Time for my official review.........
Let me first start off and say that I got spoiled this past weekend at club space in miami. Nothing will top it for awhile in my mind, but that might be because I love unknown hard techy tracks. I also couldnt pay much attention since I had to tend to my laser show all night.
Jerry Bohnam opened up really hard at first and then softened it for about an hour. He then built it up very nicely. I was surprised because I walked in thinking "it wont be as good as edgar v" but it was close.
PvD got on using the ping pong effect on ableton (i think) to open up his set up. Some good hard stuff. He played alot of known tracks from TPOD2 including superfly! The crowd didnt really seem to like it, but i did. Its a good housey type track with the right amount of trance. His set in my opinion had too many ups and downs, its just my opinion because I love to hear 3 hours of solid 145bpm madness like at space. Everyone at 1150 loved it though and thats great because it means paul is a good artist and can read the crowd and tell what they like. Paul really loved the feedback he got from the sold out crowd. People chanting PVD and the constant screams and yells. Good job atlanta, pvd normally wants to get off ASAP but he kept playing one encore after another. Its a shame ATL has the 3am closing law or he would have kept going.
Glad yall liked the laser show because it wouldnt have been worth it to me if yall didnt. I put alot of effort into it including not dancing for my favorite dj. But.... I did get my picture with Paul. I will post it when I get it from stillvapor. I have been waiting for that for a very long time and last night the chance came!
Towards the end of the night, some jackass ripped the TPOD2 poster out of the stairwell and I got it back and he ran out the front door. I had to attend to one of my lasers and someone stole it again. Shame on you..... things like that can be bought or even asked for.
I do want to know the name of a track jerry dropped click below for sample.

OK, so now that I am sober I would like to put in my 2 cent. It was a nice show. It didn't meet my expectations, though, but still I had a hell of a time. I would like to complain about something. What the fuck is up with people walking around on the fucking dance floor. I could not move. Usually I pick a spot and just dance in that fucking spot, but on Wednesday I could not even do that. I felt like a pinball. And what the fuck are 18 year olds doing drinking and then trying to dance. That is not dancing, that is just jumping and pushing people out of the way. If you are trying to fucking dance then develop an ear for the beat so you can move to it. I wish I had a cell phone to record some of the dancing going on so I can show it to ya'll. Another thing, if you are going to go on the dance floor, then fucking dance. Don't be standing around staring at women and expect them to respond, you fucking creeps. I guess I am just not used to such a young crowd anymore. And the last thing I want to say is: People, know your place. Geriatrics don't belong in a club. So, those were my two cents.

| Originally posted by phonk64 Well, i'll be the first person to say that I actually thought his set was boring and uninspired. He would build and build and then instead of keeping the energy high, he'd slow the tempo down. WTF I left at 1:30, it wasn't worth being super tired at work (where i'm posting from). If it got better later in his set, thats cool, but his first half was pitiful, imo. |
Awesome show!
Hey everyone, first time poster...
Dreambeamz, your lasers were SO SWEEET! Thanks for bringing them they really added to the show!
What a great set!! I am somewhat disappointed with PoD2 and was not really looking forward to the night but damn!! I completely agree with whoever mentioned Paul's stage appearance. It was great seeing him move his hands with the music and smile, it showed that he was having a good time!! I absolutely loved it how during the set he would build it up and break it down for the sake of antipation...really got the crowd going! I went ape shit when he put on Another Way towards the end omg. As for my general experience that night I made friends with this guy Keith and ended up sipping on Dom Perignon in VIP all night, went back to my house and chilled for a few with the crew, drove to Vault-volt for the first time only to find that there is a $10 cover (doh, didn't have any cash on me), went to another friends house and chilled there while he spun, then finally went back to a friends place. Went to bed around 10am on Thursday 
PvD (even though he won't be reading this), THANK YOU FOR MAKING UP FOR THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE I HAD WHEN I WENT TO SPACE DURING WMC THIS YEAR TO SEE YOU. I think Wednesday night rivals the best show I have ever been to...
Also, saving the best for last...Samira, if you read this, it was sooo awesome dancing with you at the show Hope to chill again soon~
hiyas!!! omg wow! i'm still amazed about how much fun i had wednesday night. i was one of the folks just not really into POD 2 and i have tried numerous times to listen to it. it was worth being sleepy on thursday for sure! as for what has been said in this thread let me say this "to each their own" i had a great time and enjoyed the music. the set was kinda boring at first but paul picked it up and fucking banged out the 1150. of course at a pvd show their is always folks from the pre-ta days of mine and other folks so i feel victim to socializing all over the club too. i am going to start working on my pictures tonight and some uploaded tomorrow. i did get the the booth (Thank You sooooooo much again Damien) and got some pretty good shots from there. i had a great night can't wait to see pvd again!!

Chris here,
know most of the TA's even though they don't know me. I'm Dan's friend and most of you know the story of Dan and I getting kicked out of 1150 2 years ago.
But anyways, was there Wed night...and I have to agree with Dan, I thought the music was good. Some fuckin awesome tunes, but it was like, "damn this song fuckin rocks," and then the energy was high, and then all of the sudden, the floor would drop out on me, and both Dan and I would be like, ah..uh...where did it go? It was like 3 good bangin songs and then a chill song.. and then some more bangin-ness, and then 3 songs that all seemed to sound the same.
Don't get me wrong...there were times when I wanted to sign over the custody of my future babies to Paul, but several times during the night I wanted to go up there and say, "damnit Paul, just fucking bang the shit out of these things!" Overall, glad i went, but the set was more of a "driving mix" for me. Great techno, great transitions, but i would much have rather paid $15 for it and listen to it in my car and blare it versus paying $60 (1 for the girlfriend) plus drinks to hear it at 1150 (not my fav venue). A+ set just not a club-worthy set imo.

You guys are missing alot of tracks he could have possibly played. I know PVD has been rocking out to some sort of Martin Roth tune and I didn't see anyone mention any! Awesome review. It was my 2nd best set that I had ever heard from the guy. (The first was when I saw him Ultra 3 16!!) Heads up to the person that said they wanted to see PVD again at ultra unless he does his cancel routine. If there is one show he never fails its gotta be Ultra. He's been closing down the Main Stage the last 7 going on 8 years |
this thread is sitll going?
Here's my take on it, through photos...
