DT’s always said that his brand of classics includes “present and future” as well as past.

But could he revisit his dearly departed Be Yourself party – which ran every Friday for five years at liquor-license-lacking Vinyl, starting in 1999 – without indulging in some nostalgia?

For a crowd that included the original ‘heads and newbies who only knew the legend, Tenaglia did that scary melting pot thing he does so well: He played it all, from Vinyl-era favorites like Underground Sound Of Lisbon’s “The Lights” and Paul Jay’s “Spiritual Battery,” to Wild Pitch smack “It’s Our Turn,” to his new work-in-progress (working title? “Dangly Dong.")

This wasn’t about a single time period or club; it was what DT said himself at the night’s start: “I’m gonna take you on a tour / Of a feeling.”
