What a night, 3 acts one right after another. All outstanding! There were live artists everywhere. We were at the front and we didn t want to lose our spot, the security guys gave us cups of water. So nice!!!! Clozee rocked the house, getting everyone ready for Shpongle. It was a sensory overload of music, acrobats, visuals and dancers, there was so much to see and hear. It was a plethora of excitement everywhere. Best night, best show ever! Thank you all who put it together.

Gorgeous venue, with an amazing musical preformances, and well-thought out event. The event had amazing extras such as live art and dancers. This show went well out of its way to impress and it came out a one of a kind event. Myself and friends highly enjoyed this event as we will remember it a great one.

Great venue and great event! Shpongle had an amazing connection with the audience, and communicated with us through rhythmic beats. People laughed, screamed, jumped, swayed, and danced all through the long set, that was accompanied by spectacular visuals on the Shpongletron. I highly recommend this show, and will be looking for more concerts at The Electric Factory.

Are you kidding me? the special effects, visuals, art installation, the music, sound quality, everything.... spectacular. it was absolutely amazing, actually... quite possibly, the most intense visual/auditory experience you can possibly have. People dancing the WHOLE TIME. It was absolutely phenomenal.

Love shpongle to pieces, this show was amazing, the Shpongletron is riveting. The only issue this was more of a DJ set. I thought I was going to see what is on the DVD - a band playing.

Wooooooowwww
An absolutely mind-boggling performance. When he first started playing, euphoric chills ran through my body. The venue didn't serve alcohol, which I thought was awesome-- no drunk people stumbling about. Everyone was there to dance and have a good time.

Everyone said Shpongle is an unforgettable, life changing event. I thought his music was pretty generic electronic, which I enjoy, but didn't find to be mind blowing. The Shpongletron was AWESOME but not enough to carry the show. The crowd was refreshingly cool for being a younger audience. The venue was awesome, though I saw some of the bartenders get treated pretty poorly. I tipped them well to try to make up for some of the rudeness. The guy that stamps people going out for cigarettes didn't stamp me then accused me of sneaking in when I tried to rejoin the show. Luckily, the other guy who was watching the stair recognized me. That put me in a poor mood and I left shortly after that.

What a crowd...what a show...ULTRA MADNESS. I walked about the theater trying to make my rassodocks what to do with the evening. there were demon trumpets and devil trombones floating about. the devotchkas and the malchicks walked about in trances, in separate worlds colliding. i walked about in my Clockwork Orange shirt, surveying the crowd. These were good ol' boys out to have an evening of intense amazement. Shpongle was an amazing set, from the stage to the dancers to the late midnight start. But Hallucinogen was off the charts, unbelievable, once in a lifetime like experience. After seeing Underworld, Massive Attack, Kruder and Dorfmeister and many other greats, I can clearly say this ranks up there as one of the best shows you may ever see. Even more importantly, Phish would be proud of the eclectic and downright cool crowd that showed up. Buy the ticket, take the ride and don't take any guff from these swine.

This was my first Shpongle experience. The visual aspect of the show as expected was outstanding, but the audio could be much better, in fact it was plain horrible. It was too loud, too bassy, all the detail of the middle section was completely lost and hissing highs. Beautiful flute, string instruments, fidelity of vocals - all gone, all turned into a mushy booming and hissing. I mean I understand that there were no live instruments, Simon was pretty much DJing his own tracks for a dance crowd, but even so, the acoustics was bad. I don't know if its the fault of Best Buy theater, or Shpongle, but I left in the middle of the show, disappointed...

This event was marketed as "Shpongle Live" which, if you have seen Shpongle live before is a spectacular event full of musicians, color and live performances. Shpongle is made up of of Raja Ram and Simon Posford of which only Simon was present. Worse still this was not live but rather Simon "pretending" to DJ (he wasn't wearing any headphones so even the DJ'ing wasn't live) and standing in a psychedelic tower which was cheap and had even worse visuals projected on it. Simon "played" all the hits. Not reworked versions....just the stuff directly from the CD's. To top it off the audience was made up of teenagers and children, some as young as 11 or 12. This is the worst event I think I have ever been to and I will be trying to get my money back. Absolutely joke.

I've seen Simon Posford perform Shpongle DJ sets many times, and this was by far the best. His "Shpongletron" stage setup adds a new visual element to the show, and his DJ set now includes a lot more "live" sounds, where in the past it was more of him simply segueing 2 tracks together. Highly recommend this show to both new and old fans - I know for myself, after seeing him perform DJ sets in the past I felt they were getting a little stale and same-y... you owe it to yourself to give him another chance, if you felt this way also!

