last show he played here was pretty good, altho he sorta dissapointed me as well ^^

I was expecting a much more party rocking atmosphere, lots of tuntablism

he was rarther boring to be honest, and i dint find his latest material all that inspiring - altho at leats is was more uptempo that listening to his older material

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 11:51 am

it was 40% of the show he put on at the forum a couple years ago (shit it might be more than a copule!)

mos def had my heart last time, not shadow.

i mos def have a soft spot for mos def

BUT his tunes last time, altho lyrically amazing were all out of time and that dubsteppy bullsh*t, like not even the good kind...the kkind where everyone is trying to dance in a hiphop rythm, but instead just fall over themselves on the dancefloor deciphering what time signiature they should be stepping too!

Caught Shadow at Sonar 2006 in Barcelona - was one hour of old-skool beats followed by one hour of the "nu-skool Hyphey sound" as his 3 MC's kept reminding the crowd every 4 bars... some loved it - I am not some.

nic · Post by **nic** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 5:58 pm

Ill definately go if he promises not to play any old bullshit and only does hyphy bay area stuff, as if no one likes him and e40 together or kean the sneak? carn' nigga.

he cant stay the same stale old sample driven man for ever. give him some room to make sum new stuff up.

he is probably working with JT and Nelly night now and collaborating on phagrells crap new icecream van signage with prince charles in a gothic revival catholic themed trailer park with missy higgins presiding over stale acoustics whilst trying to appear natural after swallowing 20 xanax given to her by the living end on the run after merking xavier rudd for being smelly.

err yes. im sure there are a whole new group of people around who liek his new stuff anyway and he told me to tell youse that he doesnt care what you think and he would prefer if you didnt come anyway.

he's not on the lineup for sounds in melbourne so assume he's playing a solo gig.

There were a lot of comments on here when I was staunchly opposed to going to the Palace to see him on his second visit to melbourne. Good opn him for making a living out of music though, but not anymore from my wallet.

SoulWhiteMan · Post by **SoulWhiteMan** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 6:58 pm

i love shadow for his ability to make both "party" kind of beats, as well as cinematic/atmospheric stuff.

I think his latest album was shit in parts because he was deliberately trying to be 'different' when he should stick with what he knew best: abstract, atmospheric hip-hop.

BrB/Lynt: let us know if they are at DMC.

Moshtix only available to pick up on the door, and not certain I'm gonna be in the country, so wanting some of that paper-transferable ticket action.

Forum.. nice!

Post by **breaksRbest** » Fri May 04, 2007 10:02 am

DMC only installed their Moshtix system yesterday and it wasn't fully functional when I went there last night.

There are no 'paper-transferable' tickets available @ DMC, only Moshtix

I'll be heading down there at 10 to see if it's been worked out yet

well maybe just one.

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Fri May 04, 2007 12:11 pm

Last time was a bit of a let down.. I don't think I'm going to fork out $80 for this.

Was so not impressed by his last outing. I was so close to falling alseep that I was too scared to smoke the joints I brought with me in case I did.

Will not be forking over the big $$$'s to see him again anytime soon.

missed the last one heard mixed reports, down for it

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Fri May 04, 2007 12:24 pm

it's a shame that after one performance that didn't live up to some peoples' expectations, that he's immediately scratched.

would have thought there'd have been a bit of room for recovery. you're a brutal lot.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Fri May 04, 2007 12:26 pm

For $80 I'm definately gonna be brutal.

Seen him once, have no inclination to do it again - especially with the way his sounds are heading.

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Fri May 04, 2007 12:28 pm

fair play....and i'd find it hard to part with $80 after last time too. but still, in my eyes, he's the man...and i will have his babies. and in order to action that, i'd be happy to the money.

WORD.

Shadow deserves more than that, he's a GOD amongst DJ's/producers.

ah well , their loss.

shepherd · Post by **shepherd** » Fri May 04, 2007 1:11 pm

$80 seems excessive

last show was a total let down and it seems over the years he's become even more self-important than he was previously (no mean feat) so will let this one slide.

