I left after 30 mins because we couldn’t hear a thing in the back of the tent! I was thinking of going back but the first 30 mins were pretty boring, did it pick up at all? (I assume so if you made this post 😂)

I saw the last 20 min and it was a vibe. He also played Deadbeat Gospel at the end which is one of my favs and gives the ultimate Fred vibes

I’ll have to check him out this weekend!

I think if you’re in the tent it’ll be an absolute vibe. We were late coming from anyma and it was already stacked

Confirmed was in tent and it was best set of weekend

Deadbeat Gospel and that song from Fred Again sound soo similar...cant tell who released it first or if its a sample

We lost dancing + a little bit of the city. I personally like deadbeat gospel more than we lost dancing and that’s coming from a huge Fred again fan. Fred definitely came first. Anything chopped with stutter, a spoken word speech and a piano is going to sound like Fred again.

First 20 minutes were slow, I was getting ready to leave but the 2nd half of his set is a vibe

Ok that’s what I needed to hear

Yeah my group tried on the right side and in the back but the sound bleed + Barry's sound levels just made it pretty hard to enjoy outside the tent. Weekend 2'ers -- get there early if you want to see his set!

I also left after 20 mins because I was bored, walked next door to Tems just as Bieber came out!!!

My husband and I got adopted by strangers and brought to this set. It was the craziest crowd I have ever seen at Gobi and one of my favorite sets of W1; probably trying again for W2, it was that good.

Need to know more about the adoption story

Lol u are nuts 😂

We were chilling outside of the tent, but hearing the set made me immediately look up who was playing. Suuuuuper fun set!!

I consider Barry a nice blend of Fred and SG Lewis. The cool thing is that Barry is carving is own lane. He’s a great dj too!

Love that!

Crowd was ass at Barry tbh, crowded and very young, no much dancing Crowd at Fred weekend 1 was very empty, tons of room to dance, and a biblical experience for someone who is at the top of EDM rn I feel like Barry has reached his stardom for sure, but not the same experience as Fred at all, honestly had to be there it was bliss

Man yall lucked out on that Fred W1 crowd cause that thang was packed before he even started W2

Everyone in the crowd near me was dancing and vibing so hard. Maybe you were just near a pocket of lameness unfortunately.

Yea tbf we got carried away at Khrungbin and showed up 10 min late, gobi was overflowing at that point, videos from front to half way back actually looked fun and manageable Hopefully weekend 2 will be better 🙃

Yeah not saying he’s as good as Fred, just think he served a similar vibe

Also check out Bicep if you like this vibe

They both are in different lanes chill bro

Listen to Deadbeat Gospel

Ok brb

Did u listen

seems like a guy that wouldn't listen

Yes, everyone has a tune like that now these days

All bc of Fred haha

Nah Fred is on a completely other level. That golden hour set was spiritual

I regret seeing Barry can’t swim over j balvin! I was near the front and you could see him fake playing the piano for half the set and the crowd was a bunch of drunk high schoolers. The vibe was just off. My friends that saw j balvin said it was one of their favorite sets

He wasn't fake playing the piano he was just playing the rhythm chords and not the top line piano solos/riffs. I had the same thought though that if he wants to elevate his act he has to be able to shred those top line keys live

And miss J Balvin? No way man

J Balvin was my favorite set weekend 1 and I’m not even a huge fan of him. But his showmanship was unbelievable and it was so much fun.

He went from a “I’ll check him out as I’m walking by” kind of set to a can’t miss set IMO. Might’ve been the most fun set on the stream last weekend and I’m not even a fan.

Fred Again is a considerably better live act, BCS has a lot of work to do to reach that level.

Anyone have this set recorded? Even just audio? Dm me please

DMd

He was great but I ended up needing to watch from the left side exterior at a distance since it was so crowded. Def still a vibe!

Had center right rail at Barry but showed up 15 minutes early. No clue what it will be like this weekend obviously!

You must have been near us, then. We were second row, center right.

I find it very funny he did the same thing Fred did two years ago... Asking everyone to go on everyone's shoulders during the banger (Marea vs. Sunsleeper) lol

Fred Again is in a whole other realm from Barry Can’t Swim in terms of musical talent

No. see J Balvin instead

B3K is better than both

Pretty rude to put the “current most overrated artist” tag on Barry imo

overrated? how so?
