For Friday night, I signed up for Headphones and Snowcones. It basically cost me $40 for a pair of headphones that streamed a live audio mix directly from the soundboard to my tympanic membranes. This was the first time I tried the experience for an entire show and now Iââ¬â¢m afraid live music will never sound the same. These headphones allowed me to tune out the rest of the world so I could get completely lost in the moment. This type of experience is the reason I am so in love with live music and now I donââ¬â¢t know how I will be able to fully enjoy a show without a set of headphones on. So it goes.
The second set on Friday opened with a DBK club sandwich and contained the nightââ¬â¢s only debut mash-up: ââ¬ÅThe Final Teen Spiritââ¬Â. Dramatic synths from Europeââ¬â¢s ââ¬ÅThe Final Countdownââ¬Â directly clashed with Nirvanaââ¬â¢s grunge classic ââ¬ÅSmells Like Teen Spiritââ¬Â. The simplicity of mashing only two songs into one seamless tune made this one of the most successful, straightforward mash-up of the weekend.
Brotherââ¬â¢s Rage played a smoking after party show on Friday night that featured one of my favorite sit-ins to date. Jake Cinninger, the other worldly guitarist from Umphreyââ¬â¢s McGee, joined the late night act for a cover of The Grateful Deadââ¬â¢s ââ¬ÅEstimated Profitââ¬Â followed by some spacey improv. The jam eventually slammed into the sweaty disco tune, ââ¬ÅYou Should be Dancingââ¬Â originally by the Bee Geeââ¬â¢s and featured Mr. Barry Brown on vocals. Needless to say, a legendary dance party erupted among all who attended and continued into the early morning hours.
