It's been over a week since he was in San Francisco at Ruby Skye but last week was the Apple Developer Conference so I was a little tied up and couldn't get the video together. Digweed was fantastic during his peaks - classic gnawing stuff that made you want to explode on the dancefloor. His non-peak stuff was a bit on the boring side to be honest - he played more than a few [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=467"]Maxime Dangles[/URL] tracks that are interesting to hear but a bit boring on the dancefloor. His peak time chaos though made up for it. Such a great night of intense music! Here's some video I took - I could definitely use some new school trainspotter help:

Sounds like a great time man, thanks for sharing! How long did he play for ?

I knew I should have stayed in town for that instead of going to Vegas for the silly edc. He doesn't even come in the bay area that often.. maybe once a year :(

Re: John Digweed @ Ruby Skye (June 16, 2012)

He played until a little after 4am. Yeah, once a year these days in SF...it really is my only big night each year.

BTW, his set in Vegas seemed a bit out of place between [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=52"]UMEK[/url] and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=224"]Carl Cox[/url], but he brought in his usual fashion, the ambulance line during his set resembled a limo valet pickup the masses just cant handle the vortex.

Re: John Digweed @ Ruby Skye (June 16, 2012)

Any trainspotters for some of the peak time music in the video?

Still a far cry from the Twilo sets I used to hear in New York circa 2000/2001. Some of those were 12 hours!