Lynx was decent, random rab was great, and shpongle was phenomenal. The shpongletron is an impressive stage err... thing. Never seen anything like it. He played some tastey tunes, more varied than I was expecting. While it was a dj set, it felt like live music. There was a tangivle eb and flow you could say. I had a good time.

So i am a HUGE shpongle/simon posford fan. And I thought the music he played on wednesday night was amazing. however, i am noticing a trend in the shows that i have been going to and this show was a great example. Musicians seem to be designing their shows with a new purpose; to aid in the effects of the drugs people take at shows. The music builds and grows in the form of a trip and it seems that musicians are interested greatly in making their music so that the crowd can have a better drug experience. Now there is nothing wrong with this, but is is degrading the art? It's just a question, is it wrong?

Doors opened at 8:15pm. First set was some terrible rap/dubstep DJ at 9:30pm. The music didn't fit the audience at all. Everyone was confused at who this guy was. Second set was Desert Dwellers at 11:30pm. They were alright, not as experimental as Simon, but had a good sound. Shpongle didn't show up until 12:30pm, after many had left in disgust, myself included.

Based on limited information and a very creative thumbnail pic of some cirque du soleil type characters I expected more of a performance with a dj. What I got was a theater with no seats on the first floor, with a pair of djs opening without light show for roughly an hour followed by an intermission whose curtain call revealed a large "pod" type contraption complete with LED LIGHTS, and a sort of projector skin playing patterns and fractals to the beat while several large cutouts revealed a single dj within. Just say its a dj set next time.

Not only did the show start 2.5 hours late... When it started , an amateur dj who played a mix of dubstep, hip hop, and mainstream electronic music managed to torture us for a whole hour. His genre was completely different than shpongle or dessert dwellers, it was just horrible! Dessert dwellers , who we also were excited to see also bored us for another hour and when shpongle finally came on at 1230am... It was just not like what we expected or hoped for. A one man show with lights . We left 20 mts after shpongle began. I am a big fan of shpongle, and i was so excited to finally see them. I was completely dissappointed!

ticket says 8 pm,, dj who opened started at 10,, two hours from d opening time,, he sucked!!, he was so terrible,, he played all kind of non quality music,, from dubstep to trance to mainstream to lovesongs,, just all over d place,, doesnt even came close to shpongle muzik,, d crowd behind me was saying d same thing,, couple guys went to the technician and ask him to let that dj get off the stage,, that dj was so enjoying himself alone that it took him awhile to notice that d texhnician is flashing him off d stage,, i bet that dj wont even get near south beach to play,, then desert dwellers got on d stage,, then finally shpongle showed up at 1230,, if i would have known that he will show up alone and play as a dj,, id rather stay at home and listen to their album,, i was so disappointed that i left after 20 minutes of simon playing his muzik in d dj booth,,, whole experience was so disappointing,,and excruciating torture!

Simon is a genius, there's no doubt about it, but I really wanted to see Raja Ram, as well some live musicians. Posford had some highlights in his set: the visuals were phenomenal, sometimes pairing very well with the music and moving you through time with a fluid bliss. But the bottom line is that Simon spent most of the time rehashing samples from Shpongle's various albums without adding much in the way of new substance. Sure he rearranged some tracks, but it wasn't in such a way that kept me captivated. I suppose this review is directed towards those who grew to love Shpongle as unique, eclectic narrative on life and the human consciousness. I saw this as, mostly, a derivative of Simon and Raja's vision of Shphongle, the original form being lost in mechanization.

I was so glad to finally get an opportunity to see Shpongle live in Florida. It was everything I hoped for and more. I only wish that they could come by here more frequently and that more psychedelic events such as this could take place in Florida.

The show starts out w/ phuture primitive and he gets the party started with some nice dubsteppy, transient sounds with some awesome visuals that were projected on a white sheet behind him. His visuals along with his sound got you captivated in the moment. We then left to smoke during a break between phuture primitive and sphongle. When coming back inside, Alex was just getting started and his stage looked INCREDIBLE! He starts off a lil slow and chill but 15 min into his set and he has the entire house of blues rocking! He's a quirky fellow up on stage and his facial expressions are priceless. He sings along to his songs and bleeps and booms with his beats as well. The visuals were out of this world! I've never witnessed such bright, vivid colors that morph into such amazing geometric shapes and patterns! What a night! If Shpongle is coming to your town its a must see!!

