That looks like the worst live gig in history.

Originally posted by djmetatron I've heard Paul van Dyk train wrek more than Tiesto, even with the vinyl scratch, but he doesn't seem to get as much shit. Granted Paul takes a few more risks when mixing, but still you think all the n00bs would complain just as much. The fact is Tiesto has recorded/broadcasted more sets than probably every other dj out there. More chances to fuck up mean more fuck ups, and so people hear it and DEFINATELY wanna complain about it.

i understand what you are saying. But when was the last time tiesto made you say wow, that was really good?

Originally posted by jonze234 his last performance in chicago has gone down as one of the most embarassing performances ever. i wasnt there but ill see if i can find the review thread of it. i guess he was completely drunk in the booth, talked to a bunch of people in the booth, and slacked off big time when it came to mixing.

I was there at even though I like Tiesto, that was a totally abysmal performance. It just seemed like he couldn't be bothered throughout the whole thing. The set had no flow he only really mixed a few of the tracks I saw (I left at about an hour and a half in) and the rest were just fader slams with some minor wrecks interspersed. It was a dissapointment and I'll be the first to say that Armin kicked his ass when he came here in October. I still think he's a good DJ, but he just seems to be all over the place as far as mixing goes and if I remember correctly he got pretty good reviews when he performed in Detroit the following day.

Originally posted by Abhay I have to say, I just wanted to remind everyone, that Magik V, Magik 6, and Magik 7, were all recorded in front of a live audience. In essence, Tiesto mixed well enough, to put his work straight onto CD. THat's not easy... When your gonna record a set, to slap onto a CD, u really have to prepared, and aware that you can't fuck up...

when they record livesets like that, they record the tracks to different channels and fix any "errors" later on

shh

its true his mixing is kind of slack sometimes but everytime ive seen him hes always delivered as far as danceable tunes and entertainment go

When I saw him live and he dropped Traffic (ok, I know I will get flamed for that, Traffic is overplayed and simple, OH MY!). No one can deny that song owns the dance floor.

Listen, Tiesto is more of a producer than a technically strong DJ. We all know that, if you want someone who is going to cut up tracks go see Holden. Tiesto can drop his signature tunes and slightly tweaked versions of tunes that can kill at just the right time like no other. He doesnt do 5 minute transitions or play 4 different tracks at once, so don't expect it.

And sorry about the show in Chicago, he must have been having a bad day, (or maybe got stiffed by the venue, it happens see: Santiago) all I can say is that everytime I've seen him he has been killer.

noooooo you missed the point. I was talking in the sence of mixing. I can drop Traffic just as well as Tiesto... But that doesn't make me #1.

It's the song selection that makes him what he is today. Every liveset i've heard with the exception of Disney (which actually was pretty good) kept me groovin' and on my feet.

Oh boy, another Tiesto thread.

noooooo you missed my point, you can't make a track like Traffic can you.

But that is something theoretically any dj can do, isn't it? I mean is he playing ultra underground blackhole tracks that are not released. Im not trying to say Tiesto is a bad dj. But I don't feel like there is much that separates him much from any other dj. At one point I would have agreed with you though...

I own traffic as well, as Just be, as well as Just be 4x12...

whats your point? Yes i feel like i can mix Traffic as well as Tiesto can... We are talking about djing arn't we?

Well as far as I know he produced it. And my point was I don't expect to be wowed by Tiesto's mixing but rather his tracks and production.

"Tiesto's Live DJing Skills"

I never argued that his DJing skills were phenomenal, the topic is on whether Tiesto sux at DJing, which he doesn't. He can spin.

And my point is that where he wows crowds is by his signature tracks, like Traffic. When Oakey or someone else plays Traffic it's cloning and lame, but when Tijs drops it, it's awesome.

lol, wouldnt that be the same for all the other tracks a dj would play

your not getting it dude, Tiesto has a SIGNATURE SOUND. When you go to a Tiesto show you know what your going to get, and thats because of his original tracks that he produces, as well as other good tracks that are tailored to his style. There really aren't a whole lot of DJs out there like him in fact. I think thats really misunderstood, even though he plays a lot of the same tracks as others there is still that Tiesto factor I can't really explain. Thats all I can say really.

Well put, end of discussion.

you are right, its the track selection
wich is the most important thing when djing.

quote:

Tiesto has been deejaying for 2 decades and shouldn't need to prove himself anymore...

just because you're number one doesn't give you the excuse to not challange yourself and take things to the next level

sure he doesn't do 5 min transitions or play 4 different tracks at once, but why not? he's number one, i'd expect the number one dj in the world to be able to wow me when he plays, show me something new that i don't know yet, push the limits... he has one job, you'd think he'd try to be as best as he can at it

he's just sitting there riding on his success not doing anything more

and about him playing too much and recording a lot

i play over 230 shows annually right now and i still push the envelope and try new things, i don't just show up and half ass my way through a gig, people pay hard earned money to hear me play and i never let them down, fans come first

tiesto needs to pull his head out of his ass and stick in back in his record bag
