My friends and I drove by last night and it looked pretty cool. We couldn't see that well from the west side highway, but it looks as though they have 2 large screens on either side of the booth/stage area.

pretty pumped about today....

but can anyone give me directions from Penn Station? What Subways to take, etc? I'm coming in from LI and have no clue where this pier is

It's a perfect day for an outdoor event, see you all soon

A,C,E from Penn Station down to 14th. walk over.



random history factoid of the day:
Cunard & White Star Lines used this pier as a portal for their ships (their now-rusted logo is still there). The Carpathia docked here with Titanic's survivors in 1912.

Says doors open at 3pm, but PVD comes on at 5pm. Is someone opening up for PVD? Whats the deal for those 2 hours? .

stell - they just play background music and wait for him to start i believe. atleast thats how it worked wit armin in brooklyn

It's most likely going to be like the remainder of the outdoor PvD events. There's going to be random music playing over the speakers at a low volume until the event begins.

Can't wait for this! I'll be wearing a Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts btw, I have an after party ticket for Webster Hall that I'm selling for $30.

Ahh, ok. Makes sense.... and here I was rushing to make it at 3, lol. Thanks!

im on my way to the city now! ill be wearing my black rukes shirt, cargo pants and have the biggest camera there, so I will be easy to spot. I have no idea how easy it will be for me to go back and forth from the front where paul is, to the back so I might hang in the back if its a hassle.

leaving for the city in like 15 minutes. i'll be wearing a purple element shirt wit cargo shorts. feel free to say hi! see you guys there

How has anyone not posted a review of this show yet?

Well here's my 2 cents: thought it was your typical PvD outdoor set. Comparable to all of the sets he threw down at CP (except for the one when it rained - that was fukin sick). Really looking forward to seeing him (and Matt Darey) in a few hours at the after party!

Saw you walking around haha.

Anyway, I thought it was good. Didnt get tix to the afterparty, going to a local club instead.

Some people there have got to learn some respect though. Constantly pushing up against others and ramming you by so called dancing.

One thing REALLY surprised me though...he played in and out of love without the vocals????

I knew it sounded familiar when i turned on my ringtone and its one of my favorites so eh yea.

Anybody have information on the photographers that were there? What companies were they from? And the video camera? Where can we find those.

good set, though i was expecting something exceptional. the venue was cool and a refreshing change from CP, although the volume was inconsistent and far too weak beyond the immediate vicinity of the stage [it seemed to get louder at points before dropping back down].

paul was solid and started banging it out during the last 90 minutes (we could've used more of that); oddly, he even dug up 'beautiful things' and 'as the rush comes.' crowd was largely obnoxious, mangled, and annoying.

the pier has a lot of potential as a site for more dance events (hopefully minus the douchebags and with some sound adjustments).

what was the remix of 'helsinki scorchin' that he played early on? rory said it was the michael cassette mix but the sample i just listened to didn't quite match up.

Good time, wonderful set. It was funny seeing that jet-skier guy digging the tunes. Also entertaining was seeing people's reactions to seeing themselves on the video screens. There was one girl who the camera-person really liked, and showed her on the screen for a good 5 minutes LOL. I thought the effects on the videos were cool too.

I wonder how the show looked from buildings with a view of the pier, and to people passing by on the West Side Highway.

Finished the gallery, letting PvD's people give it a once-over before I post it tomorrow night!

Expect some extremely epic Rukes shots

sounded like original to me

nope I have to disagree. I'm not a big tracklist person, but Helsinski Scortchin is one of my fav tunes of all times...... and it def wasnt the original. I hate the remix's that have been done and remember being pissed and wishing the original was played instead of one of the crap remix's.
