I thought I'd share my experience from this show: LTJ Bukem, Blame, Method 1 / Chaos Monday, October 11, 1999 Justice League, San Francisco This was the best 20 bucks I've spent in a while. Method 1 and Chaos kicked off the party with a smooth d'n'b set. Many of the tracks played were some of my favs from the Progression Session CD series. Blame (Progression Sessions vol.2) followed up with a wicked set, with MC Conrad providing vocal meanderings in the background. LTJ Bukem finished it off with more of the same wickedness. LTJ was complaining about the overhead lights shining in his face, and eventually Conrad had to stop talking and go tell the visuals to knock it off. The DJs didn't show off much of their turntable trickery, but they didn't have to since the tracks were dope enough already! The mixing was seamless and the track selection was smart. Conrad did a lot of talking but it didn't intrude. Also, I don't know if it was typical of a crowd/gathering at the Justice League, but the crowd was great. They really got into the Blame set and were generally supportive of all the artists that performed that night. One negative: I was eager to buy some Good Looking t-shirts or compact discs, but none were for sale. Someone was pawning stuff with "Drumz" on it, but I had no idea what that was. If you have the chance to attend a Progression Session, I highly recommend! - Bob Weisend - xxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx
