oh yawn...

Thanks for the hugeass review Emz, I was really more interested in the operation of the whole event than the tracks or tiesto himself.

Tiesto and the docks go well together. I'm not gonna bother seeing him at guv again. He was so into it this time around and looked like he was having fun. Very impressed with the track selection and delivery, no obvious trainwrecks. All the classics brought back so many good memories. I guess that's what makes Tiesto #1 for many ppl. He blends the new and old together into one very enjoyable package.

The docks was packed and friggin hot in some places but that was to be expected. As many ppl have pointed out the coatcheck was just a disaster, very disappointed with that. I wish the DJ booth was setup on the stage for this event so it would be easier to get a better look at Tiesto. Those displays had some cool visuals but got a bit annoying after a while when all you wanna see is Tiesto doing his thing.

I had fun hanging out in our TA zone. Everyone was having a great time from what I saw especially our TA energizer bunny, Cuzo. I'm so glad I made the last minute decision to attend and thank you Swilly for setting me up with a ticket!! It was nice meeting DancingQueen169 and VERTiG0 for the first time and also hanging out with the familiars. An awesome night from start to finish, 9/10 from me.

Here are my pics: LINK

Wow...now I really can see what the hype was all about.
After much searching for a ticket only 2 days before the event, managed to find one for regular price, which was lucky to say the least.
So me and Dj Robben got to the docks at around 1230. No problem with the ids, just checked to make sure they were “legit” and we walked on in. I swear, the timing on the night couldn’t have been any better. Just as we get into the mainroom we hear “Here he is….TIESTO!!” and the crowd erupts. Perfect timing

Now this man, can he EVER read a crowd. For the 5 and something hours that I was there for, he kept me energized. Every time that I felt my energy leave me, tiesto would drop a BOMB that just kept me pumping all night long. I wish I could’ve stayed for the whole set, but by 5:30 it had already been a 23 hour day with work slotted in there as well. It was, however, an incredible feeling leaving a great night to the sounds of tiesto playing in the background. Awesome night. Thanks Rob for the drink! Nice to see some of the TA’s that I partied with at wemf. I saw Az comment on my buddy’s Netherlands jersey, lol, but missed RJ, Nat and the rest

Well worth all the money spent. Well worth it. Not bad for my first 19+ party


What was that sunset on ibiza-sounding track that he played? It had a very very similar melody.

Or that track that had a huge beat, and during the breakdown the tempo slowed way down [like he was stopping the turntable, and the strobe-lights were going very very retarded] then snapped back up..

Originally posted by Ortemy Overall a good night. Tiesto played exactly what I expected. His programming + stuff from his new alubm is definately not my thing, Armin , PVD and sometimes Ferry do it a lot better for me. He is oficially no longer among my fav. djs. Don't get me wrong, he did play a good set, and it seemed that many people liked it, but it's nowhere near those shows that Armin pulled off on last Thanksgiving, PVD exactly a year before Armin and Tiesto himself in the Docks in June 2003. Highlights of the night : coatcheck madness, Find (Andy Moor mix), crowd singing "Love Comes Again", lights, some hot chick hitting on my gf and asking us whether we want to have an orgy with her and her bf (she was really fucked i think), Yahel - Voyage. Highlights are listed in chronological order EDIT: Why can't we have parties like that with Armin, PVD, Fery etc. I am pretty sure if the prices are a bit lower as many people would show up.

totally, ferry's set would have done way more for me.
(but tiesto did deliver by all-means)

i was so waiting for love comes again, but when I had to step outside to make a phone call.. BAAM! Comes on... that was supposed to be my 'bt' moment of the night which has left me.

one of the funniest moments was that crazy girl who literally went out of her way to push Beh as he was dancing in his space without bothering anyone.. lol.. "sorry dude, i tried making the situation better by telling you she was going for your ass"

Originally posted by [NFC]Wave I find that weird. Apparently people saw him last weekend in a Hummer too. That's so weird because his ryder specifically stipulates a 24 hr limo service. *shrug* Must have updated it I guess, who knows.

he came to toronto to check out the docks for some reason the week before.

Originally posted by b4k-oz But what really burst my bubble was that the TA's got personal meet time with Tiesto............while I stood being crammed and stepped on at the coat.

Don't worry hun- we didn't have any personal time w/tijs. That was just techead taking us on a tour of the club. I think many of THOUGHT we were gonna get to see him, but that wasn't the case.

pics anyone?

Originally posted by richard raiban question: ok, so here is my question. why is it you guys think that tiesto's set was AMAZING? from what ive read it seems as though he played tracks that EVERYONE knew. was it the best becuase he played nothing but BIG ANTHEMS? wouldn't you guys love to see tiesto in a smaller venue (more intimate) playing fresh underground music (that you are unaware of)? i think something like this would really allow him to be A LOT more creative than he is when he spins BIG EVENTS. those are my thoughts... GOODNIGHT p.s. im glad that all of you enjoyed yourselves to the fullest! at the end of the day thats all that matters...

TOTALLY AGREE. When i heard traffic come on, AGAIN, i really did wish i had my eggs and tomatoes. That fucking track is getting old. REALLY OLD AND OUTPLAYED.

ANYONE who disagrees, STFU, please, its done, done to death.

When i go see DJ's i expect to hear stuff that i DONT already have. Isnt that what a DJ does? plays new music? When i lived in kitchener and bought records (when i could afford the, not no more as a student) i asked for choons when i started out as a noob. The store owner was like "dude, that track is old...." so i ask "how old is old???"

