APPROXIMATELY 11:45 p.m. when THE STAR team arrived inside the venue at the Palisados Go-Cart Track, one immediately got the feeling that the early vibes were still being built, as the spacious venue was not yet filled to half its capacity.
Not to worry though, the FAME's road party held last Saturday found the right climax as patrons were only slow in coming out, but a couple hours later, there was hardly even enough space to move to the bar to buy a drink.
The Captain, Colin Hines, was on the turntables at midnight, spinning patrons into a mad frenzy with his selection of tunes like Beenie Man's Chakka Chakka and Heart Attack, Vegas' Hot Wuk and Matterhorn's Dutty Wine.
Shifted into overdrive
However, the gear was shifted into overdrive when the 'party animal' Kurt Riley took over on the turntables, as he welcomed everyone to the FAME road party and ordered, "dim di light dem." And as the words of Lexxus' 'walk out inna di video ca' yuh cute gyal' played, there was pandemonium as the women put their best foot forward, and patrons, in general, followed suit and pulled closer to the front of the venue where all the action was taking place.
One woman, took off her high-heeled shoes and hung them on the barrier that separated the audience from the stage area and pulled a pair of flip flops from her handbag, put them on and immediately began to dance up a storm.
Tunes like Elephant Man's Online and Sizzla's Karate also had the crowd doing the dance moves in unison.
When the hip-hop flavour was added to the mix, the women began to Drop It Like It's Hot (Snoop Dogg and Pharrell) and got 'out and bad' when Bogle's All Dem Deh was mixed on the hip-hop rhythm.
Soca mix
Then there was the soca mix which brought members of the FAME team to the stage, as they moved to the sound of Alison Hinds' Roll It Gal.
The Timeless dancers then took the stage, bringing their dance vibes 'To Di Worl'.
At 1:30 a.m., patrons were treated to some live performances, which Leftside got started by warning, 'dem boys, they need to stay far from me ' And as Leftside sang Back It Up, he asked, "uno ready fi surprise?" It was Sean Paul who entered the stage, as screams erupted around the venue. Sean Paul completed his song with Leftside then invited Shane O to perform their latest single together.
Patrons were given no time to recover from this surprise however. The lights were dimmed for, "the moment you've been waiting for" according to Deidra. It was Busy Signal who 'stepped out' and immediately got the energy going once again with hits like Rise and Beat, Rising to the Top, Unknown Number among others.
But the surprises for the night were far from over as Busy said, "a me an mi fren dem deh yah," before he was joined by Bling Dawg and Mavado. The noise inside the venue was almost deafening as Bling Dawg declared, 'wi nuh punk pon di battlefield' and Mavado reminded, 'even if wi lef di gully, don't worry.'
Mavado also dropped a few short lines from his current hit, Money Changer, as they left the stage for Busy to take control once more.
"Suh wah, a mi fren dem," Busy boasted as he went back into his set singing, Nah Guh A Jail Again.
The crowd was not yet ready for Busy to 'Step Out' on them and he was recalled to the stage for an encore performance.
"Uno lock off di light mek mi deejay fi FAME people dem," Busy said as he re-entered the stage singing These Are The Days.
After the excitement of the live performances ended, it was 'party time' once more, as the FAME selectors cranked up the wheels of steel with tunes like Soldier Boy and Party Like A Rock Star.