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Fri May 04, 2007 1:37 pm

I agree. I thought about getting tickets for this. $80 convinced me otherwise.

I think the critiscisms are little to do with his skill level/abliity to peform, and everything to do with the direction his music is heading in. Therefore I think not going to this show based on last show is at least partially valid, unless he announces he's gonna do a whole lot of old stuff.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Fri May 04, 2007 1:44 pm

last tour was to showcase his last album, which most of you hated. This tour is billed as 'An Intimate Night with DJ Shadow'

It's at The Forum and Daddy G from Massive Attack is also playing

I highly doubt he'll come back and do a repeat performance of his gig at The Palace

I reckon it's gonna be wicked

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Fri May 04, 2007 1:48 pm

and Daddy G?

faaaark. that'll be mad.

:jealous:

fair call about Josh not repeating the Palace gig. u reckon he'll do somethign a bit more like the early foum gigs?
I saw Daddy G a few years back and DJ Numark cleaned up the dance floor with him.
respect where its due, Shadow has made some amazing music. would love to have seen him do live vocals on that cut off the private press

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:19 pm

I could be wrong BRB, and I know you are a die-hard (with a vengeance) fan of Shadow, but I find it unlikely that he won't be promoting his newer stuff...

I've never been an overly massive fan, just an avid fan.

I went to the last show based on a lot of people's hype (yourself included) and it wasn't my cuppa tea.

I can cross him off my things-to-see list and be happy with that.

Hope you have a good night!

nic · Post by **nic** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:35 pm

are we gonna talk at length again about how no one likes his hyphy crunk new style?

fuck teh hatorz!

Ill def go, its only a few beers dollars worth more than any other inane international.

i think this argument is going to go around....and around....and around in circles.

It all boils down to the fact that, whether old or not, DJ Shadow has produced some music out there that touches your emotions.

It is similar to people who "don't like psy" but love Sphongle and Ott (myself being one of these people.)

There is a place for party music

and there is a place for meticulously placed beats, melodies, and sequencing of tracks.

Sphongle, OTT and Shadow deserve to be lumped in the same category of pushing electronic music forward, beyond the realm of just entertainment, to the point that they craft a unique listening and emotional experience.

Listen to smoked glass and chrome by OTT, straight, or otherwise, and tell me it doesn't stir your soul..... then listen to the usual assortment of electronic music that has a "life" of about three months, and you'll see where I'm getting at.

Some electronic music stands the test of time; a fair chunk of it is disposable::: respect must be paid to artists and their tracks for their emotional capacity and uniqueness to stand the test of time.....

PS:
it is for this very reason that Hybrids set at BA was a load of fucking shite compared to what they are CAPABLE OF! (ie: sunset performance at Parklife in Sydney.)

Try double the price with an additional $20 on top.... and booking fee.

i am impressed and bewildered in how you managed to lump dj shadow in with a bunch of psy trance dudes - the master of the segue!

SoulWhiteMan · Post by **SoulWhiteMan** » Fri May 04, 2007 7:39 pm

read what i am saying....

In my mind shadows tracks have the same element of "care" (for lack of a better word) as do the likes of masters such as Simon Posford / OTT and Hybrid.

The tracks these guys have released stands the test of time for good production, effect it has on the audience.

Also, the above artists go above and beyond their genre, they're a bit avant garde...which is why i like shadow so much, he's not some try hard sticking to tried and tested bullshit; he's doing his own thing.

There's fuckloads of binary, mechanical, shit psy, just as there is a fuckload of binary "dub" and "chill" - but Sphongle and OTT stand out, head and shoulders above the rest.

Same with Hybrids production : the pads, detail, arrangement, they don't just make "phat as" tracks that last two months....

Thats what I'm trying to say, not being "normal" and going above and beyond your genres "limits" and creating something unique that touches you emotionally......

Oh, and one last thing,
don't tell me Shadow hasn't hit the liquid and shrooms in his early years!
