Well it was kinda.. ok-ish until pendulum started.. then it was like.. an inch space between people if that.. but then it started thinning again.. in the last 3/4 - 1hour there was more like half a meter space.. where i was anyway

yeh, at previous pendulum shows its just been too packed, sometimes hard to even move, which sorta puts me off going to shows when they get that packed. peoples arms flying everywhere, people pushing each other, jumping around like idiots... sometimes it does get a bit too damn busy, especially at pendulum shows seeing as though everyone knows who they are now.

i think the best pendulum i saw was el hornet on his own at traffic a few years back where he played an extra hour and went on to close the show, walked back outside and it was just starting to get daylight... damn that was a good show!!

Yeah there was a bit of that, just before dom and roland finished his set heaps of people where pushing to the front to see pendulum, they step on you, sweat on you, just generally piss you off but its all part of the raving experience :grin: the atmosphere was electric last night ;)

What an absolutely top top night.
Was silly enough to sell my $40 ticket so I paid full door price, but my god was it worth it.
I was at the top bar the whole time going off! I normally won't dance for more than an hour, and I was there the entire time.

Tell you what though, I felt like there was a blockage in both ears when I came out of there. Earplugs are a must.

Craziest dnb party i've been too all year. Calyx owned the night, Dom was just some straight up nasty shizzle. Pendulum were awesome playing together, El Hornets mixing was wikked, stood out from the other two. Does anyone remember towards the end when Speed dropped Masochist with The Tide... OMFG!!!!

Best set I've ever seen. Standing so close to the speakers that the bass was like air-conditioning. Paying for it today... Can't hear much. Unforgettable.

Man that was one of the best fkn nights i've had in ages! I know I say that almost every weekend but this one really was lol. Calyx tore it up and nothing like hearing Pendulum playing all their own tunes. Mixing was tight as fuck.. was so good to see all three together. Awesome :thumbsup:

Well, for a hardcore chick doing dnb, I loved Pendulum, and Patch's set was great, but I have to admit the rest didn't really grab me. My biggest prob with dnb is I can't stand MCs, I'm sure they're good at what they do, but they really just annoy me.

Was really glad I went though, met some great new friends and surprised some old ones by showing up at a dnb show! The really fat bass was awesome when it hit but there was too much other stuff in between. And yeah, the speakers blew me away quite literally!

Had a fun night, but can't say I'm a huge dnb convert - may give it another try sooner or later, happy to keep my options open! But meanwhile, can't wait to get back to my hard stuff at Overdrive!

Merry Xmas all!
