Originally posted by kamil I know i prolly sound like some hardcore music lover thats searching for totally enlightment, but thats because i see DJ'ing and music as hardcore as an art style as i do with my photography and graphic design. ive been listening to trance for 6 or 7 years nowz so its becoming hard to impress me.....

We're not worthy, we're not worthy!

what type of headphones were they that he threw into the crowd that got distroyed? so sad. i really need a new pair of headphones, and if i was one of the ppl that got a hand on those, i woulda been so pissed if i missed the chance to retreive them, cause they went to garbage.


ps. about the early replies...why does everyone always have to be so underground??? whats the deal? why do some ppl never want to hear familiar music? i have such a great time when i hear familiar stuff, i like a blend with stuff i don't know to...but i have a much better time when i recognize at least a good 25% of the music the djs playing (i keep pretty up to date, because for many ppl, the recognize factor is usualyl even less then that.) i guess lots of you don't like mark oliver then? because he drops lots of old tunes, and i love that about him. i remember he dropped stuff like sholan - can you feel (thrillseekers remix) and neo and farina - binary refind a year after they came out, and i was like wholey shit this is fuckin awesome! hearing stuff you like "that is good" is great no matter how old it is, i think the lot of you just try to be cool thinking you're so underground and everything is outdated.

Hey kamil, do you honestly think you are going to like every track Tiesto drops? There were a few tracks I didnt really enjoy because of persoanl taste, but I saw that other people in the crowd did, which was great. Stop being so negative about Traffic and the "breaks track", and start being positive about the many tracks that were packed into those 7 hours, like Voyage !! EEKK !!

I bet you he dropped either Rank 1 - [email protected] or after me

after me could possibly be the 'breaks' track that you guys are talking about? that's really an half ass attempt of making a breaks track tho. and i doubt tiesto would really play some real breaks.

Woke up this morning to read the rest of the reviews and see what I've missed...

Dude....did you go for the music or the women?
IMHO the ppl I met were all there for Tiesto.....and the crowd was great....young or old....end of story.

But tell me what's wrong with 40 yr old men and women appreciating the music? No offence but ya sound like a teen who can't qualify for fake id or travel miles....and I'm not saying this to defend 40yr olds(cuz I fall below that number) or maybe I am, since I got friends over their 40's who like Tiesto....but if you'd have any travel miles on you, then you'd know in ibiza and amsterdam.....the crowd is usually 70% under 30's and 30% over 30's. Everyone still has a good time and no one gets scared of a 40 yr old (unless her eyes were locked on you....which I somehow doubt you'd let that happen).
So let's not start any bashing (age, DJ'ing or otherwise) in this thread. OK noob just kiddin

Everyone....we gotta learn to laugh and be positive....that's the way to true happiness and true love

quote:

MUZIC: pretty good set, slow at times.. HIGHLIGHT when he dropped TEARS FROM THE MOON - CONJURE ONE i love that song !!!

+1

quote:

INTERIOR: was lacking alot of chill space, they could have done a better job by throwing in a dozen extra couches... there was no place to sit down! OVERALL: 7/10

OMG you are so right about this. I'm surprised no one mentioned this b4. It's just sad to drop $30+ and then have to sit on the floor

MY OVERALL: 8.5/10 (1.5 loss was for the coat check & the seating)

as if he played "airtight", fucking awesome.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Ok, since u guys can't follow a simple request, I'll take care of it for you.
I'm moving this debate topic here .
Keep the review thread for the reviews.
If I see anyone breaking the rules.... so help you....

