I always have the highest expectations going to any Tipper & Friends event and somehow my expectations are blown out of the water ten fold every time.
I walked into the Saenger Theater with my friends and we all felt like we were going to experience an opera or something of that magnitude. The architecture, mood lighting, and stars on the ceiling all created such an incredible ambiance.
Then we move into the performing artists. From the DJs to the Visual Artists, it really was top tier. To top everything off, Dave brought in the first night with two visual artists, three dancers, and one of the most properly selected and mixed DJ sets I’ve ever experienced. A truly unforgettable evening.
Day 2 was just as special as the first, everyone just sat in their seats in awe as we got lost in the downtempo beats.
Day 3 was on a whole different level though. Starting the night off with a beautiful memorial service as Virga played in the background brought everyone to tears. Psychedelic Movie night kicked off with many shorts being played to some of the most iconic songs in psychedelic music. Tipper and Johnathan Singer really did something profound on Sunday night. I would almost argue it to be a level of hypnosis at an auditory and visual level. I couldn’t help but be brought to tears throughout the whole set. The whole crowd came together and danced as Dave took us from ambient into downtempo.
I can not thank Dave, the team, and the employees of the Saenger Theater enough. This weekend is a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Until next time....