3 months minimum. Yah. 3 months.

I knew that when id go in i would be hearing a ton of tiestos own music, and while im sure the dance scene (at least within the tijs genre) is becoming more like pop culture, as opposed to CLUBBING CULTURE.

Best track he played, hands down, AND ANY REAL TRANCE ADDICT WILL AGREE, waaaaaaaaaas.....

*drum roll*

Max Graham - Airtight




Yeah, that was the shit (too bad i left early, i wish i coulda heard it)

HOWEVER, Sean Miller blew me away when he layed down Sasha - Xpander!!!!!! HOLY FUCK!!!! And then Sander Kleinenberg - Soul Shelter

If tijs can get away with constant rehashing of classics, why cant I? All i got are massive old choons. If i ever went to a club and gave my mix, it'd get tossed out the window faster than paris hilton on a fat cock.

Now, im not saying tiesto is/was bad. He did, in fact, deliver. As expected, his own choons turned me off, but, the rest, fucken A. Cept for that one breaks track....what the fuck was he thinking? LOL!!

Great night, great DJ. My rating would be All his choons played, minus his own, out of the total. However, i was hopeing he would play Obsession, very nice track.

And for the recent bitching about :

Tijs = Cheese?

Well, commercial wise, YES. In the club? No. Not really at least, i heard a couple of really crappy tracks, but he came out on top with some heavy dark stuff, reminded me of his old magik days...and in response to that,

FUCK! KEEP IT UP!!!!! YES! BRING IT BACK OLDSCHOOL STYLE!

Cuz thats the REAL TIESTO everyone should know!!!!!!

Tracks i wish he played:

Obsession
Jan Johnston - Flesh (Tiesto Remix)
Major League - Wonder?

Oh man.....Major League - Wonder? would have delivered so bad if he played that, all the noobs woulda been like


Anyways, id go again, for sure, if i didnt have work at 10:30am, i would stayed past 5am

ps.


Highlight of my night:

One of my Zara customers comes up to me, with a new shirt i sold him the same day, offering me Special K.

LOL!!! oh man, i was like

I just love how people bitch every time Tiesto comes to TO but yet their the first ones to get their tickets. Anyone who listens to Tiesto's live sets or mix cd knows what their going to hear when they see him so why be so suprised when you hear tunes that you know. I think it's simple, if you don't like him don't show up!

peace

Some pics for you guys.

whitey:

i think its also funny how you assume stuff about someone you dont know past an avatar image.

and whats also funny, is that you seem to think that DJs should get praised for playing tracks that haven outplayed by AT LEAST a year.

Give it a rest guy, some tracks should not have been played AT ALL. You know it, i know it, even Tijs knows it.

His stuff from like, ISOS3 and back was OMFG. Today its just a mix of old and done to death with new GOOD stuff.

Im not bitching that hes bad, but id expect MORE when i payed 50 bucks. (although i knew he was gonna play his own stuff, but thats not the reason why i went, my friends would have cut my fucken balls off if i didnt go, cuz i introduced ALL of them to trance)

[NFC]Wave:

if i were to get a CD signed by Tijs, it'd be Magik One. Not his commercial stuff.

What blew my mind completely was this song I heard from the Tiesto Gelredome Arnhem 10-30-2004. Someone PLEAZE help me find the name of this song. The lyrics go like this: "How did I let you go…(voice echo and fades out) when I Lost you …in the darkness of a lonely night…and I found you in my arms and holding me so tight….when I’m with you and I kiss you, I can feel your heart……don’t you know that I’m the one to keep you safe and warm……. Chorus: Never ... let you go" that song that u r so craving for.... is.... drum rolls.... Interstate - Found You heh...enjoy!

YOU ARE MY HERO! and I am forever in your debt. I was going insane all over the net for this song. Thank you!

Well tried looking for the TA gathering in the sideroom but no luck... In any case Tiesto was Amazing!!!

i am beat, my brain isnt functioning well


just want to say thank you to dj_shan for letting me come



and partegurl for keeping me alive throughout the party,your the best


and all the TA's who know who i am , and keeping the party alive for me and showing a blast!


THANK YOU TOTA'S!!

I stand corrected (I was misinformed). Thanks...........it just made the coat check thing little bit more bearable in my mind.....b/c I should of expected it for a Tiesto event.

I had a better time at Tiesto than I did at the Guv for PVD.
Looking forward to some Armand and Ferry to follow up

Cheers yall and good night. I'm finally going for that sleep I've missed. ZzZzZzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Booya...track of the night..

Oh yah, and anyone calling me a tiesto hater: STFU in advance.

I dont hate the guy, never did, hes the second DJ that i fell in love with (Sasha came first, hence why i was mind blown when Sean Miller played Xpander....imo, the greatest trance production, OF ALL TIME.)

Dont gimme "real tijs fans will always love him"

BULLSHIT.

Real fans give constructive criticism for their idols to improve.

I still love the guy, ive got some live sets theyre amazing, top notch, but im NOT liking his current productions.

As a DJ, yeh mon, he kicks ass still in my top 6 favs (Oakenfold will always be my #1 , the rest i just dont know, theyre equally good i suppose?)

i had a great time...tiesto kicked ass and made up for his guv set...

nice seeing all the t.a.'s out and nice to meet the girls from windsor....

payed a bartender $10 to stash our coats behind the bar......best $10 i spent all night

hit boa after for some housey goodness....

good night!

BTW...did anyone check out Armins set from NYC last night????Look at the tracklist....anthem after anthem
