All I know is that good DJs like Papa Sven don't need any fookin screens.

You sure know a lot. Good to have you in the forum.

So true. Not everyone's intelligence can be in the top .1 percentile like myself.

Yes I have a wonderful imagination. Thanks for the recognition and praise. I like girls though so...

Hey could you guys post some of the tracks he played??

last night

My conclusion from experiencing it live, tiesto is way overrated. To me he looked like he didn't give a damn during the time he played. We all begged him to play one more track at 3am and he didn't give a shit, he just took off (no thank you houston, hi bye, cheers, nada).
His set was pretty good i thought, from 2-3am the music was pumping but the thing is it was so hot everybody was tired and dehydrated (ever heard of big huge fans Bar Rio, it's a good invention for a night like that). His set wasn't epic by any means, and he is no trance superstar like his parties attendance comes to show, i have heard/seen/experienced way better sets than last night. He played a couple of his tracks and other ones which i can't ID. One track in particular was very beautiful i think it's one of his.

There was no room to dance and if there was any to desire, there was broken heineken bottles and plastic bottles/cups at least where i was standing (in the middle.) We were one of the last ones to leave and the club looked like a dump i mean are people pigs? do you throw beer bottles on the floor in your own house? disgusting behavior i might add.

Going to the bathroom was an event by itself, from the middle of the dancefloor to the bathrooms i met about 5 people just from trying to get through. Ridiculous cash cow bar rio, of course it's about the green, but all of us who paid 40$ to that event would have appreciated if you actually gave a fuck about clubbers experiences that night. And what is up with your stupid rules? my friend couldn't breath and rushed out to the main entrance only to find out she cannot go back in. I bet it boosted the bouncer's ego telling her she can't come back in. What a loser really seing somebody turned yellow trying to catch fresh oxygen.

The screens by the dj booth i thought were very neat visuals that complimented the fire water earth whatever theme he had going, something different than the boring look bar rio has (after going there about 8 times). They should really do something similar(not screens necessarily) for every dj for example Avalon in Los Angeles. The sound last night was the best at Bar Rio to date since i started attending the events here.

Overall, i did have a blast. I will see tiesto again in an outside open air venue in a huge event. Looking forward for PVD and thank god he's not playing at Bar Rio.

Cheers all.

I agree with you , When Tiesto came to Houston I think it was last year at the warehouse live He did the same acting too. It was like he didn't care to be on stage and enjoying. The thing that really disapointed me was that he disappeared from stage for about 10-12 min. I thought that was rude because we all went to see him and wasted $50 and he gives no appreciation to the crowd. That's the only DJ i've seen to act like that. MMM I don't know about seeing him again

yea, i agree with every other person. it was ridiculously hot and way too packed. although towards the end, the crowd thinned out a bit and it was half-decent. the trash was insane. i almost fell like 5 times on my way to get some water and saw at least 4 people fall (alcohol may have been a factor in that). i don't think it had to do with people being pigs. i think it had more to do with people not wanting to spend 15 minutes to find a trash can and 15 minutes to get back. oh, and what was with the crowd surfing?

in my opinion, the event as a whole was way better than Warehouse Live last year. i think Tiesto could have done a longer set and i could have done with a lot less of the DJ before Tiesto (no offense if it's someone on here). the thing that got me was how expensive the water was. $2-$3 (depended on who you got it from) and then $5 after they stopped serving alcohol (2am i think). that's crazy. overall, it was an awesome night. i must admit he did earn some brownie points for this:



on a side note: i wish Armin would visit Houston. i really want to see him live.

cant believe i missed this one...

>_>

any pix?

yea....last year at warehouse he just stopped in the middle of a song at the very end... =/

as for all the complaints about no room to dance...i completely agree with you all!
we need a bigger venue..

Originally posted by Nova21 yea heard from a lot of people that it was hot and one of them ended up in the hospital for HEAT EXHAUSTION & Extreme Dehydration Tiesto's event always get too packed. I remember seeing him at the Warehouse Live OMG it has about 95 deg. there and too packed I was too tired.

lol..yea
i was dripping sweat within the first half hour

i was pissed. that was a horrible ending. everybody was standing around wonder wtf happened.

i went to the show in houston and dallas... and man dallas was amazing compared to houston... wasnt hot at all inside the venue ... houston was so hoT! i bet tiesto couldnt wait to get out of that place ahha.. i dont blame him..

we need bigger venues

we need a terrace in dwtn Houston the closest we have to that is mosaic

Thats a Great idea but in this humidity, it'll be kinda hard to pull off, unless they work out some sort of solution.

Originally posted by evil2in87 we need bigger venues

bar rio & warehouse hold 1000 & 1500, respectively. those are more than big enough.

There's a place for everything, and I'm not naive enough to just say "screw ['anachronistic dinosaur']. book [my preferred artist] instead," 'cuz I know it's not as simple as that, but, at the same time, there's a reason I haven't gone to anything all summer, and it has nothing to do with temperature or comfort. I'd pay to go see Damian Lazarus or Superpitcher play an over-capacity steam room.

Yeah promoters don't like to take chances on anything cutting edge therefore they bring the same DJs over and over again.

I can't really blame them, because they need to make money, and that's the easiest way to do it. Then again, it's not like there isn't money to be made in the time between atb visits. Yeah, it might take some initial investment to get it going, but once it's established, whoever took it on would have a monopoly on that type of event, and would be able to take all the risks they wanted (not to mention the other benefits of being responsible for something like that).

HAHAHAHAHA no. I don't "got to support" a self-absorbed, arrogant, pop star wanker OR the soul-less scene that surrounds him by paying way too much money for a show I won't even enjoy. Your line of thinking is beyond flawed.

Originally posted by Zeonfiend That's a loaded statement in the EDM community; there are scads of cats from the late '80s and early '90s still going today that should have taken the graceful way off the map a long time ago. Just because they struck gold in 1992 doesn't automatically mean they can hang with the scene in 2006, and it's slavish adherence to the "support the scene no matter how shitty the DJ" manifesto that's enabled these anachronistic dinosaurs to continue to plague big-name clubs and huge events and drop absolute batshit on a crowd that a) not only paid to get in, but b) deserved better. EDM has a nasty habit of turning up its nose at the "Evolve or Die" method of dynamism and forting up around the toothless and infirm Cro-Magnons as if to preserve them from musical entropy.

that should come in handy...

also how did this thread get resurrected?


I think it's funny, reading back through some people's reviews, that they can spend 4 straight paragraphs doing nothing but complaining, maybe 1 or 2 semi-positive comments the whole review, but then close with "but I still had a blast and am glad I went." Good to see that blind Tiesto worship and the "trancecracker" mentality is still going strong in people who claim to care about the "scene."

in a less active scene, the options are go out or stay at home--not go to event a or go to event b. They're comparing it to what they would have otherwise done that night.

it's still no reason to waste money on a shit event. I'd rather just go to sleep and save the $60 on tickets/drinks/parking, or watch a movie, or play video games, or hundreds of other things. Saying "well nothing else is happening tonight" is still terrible logic.
