| Opera Nightclub in Atlanta is the Friday night home to big name DJ concerts! |
 |
| Flew up to check out DJ duo Gabriel & Dresden (USA)! |
 |
| Last saw them in 2011 at Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando during a thunderstorm-shortened set. |
 |
| Opera was packed! |
 |
| But plenty of room to dance in this spacious venue! |
 |
| I had arrived around 11:30PM not realizing there was no opening act. |
 |
| And Gabriel & Dresden were already playing! |
 |
| Their set ran from 10PM to 2:30AM nonstop! |
 |
| Music was mostly Vocal Trance! |
 |
| Most of their set was their own music! They've got the years to be able to do that! |
 |
| Crowd getting in to 2006 #1 hit "Tracking Treasure Down". |
 |
| Club packed to the rafters! |
 |
| Spotted on the dance floor: Kelly & Caleb from Louisville |
 |
| Spotted offstage: Cute as a button (guy version) |
 |
| Spotted onstage: Cute as a button (gal version) |
 |
| Gabriel & Dresden got back together again in 2011 after a number of years performing separately. |
 |
| Both DJ's were quite animated all night and you could tell they were really getting into their show! |
 |
| Close to the end of the night, absolutely blowing-out the club with the long version of their hit "As The Rush Comes" which they put out in 2003 under the name "Motorcycle"! |
 |
| Amazing night in Atlanta! |
 |
| A good time was had by all! |
Opera in Atlanta has an interesting history. The building has been around since the early 1900s. Around 1990, it was turned into a nightclubs: Petrus/Axys, Eleven 50, etc..

Good to know, thanks. The building did look like it was a former theater inside. Now surrounded by high rise condos and hotels, I bet at one time it was a rather eclectic neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteWhen that club was Petrus, it was insane.