The warmup shows were pretty good.. some standard dubstep with Michale Miretic (don't remember his name). Phuturephanatic had some good house music, as did Break Science. The warmup shows were, overall, pretty good, and each played for about an hour starting at 9. Shpongle/Simon Posford started up at midnight. The visual stimulus was hypnotic, as always. The music was entrancing. Awesome show, with one great mood of music transitioning into the next for a whirlwind of sensation.

This was my first time seeing Shpongle and I was hoping to see the full set up for the shows I have seen online. I was at least expecting Ram to be there. However, it was just Simon in the DJ booth. That said, it was an amazing set. The sound was great, the atmosphere was great, and the visuals were superb. I would probably go see them again if they came to town, but I might go out of my way to see them with their full setup.

Phutureprimitive was a great opener. EOTO was absolutely amazing, it felt like their own show rather than just another opener. The Lotus stage was stunning. Simon Posford's Sphongle DJ set was beyond words. It was absolutely perfect. Simon's mixing was fantastic, it was great to hear my favorite Shpongle songs reworked. The Shpongletron 2.0 is such an amazing improvement, all of the visuals were perfect and the 3D effects were very cool. Overall, the show was perfect from start to finish! The venue itself was very large which was nice. It was also air conditioned which was completely necessary at this show. My only real complaint was the fact that security made me throw away my unopened water bottle before I could enter. Then I was charged $4 for a water bottle which was poured into a cup so I couldn't close it and dance and the water was spilling all over me and everyone in the crowd along with all of their beers and waters. With how much everyone was dancing and how long the show was I feel like free water should have been provided or at least they should have let me bring in my own.

This was my third time seeing Shpongle, but this incarnation was unique. The visuals were like nothing I had ever seen before. Projections of swirling images and colors onto a flower shaped DJ "contraption." And the music! Oh my god, it was soooo heavy and beautiful in a way that bordered between spiritual and other worldly. I wish I was still there!

What a galactic experience. So vivid and unforgettable. Loud but not obnoxiously loud. Lustrous sounds and euphoric moods! Dancing and fun for all to be had. Random Rab opening it up was good warm-up for the loitering crowd. His music had a wide spectrum of emotions: from dark and introspective to vibrant and out-going. We didn't get the vertical Shpongletron, but some horizontal approximation. There were three talented hula dancers, and I love when the three formed a tantalizing multi-armed imitation of an illustrious diety such as Genesha or Shiva.

Simon Posford presented a show beneath his talents. It was full of gimmicks (shop worn samples and rediculous "dancers"). Just right for those that tripped but hollow for those that didn't. In contrast, Bluetech explored broad harmonics within his trademark syncopated rhythms, modulating tempos and exploring the mood of the audience. Loved Bluetech. Shpongle, meh.

I had heard really good things about Spongle but I ended up honestly quite disappointed with their performance. When you have to ask to make sure that the headliner is in fact the headliner, that's when you know you've have been let down. Visuals and the other stuff was good but the music, thumbs down.

Simon delivered a fantastic musical journey with his magical DJ booth to add to the adventure! Cool crowd! Young ravers to "experienced" hippies, all having a great time! Venue was plenty big enough. Plenty of room to stand and dance, not much to sit. This was not a show for sitting anyway! They did want $12 for parking and wouldn't let us leave the car overnight. We parked in the overnight lot at the nearby train station instead. Alcohol was real expensive and the only bar was in the brightly lit lobby. Saved us money!

Loved both Phutureprimitive and Sphongle. The venue is not big enough for dancing tho. And I love that part of a show. And not to complain but the last set a pitch so loud affected my eardrum. Never had that happen in my 20+ years of event going. But I still loved the show. Would go again if not at the state theater.

Simon put on a mind blowing show! The new Shpongletron set is amazing and the Visuals by Zebbler are so fluid and perfectly choreographed. Highly recommend! Stay Shpongled!

Shpongle was amazing! His FireWire card crashed 5 minutes before show time, and I could barely tell!

I was hoping to see Shpongle as an instrumental band... but I should have expected this. The ticket was very cheap and the venue was small. It was just very disappointing to see Simon DJing on his computer *sigh* kind of reminded me of Infected Mushroom on fast forward. Hardly recognizable as Shpongle.

Shpongle was amazing. Could not believe the show ended at at 11pm on a Saturday night. HOB is hands down the worst venue in sd.

