Ok,
So....I'm kinda new to the boards. Being from small town, wisconsin we dont have many crazy acts pass through...
The biggest acts I've seen are James Zabiela, Deep Dish, Hernan Cattaneo, Sandra Collins, and Oakenfold.
JZ and Deep Dish are neck'n'neck for the best show I've seen!!
I'm wondering who is the best DJ that you've seen live.... :?:
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
[FONT=Tahoma]too many to say just one. but by far the most memorable was Sasha spitting out cow-spander at love parade in Berlin. hearing that for the first time getting mushed in a crowd of over a million people is something you can never forget.[/FONT]
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
Sasha and Diggers Delta Heavy in Orlando with Jimmy Van M. Luke Fair/Desyn Masiello WMC '05

Wow two great pics there....I was also at both those shows and they were excellent..
I would have to add sasha and digweed at space 2003, (along with randall jones, q6,3, sander, porter, ect ect ect who also played at the same gig) (still got to be the best lineup ever made for show)
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.

if the venue was a bit better.. the night at wmc '04 when randall jones, fortier, digweed and luke fair played was SPECIAL.

who knows...i thought that place was awful..i was glad it was closed....its so small and crammed in there....never could figure out why all the biger name djs would play such a hole in the wall....
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
I'm going to go off the board and rather than say the best "DJ" I'll say the best set in an enviroment and time of my life that mattered most. I've been doing this (dj'ing) a long, looong f***ing time and have never looked for any recognition even in my own small circle (Cincinnati) but last year at the WMC is my favorite "DJ" experience. After missing the previous WMC because of cancer the night I hung at Red Bull house with d:fuse, my friend Xarene and the rest of the S.F. crew listening to D and Groovefire play and then heading over to Porterhouse is most memorable. I remember working our way through the crowd and getting to the balcony behind the booth and Ian Wilke putting down a set I just loved... That, while hanging with my friends, meeting the guys from Infusion for the first time and trying not to fall over from the incredible amount of crown and red bull we had consumed ranks ahead of anything I've ever heard or done before or since. It was nice just to be introduced and recognized for once. That and Ian's set, the club, crowd and everything just kind of made me feel as if what I do does matter.... The rest of the night/morning is a total blur until sometime around 11am at breakfast in Bed but I wouldn't trade that for every great (insert DJ's name here) night in the world. It probably sounds petty but when you live in Cincinnati it was truely a big deal... to me anyway.

they tried to reopen ot for wmc '05 under a different name, but had issues with some permits or liquor licence. wasnt a good venue, but the music coming out of it that night was amazing
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
This is from a bye gone era, but DJ Dimitri (Deee-Lite) used to twist my mind into a origami sculpture. More recently I've enjoyed Taneglia and Sasha the most.
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
so many great shows, here's some great ones off the top of my head:
Sasha & Digweed everytime at Twilo Danny Tenaglia Miami WMC take your choice on any year Steve Porter & James Zabiela tag-team at WMC 03 (also Porterhouse WMC 05) Junior Vasquez's early 90s sets at the original Sound Factory NYC Doc Martin at PS1 Warm Up NYC 2003 Richie Hawtin playing with Magda at WMC 03 (and many other times I've seen him/them in NYC)
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
probably michael mayer or richie hawtin for me, but its a close call
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
Chris Fortier and Andy Hughes at MARZ in Cocoa Beach.

Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
Would have to be Sasha @ Emerald City, Philly, followed by Digweed @ Spirit, NYC. Watching Sasha use his Maven controller with Ableton was extremely inspiring.
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
Sasha and Digweed at the 10 hr Delta Heavy opening show in Miami 4 yrs ago.
Saeed and Palash in Tampa a couple years ago. I just really dug the groove that night
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
DJ Vibe, countless times @ Kremlin in Lisbon, before he was even known by that stagename...and everytime I´ve seen him he´s been very good even in his off nights.
Carl Cox @ Figueira da Foz in 1996, X-Club party in an abandoned shipyard with 14.000 people, an amazing industrial setting for a techno party.
Sasha, 25 May 2005, Caixa Groove On in Lisbon.

[quote=hambino21]Sasha and Digweed at the 10 hr Delta Heavy opening show in Miami 4 yrs ago. [/quote]
oy yeah that was a blast to..not as good as the orlando us fall tour...but stll awesome...
i think i was there from 10:30 pm till 7:00 am and the place was sitll going off at that time...
u know funny thing is last years sasha and dig show in miami for wmc 2005 was at the same venue that the 10 hr delty heavy show in 2002 was....but for some reason they only opened this past years show form 12:30am till 5:00 am...what a joke. the forced hernan to tag team with jay z and then threw in a garbage set in the middle by lavelle to kill ur buzz...and then a sped up 2 hr set by sasha and dig...what a deal and only 40 bux!!
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
^^^ the reason Ultra and anything associated with it is a waste of time. IMO
Re: Best DJ you've seen live.
This is a cheesy one and i don't actualy have anysets by them ( or want ) .But Mix Factory when they did Sequines in Blackpool the night XTC did his "Total Confusion" mix .Neva seen before or since when a DJ has had every single person in the club by the balls

Sander Kleinenberg @ Stereo (2003) - I swear, I'm just not crazy about Sanders when he's DJing anywhere else, but at Stereo he always seems to hit it right on the ball, hard and deep - and the crowd was just perfect then.
