I think Tiesto will be put down as best ever. Crazy productions, crazy labels and crazy concerts that had not been done before he did. He is the innovator more so today than any other.

And lots of crazy trainwrecks at every gig!!! Just what you want from the best ever!!

You can only get the title for best ever when you die
ie: elvis and kurt cobain

i WAS there!!

he finished with man with no name - vavoom!!

carl cox was equally as good that night in the phuture 2000 arena

Thats the Gatecrasher set, imo THE best 86 mins of driving euphoric trance in 1 single hit i have ever heard.

AND PETE TONG in the middle of it:

"I said nice one bruvva"

"I SAID NICE ONEEEEEEEEE"

hahah id give away a lot to be there that nite.

Like Matt_A said Oakie @ china was playing breaks, but was still able to capture this underlying beat, drivy beat throughout the whole set, that towards the end just explodes with skip raiders.

I have respect for Oakenfold, he moved on, he got the best he thought he could get out of the sound so he moved on. Sure he hasnt found the same success, but only time will tell, but i have a feeling a true artist like oakenfold will only be kept down for so long.

Like you guys are saying, 99 will be the year of Oakey, 2002-2003 the years of Tiesto, this year - who knows, Armin maybe, and in five years time we will be saying was Armin the best ever?

But yes, Oakey = Legend
Tiesto = simply amazing