Originally posted by rounder19 WHAT A FREAKING PARTY....i still have not went to sleep, but i have to write this review before i go crash.....for two days....what can i say but i love a toronto party...me and my brother flew up from miami to visit family and more importantly catch mr verwest in action. we are a couple tiesto whores who would never miss a 6 hr set in north america.....on to the nite entry: $0 ---friend got me and him comped by craig docks: first time here...heard alot of good things about the venue, so i was really looking forward to the show...coat check looked like a bitch but not if you go to the front and blantantly cut in line...total time 10 min...not bad after seeing the line and hearing the horror stories. the docks wasnt as big as i thought it would be, the blocks reminded me of Space but only 50 yds longer, kyrogenix were lacking...one gun? for such a large room..im spoiled by 34 NE 11th St.....no waits in the bathrooms was a ++ , and although some of you probably disagree....tijs playing in the booth instead of on stage was by far the best decision of the nite---nothing worse than stupid fans trying to get autographs while hes in the middle of making me dance...the booth allowed for minimum interuption, let him get in his zone and throw down a sick set. sound system was nice, all in all...a pretty solid venue for a event like this. crowd: great imo, great energy going in that main room, smiles on most faces, people were lost in the magik and/or their roll. very friendly. TAs: my goal was to meet as many of you as i could, i knew nat(tatgirl) from previous parties so i made her introduce me to many of you...(thank you so much!!) i was wearing the black shirt that said "tiesto in toronto" too many too name and remember but i enjoyed meeting you guys....LabourOfLove and last nite make my short list of my fav parties this year....i will be back soon...we shall party again.---in turn---get your asses down to miami for wmc. sean millar: wow i was very impressed, this cat had that place jumping, honestly noone could have opened that room better....i havent seen a room opened that well since the old markus schulz days at space. this guy is a local? ==== a gem TIESTO: rant=( i think this is my 15th time seeing him since Ultra 03, there really is no distance in N.A. that i wouldnt go to catch this guy play. when he is on his game, noone is even close to matching the energy/track selection in his sets..NOONE....ive seen ferry 12 times in the last 15 months and currently hes the only one on his best day (like his 5-1-04 SPACE SET) that comes close. sorry but paul van laptop and armin van anthem need not apply) rant over.. -----last nites set was pure magik....the boy was on point all nite, honestly the first two hours of his set was best imo-----besides wow-killa, interstate, and andy moor find-----i dare you to id two other songs in the first two hours--- tech trance/prog whatever you wanna call it---he was playing the most un-ID-able fat instrumentals. -the kind of tracks/sound only tiesto plays...and sadly most of those tracks you wont hear again unless hes given an extended set. (much like magik muzik nite wmc) those are the types of tracks that make the nite for me....who wants to go to a show and id the whole set? go to an armin show and you can do that because he plays nothing but anthems and the latest tunes from ASOT that are great but you've overplayed on your computer every week of the year. thats why i love tiesto so much cause he can balance his own productions/new tracks/anthems/classics so well in a set. pvd is top notch at this too. i saw a post on here about someone being pissed that he played some of his overplayed hits----if you think that during the course of a 7 hr set hes not going to slip in his own popular productions like Love comes again and traffic---as old and played out as those tracks are right now---then you are a fucking retard. anyways as expected he played lots of his olympic cd+just be tracks along with a couple from nyana and some old tunes from isos series. i love the classics he played especially PUSH-UNI NATION at the end there..sickness....the energy level last nite was consistently high for most of the nite although a portion of the middle part of the set was downright slow and low....ahh the journey....im ranking this set tied with Magik muzik nite for my set of the year...but with the amount sick instrumentals throughout the whole nite - i want to give this the edge. after the show..my brother told him that this set was neck in neck with magik muzik nite and he said that they were just talkin about that...and tijs started doing balancing gesture with his hands....too close too call.....until next time just be! ryan

100000 % AGREED With every word said. I am getting chills from the video's.

I just realized that after reading a few of the review, I forgot to thank all of the TOTA's I partied with for a great night.

DVD2004 - what would a party be without my best friend! You are awesome, and I know this won't be your last party like you say it is going to be
Cambridge crew - Cale, Dan, and Kelly, the whole weekend rocked, but you guys definately made the party a blast! Look forward to partying with you many more times
Kingston crew - where the f*k were u guys all night??? I saw partEgurl and DVD2004 and that was about it. Hope you guys had a blast!
RJ - what can I say, you rock! You always make a party
Cuzo - man you are a machine! I don't think I saw you stopmoving once, you always made me wanna dance when I was getting tired.
Starsearcher - the biggest tiesto fan I know! You were having a blast and that made me have a blast too. Don't forget to send me those pics!
All the new TOTA's - amb, endlesswave, tordan, maxuth, and so many others, thanks for the good time!

Originally posted by Skipper A set with the well placed classic track is not the same as hour after hour of anthems. I love hearing the odd track I can ID, but I get bored as hell when a DJ is playing records that half the crowd already OWNS. Tiesto gets probably 30 or 50 promos a week from all over the world - it's sad when TOTA can ID 80% of his set.

we didnt even id 50 % of his set




this site is called trance addict for a reason.. im sure if you talked to some hardcore techno heads they would be id'ing 90% of your set or any other techno dj for that matter

Originally posted by kamil Ex; i saw sasha and zabiela play at Guv on oct. 9..........couldnt ID a single track, and, more importantly, a consistent style was achieved throughout, even while switching from DJ to DJ. incredible. and all new music as well. Very nicely done. That is what i call, getting my moneys worth, and i got a ton for 20 bucks to see both and even chat it up with zabiela.

To tell you the truth I would propbably fall asleep and the money would be wasted.

When did you hear anything other that the traffic on Antenna Radio? I wish I knew the station frequency?

so true. i just read for 30 minutes and only 5 minutes of that was reviews. that's 16.6% real reading. what the hell? if i go into a review thread, i wanna read reviews, not an arguement on this crap.

eventho, i was working that night, i still got to party a little bit and the tunes sure made me move. was tired at the end but everyone was really nice and that makes a big difference at a party.

tiesto is NOT my favorite by far but he did play Remy and Roland! WIKKID!!!

PS. I need names to faces in the pictures.

