bts0415 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I'm curious as to what everyone's opinions are on this board of Paul oakenfold when he spins live.... I'm thinking going to his show at avalon july 2. I've never seen him live, but I do like his "Great Wall" album. Is it worth sacrificing a night down at the shore????

Is it worth sacrificing a night down at the shore????I was a great Oakey fan back in 97,98,99,00. But got tired of the 2 hour sets. He sometimes play more then that. He sets are still up to par though. He still is an amzing dj. But I now perfer PVD, or Armin. I will be at the door of this event at AVALON.

trancer70 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 He is an excellent producer/remixer. But live he is garbage. Not much mixing ability or flow to his sets at all. He does play a lot of good tracks but the mixes just aren't there.-Trancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bts0415 Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 cool.... I tend to go more for the quality of the tracks, then the mixing. I think I"m gonna go just cause I've always wanted to hear him live. I"m a huge pvd, armin, ferry, g&d fan, so this will be good to see. Avalon kicks ass lately... I love how hot the scene is right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylexicon69 Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 I've seen him live 5 times. The first was good. The rest,OK. I'd say overated, and definatly over paid. He made 7 mill. last year. He charges up to $25,000 a show. And Bunka, well it was bunk. But other than that...he's got this showmanship thing going for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durrrty Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 He's a celebrity not a DJ....If your an amateur and don't know much about EDM then you should have a good time at this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge007 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Hey ppl, if u guys are interested i got tix for sale for this event pn back or call 917-939-6800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njitpimp Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Well, I've never been a huge Oakenfold fan but some of the live sets I've heard from him lately he's played some good dark hard progressive so it's tempting to go see him. But what makes it even more tempting is according to the flyer Hernan Cattaneo is going to be there also!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
