ATB was fucking on fire tonight. One of the best shows I've been to, period.

He was most certainly on fire. Not sure why a lot of people bash him because he is one of the best and last night proved it. He played a good mix of stuff. Good to see ya there at the end last night James. Sorry I missed everyone else.

I know he also played:
Prodigy?- Firestarter (kind of a random song, but it was cool to hear.)
ATB-Long Way Home
I know he played one of his songs as the last song before the encore, but can't remember which one.
ATB- What About Us (which was the encore)
I really enjoyed that Hide and Seek remix thrown in there.

PVD's got a tough act to follow. Hell, as far as I'm concerned, any DJ who ever performs in Atlanta is in trouble, as ATB's set a new and absurdly high standard for DJ performance. Many of the tunes he played were familiar, but mixed or mashed up in a unique way that breathed new life into them. And his physical performance and connection with the crowd put most other trance DJs to shame: rarely were we subjected to the typical head-bob and clapping we might get from Tiesto or PVD, but instead ATB kept moving to the music and interacting with the audience from the start to finish (though he did slow down briefly about 3/4 of the way through?). In terms of serving an animated performance, he might even beat Above & Beyond's Paavo, which is pretty damn good. Dude played the hell out of that air-piano and air-snare. I sadly failed to find and enjoy Sam's friend and her girls as directed, but it was an incredible night regardless.

... Okay, uh, time to head to work. Thankfully I'm still alert (and shaking) thanks to all the Red Bull consumed last night and this morning.

I agree! He is the best as far as getting into it and interacting with the fans. He liked to hear his name chanted. I've never seen so much fading in and out of songs, but it was fun. He sure liked his flashlight too. I think he beats Paavo. I mean, the dude was going crazy. I mean, the guy was sweating like crazy from all the jumping around and stuff. Awesome that he came out on stage during the set. Got a nice handshake from him. Very cool guy. I can now say for sure that ATB is a much better DJ than PVD. Not even upset I'll be missing him next week.

By the way, Mike's opening set was really good. He should open all the time.

Him or Ian James anyways!

He did play some good tracks. I enjoyed Whippingberg- chakalaka. I love that track. I had a blast. I wish that I could have stayed the last 45 minutes but I had to go. At least I was there.

Oh ya, I definitely heard

Pryda - Pjanoo

Definitely a killer track

Now that you said something I remember that track too. All in all a great night. This year has gone off with a bang. Not one show I have been disappointed with. Thanks Liquified for all the great shows.

Yeah! It was some sort of mashup, too, as I remember thinking, "Hey, Pjanoo doesn't have lyrics!"

And I'll agree with clearblu -- thanks, Liquified, for the awesome year so far. Devin's gotta enjoy the work, as I think I spotted him rocking out on the stage at the end. Zack, I think I saw you as well, on the left along the stage? Unfortunately I couldn't head over to greet you, as I was stuck on the (very crowded) right side of the stage.

That place was packed, and I'm glad I had a little more space toward the end. Then again, my shirt was so drenched with sweat that most people gave me a fair amount of dancing space throughout the show.

I have to be honest, I didn't love ATB. This is the first time I ever seen him play and I thought he was okay. I thought his mixing was good, and his interaction with the crowd was great, but his tracklist didn't do much for me. I am hoping PVD brings it Wed. night.

However, it was a good time and I'm glad everyone who attended really seemed to enjoy his set...

See you Wednesday...

Yeah, that was me. I wasn't feeling great, so I pretty much chilled right by the stage the whole night. I didn't see you, but glad you had a good time. It seemed really crowded. Hopefully ATB comes back soon!

I'm glad everyone seemed to enjoy it for the most part. This year really has been amazing! I've only made it out to 4 or so of the shows, but they were all top notch.
