go to other parts of the world and you would be paying that price just to see one headliner.

ie: armin or PVD in NYC....... $60 for tiestor.

$40 is very typical for one night here, and this for people at a lower "standing" than the above mentioned.

What of the peeps that paid to see Junkie but didn't get what they paid for?

I'm not complaining, just pointing it out

so with that logic, labour of love should be $200?

in the overall scheme of things, the night was good. not great, but good.

heading to the guv, randomly walked into eviltree which was a suprise. after chilling for a bit, we headed to the guv only to be suprised that the KH entrance was closed even though all the barricades were set up. luckily, we found a group of TAs in the normal line. it was great meeting some of the new TAs as well.

getting in, the guv seemed really empty. i really was expecting a lot more people. same thing happened when we walked into the KH and were welcomed with lots and lots of room to dance. mind you, this is around 1:30-1:45, when it's usually packed all the way to the back.

this was my third time seeing ferry and i do enjoy his sets, but more than half of the tracklist is too predictable. don't get me wrong, i love the classics but they just don't hold as much meaning when they are played in every one of his sets. to me, a classic track should be brought out once every so often to tease the crowd. otherwise, it becomes a regular track that's just old and doesn't have that special place that it should. to end on a happy note, i did like that remix of madagascar. it's been updated to 2008 but still keeps its classic sound.

btw, did ferry play a breakfast track at about the 1 hour mark into his set by an chance?

1) Thanksgiving and
2) tickets cost too much for an event with only 3 big acts(price should have been reduced once Junkie XL cancelled)
3) circa

holy f'in bananas

I would agree that usually Ferry's sets are predictable however, last night his set was VERY VERY different from a typical Ferry set and I think a lot ppl would agree...almost a 360 degree change in his style

That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying that the event was advertised for a while with 4 DJs on the list, and only 3 ended up showing up.

I bet if ticket prices were lower, they would have attracted a larger crowd, given all the things they had to deal with (Circa, Thanksgiving) ... just a thought.

agreed! even with lots of recent tunes, the style seemed more of ferry of 2004, before LEF and electrotrance trash. not a lot of vocals (well, bad vocal trance) nicely distributed throughout the set.

also agreed about classic ferry tunes too. though it's good for noobs who never saw ferry live. (poor veronica who didn't know what punk and synaesthesia was)

Sander absolutely destroyed the main room..bomb after bomb. can anybody id the tracks he played. I remember hearing Pressure (Cedric gervais mix) and This is the End (Dirty South mix).
Prydz probably had more fun than anybody yesterday. It was quite hilarious. He played some great tunes. The track he played at around 2 was insane
Can anyone please id that track..it was deep and melodic and there was just one word in it. His last hour was fantastic.
There was so much space to dance yesterday. perfect for Sander.
Conclusion. GREAT night

well i think they might have dropped the price at the door because i heard it was supposed to be $55 originally but i cannot confirm this.

and tickets were available on wantickets.com for $25 until yesterday.

Hooly shit Ferry killed it last night and I normaly dont say this about any of those dutch Djs anymore.
This was my first time seeing him since 2004. I wasnt expecting anything at all.I was waiting for to hear his typical electro garbage bullshit but as Nada already mentioned his style totally changed.I think he is going back to his roots and playing what he used to love aka TRANCE MUSIC.

p.s. looks like we are finally over with electro.

when I got there prydz was just starting... at first he was brutal, playing melodic tracks that were too slow. but half an hour later the room went off when he played rymd... and it was great from there. he played a lot of his own tracks and prog with electro & old school basslines.. he even threw sweet dreams and blue monday in his set had much more cohesion than the one he played this time last year

when sander came on he played a chemical bros track.. def killed the 4/4 vibe that was going on, people just got confused haha. but he picked it up again with more synthy bassline style prog (sasha style i guess).. ron hardy said (eric prydz remix) and everything you touch (sasha remix) gave me eargasms, and a bunch of similar songs that i wish i had IDs for.. he switched it up a bit too with some techno and tribally grooves once in awhile, never really got boring at all

and prydz antics were indeed hilarious... at one point he was chugging a 26er of grey goose in one arm and was dry humping sander while he was mixing.. i was waiting for him to fall off the outer edge of the dj booth he was stumbling over

i only fit in about an hour of ferry, but people are right about it not being the style at all of his last 2 years. it seemed to be genuine trance, he ditched the poppy stuff of LEF/passport to USA which seemed like it was his unique sound when i was into him in 06-07.

i went into the night with little expectations and they were exceeded, for once everything just fell into place.. crowd was alright but perfect amount of people. $50 at the door did seem a little steep but good thing there were tons of $25 tickets on wantickets even 3 days away from the event :P

oh Sasha!!!...haha I remember them both spinning at a club in Amsterdam two summers ago and Sander was simply brutal... I guess he has learned lol even last year in MTL when he closed the party after Sasha and Digweed his set felt out of place and we left...

shitty I missed his set last night ..oh well next time!

it was not required

after ferry's epic set, I left the guv because I didn't want to risk sander mucking it up and ruin the night for me

although i'm still mildly annoyed that KH closed before the main room. isn't it the other way around?

Posted by greeko on Oct-13-2008 21:42:

WOW is all i can say FERRY WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING OF TRANCE...I enjoyed his set from the beginning where he played

Richard Durand � Papillon what an amazing track that is... then as he picked up very fast as typical ferry set is...hearing blueprint...couple of simon patterson tracks...ways and means hearing his new tracks made of love and radio crash. The big classic for me was pocket damage reminds me of ferry back in 01 with his dance valley 2001 compilation and global transmission 2 FAKKEN AWESOME NIGHT...
