show this summer, and really I only have resources for one show, and it will be special and probably this summer’s main psychedelic sacrament.

I want to be sure this is the one. 

Any help appreciated.

Yes! the show was awesome, the new tracks were incredible. Big thanks to Simon, PhuturePrimitive, the dancers, the whole crew you guys put on a really quality show, I’ve been waiting a really long time for this, and it was perfect. Please come up to the northwest more often!

Nice to see some fellow NWerners in here!

Those photos bring back great memories, nice to see you got one of Phuture also. If you have more could you please e-mail them to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)? I don’t mind the lower quality at all, since I was there I see them crystal clear :D