Originally posted by dEsidEL i wasn't able to ID 80% of it .. then again i'm not a DJ .. i don't know why there's such a debate over what constitues a good set, so long as people are having fun and enjoying themselves, that's all that should really matter in the end

I agree completely.
But I don't think I'm too off base to think that a lot of people there would have loved whatever tiesto threw down, old or new. Why not be a bit more creative?

quote:

Originally posted by Skipper Why not be a bit more creative?

i dont want to disrespect anyone here. i know the majority of this board would give their life for the guy but it seems as though all tiesto really does is play old "classic" anthems. now that isnt a BAD thing. i know this because it was moments like these that sasha would trop tracks like underworld - dark & long, xpander, enjoy the silence etc but at the same time he would be very creative with his sets using his tracks as building blocks. creating a force not just with BIG TUNES but other unknown tracks. his ability to layer track over track is what makes sasha SASHA. after listening to his most recent set which was brought to my attention by InfinityHigh (Sasha @ The Forum) i could not believe my ears...BLOWN AWAY. creativity is extremely important. for this reason i just cant understand why so many people consider tiesto #1. there were soooo many people who went to this "show" and didnt know a thing about him. tiesto caters to the "commercial crowd" and his music selection from what i saw represents that...

i guess im just trying to understand from all of you what he does thats so right

back to work for me

well that depends on what your definition of being creative is. there were people there who were obviously there to see him play some of his own productions which he did, which is something i can't say as being unexpected..

for a DJ like Tiesto, trying to please everyone will always be a challenge. he'd have to appease both people who have always been into his music who are looking for something fresh, as well as those who have just gotten into his sounds and are expecting him to throw down his well known stuff.

the fact that there's even a debate about this, just further reinforces the amount of scrutiny a DJ of his stature receives when you garner this much publicity and fame..

I gotta get my hand on a copy of his set..


A co-worker of mine was on her way in, slipped on ice and broke her ankle...


Poor gurl

Hello,

was the set broadcasted?

Can I listen to it or download it somewhere to listen to?

thanks

Tiesto is the f*cking man...

Other than coat check (WTF did they close if for 1/2 hour for?? are they stupid) the night was perfect, or almost perfect, suburban train would've topped the night off nicely, but after hearing Luke Chable's "The Shepard", I was already satisfied!!! I thought the set up of the club looked great, except that half the club had no view of Tiesto... they should have at least kept him on the big screens that were set up around the club, who actually looks at the imagery on those screens anyway, I want to see Tiesto goin' nuts!! We were in front of the bar at the back of the club most of the night, we had no problems finding a spot to get our groove on, not to mention we were surrounded by big breasted whores as well... yeah, so they were with shirtless juice monkee's, it still made for nice scenery. I would've loved to have heard his mix of Cirque du Soleil's Mer Noire, but maybe another time... It was the kind of night you didn't want to end, at one point, I had a girlfriend of mine pinch to make sure I wasn't dreaming!!! Can't wait til he comes again... Oh, I got to meet Tiesto on Friday, Dec 3. I was going for lunch on Wellington St downtown, and he was standing in the street waiting for a friend all by himself. I got to talk to him for like 10 minutes or so, he's the coolest guy!!!

Are you sure it was Tiesto?

GRR! Some other guy was giving me hell that i didnt like tiestos tracks, wtf? said i liked all EXCEPT for that crappy breaks one, his own stuff (cept for a couple) and this one other track.

As for the breaks one....i really dont rememeber, im not one to ask, it was prolly around 4am or later...

wow what a night....me and my brother came all the way from miami to see this show and we were not disappointed( i was wearing the shirt that said "all i want for xmas is a six hour tiesto set").. anyways the guy who opened for tiesto threw down a sick opener, if this guy was a local in miami, i would be following him probably from week to week...as for tiesto....along with magik muzik nite one of the best sets ive seen this year, such a close call...i thought the first two hours were splendid, the patented tiesto energy surging thru the crowd, tijs very animated, VERY INTO HIS SET...then in the middle he slowed it down, things got a little technoish for me, but you have to realize tiesto is about the JOURNEY, he did this purposly, he brings you up, then lulls you for awhile then takes you back up, it was brilliant imho, and the final two hours were just mind blowing to me, with a harmonius mix of new and old tunes MAGIK-ly placed, OMFG i died when he dropped push-uni nation, one of my all time faves-goosebumpage...now im not an id whore, but i dl'd new trance all the time so i know a tune when i hear one, and i must say i couldnt id maybe close to have the nights tracks, he played so many dope instrumentals i couldnt id and i loved it, thats why i love tiesto so much, he always brings the freshest tunes, reminded me of magik muzik nite in march, where i still havent heard some of those tunes to date, and they were insane too..i love surprises...to sort of conclude on my review i thought the vibe and energy was incredible, lightin was awesome, and both djs rocked the party..enuff said.. now for those of you who say tiesto is not who he used to be, bla bla..get over it..the musik isnt what it used to be, and he has changed his style accordingly, so quit living in the past...and yeh i dont like 'just be' much myself, but if i got to listen to a few of those tracks over the course of a 7hour set, so be it, he played plenty of killah tunes to make up for it, give the guy a break, he's only human...sorry for the rant... anyways for those of you i might of met that night on the boards, nice to party with you all, toronto is fun, even tho its focking cold as shit up there!!! neil

Can you name the breaks track that Tiesto apparently "wrecked" on (based on your comments)? Can you name the preceding and following track as well?

It's a bit of a stretch to simply believe any sort of unfounded comment posted on a msg board...

Unless he played it while I was hiding in the corner, I certainly didn't hear it.
