well heard pvd tore it up in NYC friday night. Its a shame you almost have to goto a Roseland ballroom show to catch him when he is on point. Too bad this year it was so close to WMC

The show at Tabernacle last year was bad ass.

Yeah, I understand that and I think that's a problem all in itself. I don't understand why people have to get totally wasted at these things. I believe that people who are looking to get wasted on alcohol or drugs should go elsewhere. Don't come to an event where people are paying good money to see a big dj and ruin their good time. I'll never forget the guy high off something at the Ferry show who had me scared because I didn't know what he was going to do. I'm all for having a couple of drinks, but get the drunks and druggies out. And if any of you are in that category, it's nothing personal, I just don't think there is a need for all that.

But back to the show itself. I went over and looked at the reviews for the New York show the next day. It sounds like they had a great show there. I won't say I regret spending 40 bucks for an hour and half set, because I think it was worth it. I just wish I could say it was epic. I still think Paul van Dyk has it, we just caught him on a night where he wasn't at his best. When he comes back, I will still have high expectations.

Hey, as the occasional clubdrunk, I offer my apologies. Not all of us are scary and violent when vodka-enhanced. It's the angry drunks who give us a bad name.

I can see your point, though. I recall a few occasions when the opening DJ bored me, so I'd wind up drinking more than expected, then blacking out during the main event. ("Well, at least I vaguely remember having a good time ...")

Yeah, I'll reiterate general consensus here: it was good, but not spectacular. And to the haters complaining about the general club experience -- the expensive water, the crowd, the chaos -- I agree with euroq. It's to be expected at any major event at this kind of venue, so why can't we just chill and get swept away by the chaos and enthusiasm?

(Yeah, it was especially packed for this event, though. Glad the Opera staff didn't seal off the two other areas, like they sometimes do.)

Dude we are all paying the same amount of money to support not only the dj but the scene. If you want to have a couple of drinks while doing so I dont think that there is any shame in that. Don't knock the booze to soon.

This is what I don't understand though. If you plan on getting wasted, why would you pay 40 bucks when you probably won't even remember the time. Then you're stumbling around bumping people who are there to just enjoy the show and acting stupid. It's not that I have a problem with the drinking itself, I just think people should think about how their drinking/ drugging may effect other people especially when it's a crowded, big event like this. You understand where I'm coming from?

I get it. It's all about having a good time and some people do it differently then others.

It's also about the music though isn't it? And it's very hard to really enjoy the music when you are wasted. I don't understand it, but some people do think getting drunk and high are the only ways to have fun at these things. If we make it more about the music, I think these things would always be a blast. Just my personal opinion, but I respect yours too.

Oh, and I was glad to hear Anthem last year when he played the Tabernacle. Since then though, I have really realized how bad of a song it is. I was shaking my head the other night when he played it and saw all the people singing along.

False.

but I agree with your point.

I don't mean to rebutle, but no it is not hard at all to enjoy it. You have to realize the for the majority of people that is how they got into EDM. It is not the only way to have fun it is going out with friends enjoying the night and letting everything go, it is a way to escape reality for 4-5 hours. You would have to dabbled in the stuff to really understand it.
