Concert Report: AAHZ These Are The Breaks (The Beacham)

Thanksgiving Eve in Orlando usually means that it's time for an AAHZ Reunion!
Arriving at The Beacham around 10:30PM last night and finding DJ Andy Hughes (USA) delivering last night's promised theme of Old School Breaks!
And despite my relatively early arrival, the club was already jammed!
A part of Orlando's dance scene from way back, he now resides in Dallas.
DJ Kimball Collins (T) taking over around 11PM!
Hard to tell all these shaved heads apart last night without a scorecard, but that's Kimball mixing it up AAHZ-style with DJ Dave Cannalte (USA)!
And by now there weren't too many vacancies on the floor!
Packed in all directions!
Of course we not only know Cannalte from AAHZ, but also from our beloved Mannequins!
Kimball is resident DJ at several clubs in Bangkok.  We spotted him at Q-Bar there a couple years ago!
Packed as far as the eye could see!
DJ Icey (USA) taking control around midnight!
Mostly Old School set with lots of hits from back in the day!
Crowd going crazy for "Sweet Harmony"!
"Energy"
Icey driving home the point that so many songs we loved back then were actually Breaks!
Looking good!

A little after 1AM, we only got one half of DJ duo Stanton Warriors.
Not that it mattered; he just kept going and going into the wee hours with amazing music!
And at 2AM nobody was leaving yet!
Another amazing AAHZ show in the books!  A good time was had by all!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