Sphongle was AMAZING! His set was beautiful, the visuals were outstanding, and the Sphongletron has never looked better! The music was great, and the crowd was really feeling the vibe. I love Shpongle's range -- I heard carnival music, flamenco, psytrance, and more all in one set. As far as the performance is concerned, Sphongle knocked it out of the park. That being said, House of Blues needs to make some major adjustments to their security. It wasn't until my group had parked our car blocks away, walked to the venue up three flights of stairs and up to the front doors that we learned many of the items we had on us weren't permitted inside the venue. Our options at that point were to leave them on a table (and we were told the staff were not responsible for the stuff left on there) or walk allllll the way back to our car to lock it up. I get that some things (light up clothing, kandi bracelets) weren't permitted due to their ties with the drug culture (outlawing them is pointless and asinine, IMHO), but a fanny pack and lipstick? Really? If you're going to be so petty and outlaw items that shouldn't be prohibited, then put a notice on the website or on the event page!

I was glad to see Shpongle return to South Florida after killing it last year on a weekday. This show was excellent. He did not dissapoint. I was definitely liking the new visual setup. Desert Dwellers were also incredible. I was really looking forward to seeing them for the first time. I hope they return again.

The sold out crowd that's who. Not knowing them well but listening to a few tunes and reading about them from fan comments got us to the show. What a blast! Crazy cool lights, amazing band + 8 dancers, eastern influenced dance vibe, all a great time!

I was left completely speechless after Shpongle finished playing. The performance was fantastic--the band was totally in sync with one another, the costumes were extravagant and beautiful, and the dancers were extremely talented. I loved that everyone on stage had a smile on their face as if they were enjoying the show as much as the audience. If I could, I would see Shpongle every day of the week. I think this night may have been the best night of my life.

Love this group! Great setting (FOX theater) and a wonderful performance. If my friends boyfriend had a better attitude I would have had an even better time. Please Please Please come back to the Bay Area soon. I may just go alone next time so that nothing can distract me from these amazing wizard musicians!

i paid $63 for this ticket and i paid proabaly about 2 or 3 times what it was worth. The sound sucked. simply put. hardly a live band. no horns. could barely hear a lot of the instruments at times. one guy did a hangdrum solo and no one could hear the first 3 minutes of it. the singers were godawful. drummer was good and raja rams the man. shpongletron is 20 times better and half the price. visually it was the sickest thing ive seen but the sound was just terrible. it was like they tried to jam to their recordings (which they played over) and then somehow tried to get back on beat. disappointing. this was a show. not a concert.

Such an incredible show. I will never forget it. It was awesome that Shpongle played in both Oakland and New York, two of the most heated cities for the Occupy! Movement. Let's keep raising the roof on our collective consciousness!

I've looked on youtube for Sphongle's past shows, this one has the most elaborate costume, with an amazing crowd and atmosphere, not to say the magic flute, black light and neon colours, hallograms, and the balloon finale! The best show ever.

Shpongle was really awesome and the Fox Theater alone is also amazing. Opener, Lynx was also great! My only complaints: sitting in balcony, A/C was blowing really cold on our backs. I was going to grab my jacket from the car, but learned I would not be allowed to re-enter. WHY!

My wife and I drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco to see Shopongle. It was the 1st getaway for the both of us in several years, yes years... sad I know. But this weekend was amazing and we owe it all to Simon and Shopongle. Thank you for giving us a reason to enjoy life on this planet! Sincerely, Joshua/Brandi

The Shpongle experience is unforgettable. This was the best show I have ever seen and now I can't wait to see Shpongletron. Definitely a must see show.

A great show with driving, incessant rhythms of mind, body, and soul, Shpongle delivered a well rounded, involving, evolving and eclectic show of half Cirque du soleil and half wild psychedelic woodland dream in the Fox Theatre, whose trippy decor resonated perfectly. From musical crowd pleasing favorites, to mind bending brilliantly lit psychedelic slinky dancer and demigods and satyr, Shpongle live is a show I will see whenever they return, however many times they come thru. Well done Ram Dass and Simon Posford....

Shpongle are the avatars of the psychedelic trance show, putting on a smorgasbord of hallucinatory imagery powered by exquisitely intertwined melody and beats .A feast of sight and sound evocative of the alternate universe which portal can be crossed through manipulation of the pineal gland with forbidden compounds- Fabulous wonders and a simply marvelous extravaganza - hope they come to your neighborhood soon!
