Porter Robinson show follow-up (with video!) · 4:18am Dec 30th, 2018
Hey folks! The Porter Robinson show I mentioned in my last post was great, and yes, of course... he did Turing Test's unofficial theme song "Sad Machine."
So, quick story about the concert: I was on the upper level, but was having trouble seeing around all the people to record some clear video. This was when the opening act, Slumberjack (who did a great job as well, but I'm not as familiar with them) was performing. Now, earlier in the evening, I was chatting with a dude about the upcoming Porter Robinson set and I told him that I hadn't been to a live show in over ten years.
He looked utterly shocked and was like, "Well, damn... enjoy this show, then, man!" I told him I would and said thanks and then we went in different directions. Then, right before Porter's set, he found me and said "Hey, I got a balcony booth! Come on over, you'll get a better view, and we've got all the free drinks you want!"
To which I said, "...you had me at free drinks." 🍹
He laughed and said "You seem like a cool guy, so since you haven't been to a show in so long, this is my way of saying 'Welcome back!'"
People are kinda awesome sometimes, aren't they?
Anyway, here are the other videos I recorded for the set, including a surprise bit of Daft Punk in "Fresh Static Snow" and a very silouetted cameo by yours truly around the end of "Shelter." Or you can just watch them all at once on this playlist I created. Enjoy!
The Thrill
Divinity
Fresh Static Snow x Digital Love (fave Daft Punk song and the title of the last chapter of The Iron Horse by the way)
Shelter (aka Georgia and Cobbler's theme)
Glad I was able to share this with you all. I was thinking of all you nice folks when I was recording these. Here's to 2019! Whether 2018 was a good year or a bad one for you, let's all hope for a better one soon! 🥂
I felt something right in here
Friendship is magic is it not?
Thanks, and a good 2019 to you too!
