Nero at The Fillmore Friday December 30th, 2011
Screams of emotion, cries of laughter all drowned out by heart felt bass drops and synth leads engulfing a room of people of all ages. Miami Beach Florida’s night life scene patiently waited for the long awaited return of Nero. Crowds of people from all over Florida flooded the theatre doors at nine, ecstatic and enthusiastically ready to release their bottled up excitement.
Embracing the feelings produced through the speakers, not a single person stood still, all at once quite in sync with the music. Lights spastically glared across faces and walls all over the Fillmore, building the intensity of the full visual and audio experience. Banger after banger was dropped, from songs produced by Nero, Skrillex, to the unexpected System of a Down. Not a single dull face, nor single dull moment in the night.
Crowds and groups merging into bigger groups as the P.L.U.R. meaning really pulled it self together. Seemingly enough for one night everyone was there for the same reason and that reason was DUBSTEP. All judgments set aside. Music brought everyone together and helped new friendships arise.
My expectations for the event where high, and weren’t let down. Unfortunately the event didn’t go till 2 as scheduled, it was shut down earlier due to younger audience at the event. I wasn’t too thrilled about the fact that it was an all age’s event but thanks to the great security it still ran quite smoothly. The crowd was very responsive and friendly.
The venue itself was gorgeous, very fancy, classy, and had two floors. There was a very full dance floor and crowded pit. I enjoyed the fact that they had multiple means of access to enter the theatre from the lobby. Additionally they had many vending areas on all sides of the theatres outer lobby. Another great thing about the theatre is that it had plenty of seating in the back and upper floor for the tired ones that had been dancing their shoes off.
All in all it was my first time at the Fillmore in Florida and I enjoyed the venue very much. I will definitely return for other events.
