The second we walked through the doors at the Armory the energy and vibrations were so full of light and love. This was by far the best night of my life. Blessed with a memory I'll never forget. The people interactions with were so kind and caring. I will never miss out on an LSDream show again.
the show was just absolutely incredible, the music, the lights, the visuals, the people, EVERYTHING. Such a highlight of my life being able to experience LSDREAM at the armory, such a great venue made for great memories! 12/10 experience
Radical Audio Visual Experience - The tour name that was seriously lacking in audio at the Armory Minneapolis! Furthermore, the visuals were underwhelming as well! Given the name of the Tour I expected, along with the 40+ people that were in my group, to be blown away by the Armory Sound system and amazed by the visuals and it just didn't happen on either end! I love all the artists and enjoyed myself because of the artists and the people I came with but, I was not WOW'D in the slightest! My group also just saw Ganja White Night for Wobbleween and the sound was absolutely amazing from the front on the rail all the way to the back of the venue! The visuals were more creative as well and I'm not solely talking about Ebo's work! The lighting and concepts with how the lighting was used, were way more creative! The sound was insane so I know the venue has the capability to make this way better! I was really excited for this show only to feel let down! I truly hope someone reads this and really does take this into consideration when it comes to production quality at the Armory! Ensure the sound and lighting technicians are very well versed in top tier production so this doesn't happen again!
AWESOME MUSIC. AWESOME LIGHTS. AWESOME BASS. LSDREAM NEVER FAILS! CAN'T WAIT TO ATTEND ANOTHER SHOW!
SAM HIMSELF (LSDREAM) WAS AMAZING. GRADE A PER USUAL. ZINGARA AS WELL, BLESS HER LITTLE HEART! ?? HOWEVER - THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE WORST VENUES IVE BEEN TO! First of all, it's PACKED. The bathrooms are towards the floor and around the corner on the right. You can barely get to them bc everyone is standing right there at the floor. People were trying to get through and everyone got fed up and started pushing through the crowd. And the security is ON ONE. They were SCREAMING "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"and "MOVE!"over and over and over again, taking me out of my spiritual zone and experience. They were so rude. Absolutely unnecessarily miserable. Especially up top on the balcony. They were SCREAMING at FULL VOLUME, RIGHT in people's ears/faces. I won't be attending another show at this venue unless it's someone absolutely worth going for. And even then, I'm not gonna be as respectful as I was because there was ZERO RESPECT GIVEN.
In my opinion the event was oversold. It was body to body all the way back to the doors to get in practically. I really couldn’t enjoy the show comfortably unless I was outside the viewing area. I won’t be making a trip to Echostage anymore. I keep hearing others say the same for not only this event but from their previous experiences as well. I ended up leaving the show early because of this after traveling hours to see this performer.
While this isn't Sami's first visit to DC, it was the first experience for many in his audience. He's a talented, enthusiastic performer whose shows and sound draw on much of his life experience...and he is eager to communicate that experience in the language of electronic music, primarily (experimental/space) bass. In my opinion, Echostage's sound system has evolved in the last 10 years and although I was directly in front/left of the stage for his performance, I walked out with zero ringing in my ears (obvious plug for ear protection). Sound is more finely tuned and rich than ever. The visuals game is also the best I'd seen but I only have Illenium to compare to as the closest competition. The staff are always professional and the generosity of proactively handing out water bottles at the front is a smart safety (and business) move. The (women's) bathrooms are always - always well maintained throughout the evening.
LSDREAM, Zingara, and superfuture were all amazing. HOWEVER, I received multiple emails telling me the show started at 8 am and only found out that it really tarted at 7:10 pm from social media. Doors at 7 and start at 7:10. It was not ever communicated by the venue or via email and I missed the first act as a result of this. It was also PACKED. I am sure fire code allows for more people but unless you pay an additional $70 on top of the ticket you already purchased you do not have access to upstairs. There was no room on the floor for dancing and upon arriving late it was difficult to even see any of the production. This show was over sold and times were not clearly communicated. I blame both of these on live nation and the venue. The acts deserve 5 stars.
Lsdream was incredible. Amazing music, CRAZY visuals. I had the best time:)
