| Billboard Dance Music Summit - Closing Night Party at
Webster Hall Well
it seems as though the best venue was saved for last. I'm talking about New York City's
Webster Hall, which is by far the largest clubbing complex I have ever seen with its
multiple dance halls spread throughout its cavernous walls.
The
evening was kicked off by a warm performance by Sandy B who is best known for her club
anthem "Let The World Go 'Round". Next up was Taana Gardner. She performed the
extended version of her biggest hit "Heartbeat".
After
our lovely divas left the stage, the electronica / trance group Chicane brought life to
the gobs of gear cluttering the stage. Chicane performed an extended set of tracks that
seemed to really fit the trance overtones of the evening. The only complaint of the
evening was that they did not perform a recognizable version of their only hit to date,
"Don't Give Up". Yes we can understand why Bryan Adams might have been hard to
bring to the stage himself, but with the large projection screens present, they could have
played a video track along with the band. |
