hahah you were on FIRE saturday night. I have never seen you have somuch fun since I met you. hahahah! Loved it!!!

you are 100% correct my friend. Aspy, were we at the same party?? the people were SCREAMING those lyrics!! And you know what? I dont know the lyrics very well, and do you know why? Because I dont really have the time to upload or listen to all the ASOT's and live sets.


I could ID more than 30 tracks. I knew most of them but Just didnt like it. May be I wasnt in the mood or whatever..

When Armin dropped the going wrong I was on the line for a bottle of water... And I threw the bottle and began to say the song. But Ppl on the line they were just staring at me..

I have been attending parties almost 5 years in New york.
It is the same. Most guys came there just for hook up.

PS: I could be def. There was a guy and he was jsut SCREAMING armin you are the number one .. yeah.. But when armin dropped the last track .. He was so quite...

Taste is such a subjective thing. What you may consider lame, others may enjoy quite immensely. Where many who attended this event may have had a great time, you would have been miserable. You are what is considered an "irrelevant minority" and I'm sure that many others like me will not lose any sleep over your rather keen and objective opinion. Moreover, next time "#1 DJ elections" roll around, your opinion alone is what is going to decide who should be a #1 DJ. I'm sure that your opinion of Armin will resonate with a vast majority of Armin fans and we will all take your lead and go on worship someone else. Besides, how is Armin going to make a living if he's not a #1 DJ? That's right - he won't! It will be back to poor house for him. And who was there to start this avalanche of a movement? YOU!!!! And that's why your opinion matters.



This is a message board, am I not mistaken? A place for people to share their opinions whether you agree or disagree. Defend him all you like, I didn't say anything horrible about him besides that I wouldn't have personally enjoyed the track selection. The post was not meant to start a debate or an Armin flame war so please take your sarcasm elsewhere. I didn't dispute anyone else's opinion who posted here so why are you even bothering to dispute mine. Did my comment really hit you in the heart sooooo bad? There were other's who posted in the thread that were there, and said it SUCKED so why don't you take it up with them. They are the ones who TRULY care since they spent their money on it, so may be they would be more willing to give you the argument that you are looking for.

I remember everyone yelling these lyrics out where I was... even to Not The End/Who Will Find me (although since we were so up close it was hard to hear when the lyrics started at times, lol). Haha we even forced lyrics to Take Me Away... though that didn't last long.


I went inside the crowded and Yelling the lyrics who will find me... And one ****** came and thoguht I was on phill... and asked me If I got extra.

Why would people go 2 an avb event and not even know him or listen 2 his music?nvm my aunt just told me that alot of guys just go there 4 the girls. shes been going 2 events like these for years she's 27 so she knows what shes talking about. anyways I have been listening 2 armin n ferry 4 about 2 years now and there my fav djs. y because I like so many of there tracks. I don't care where there from or what there name is I just like the tracks they spin n there style! the funny part is that I didn't even know he has so many fans haha mccarren pool was packed!!


how can you use "there" incorrectly so many times?


Posted by Elyyse on Jul-07-2008 19:32:

Ive read a lot of this. Thanks for the tracklist guys! My moments were DEF

Shana- Mr. Pitt (duderstadt prog dub mix)
What the fuck
Eco- Tonight is forever!
and OF COURSE: In and Out of Love - Richard Durand Remix - I FREAKED OUT hardcore when this came on omg, and btw i know it may have been requested but this was the asot 359 future favorite, so i woulda been soooo surprised not to hear it. such a great great track.

I had the best time, it was such an awesome set. armin def had the 4 hours to branch out and play us a wider selection than at pachita and when I saw him in May in boston, so i was really happy to hear a wider range of tunes with some AMAZING bombs and super trancy shit towards the end, damn!! and the rain was nice i actually loved it.

travelled from Boston for this show, and i would do it again in 2 seconds, so so so fun. have some pics up!:

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?a...b9b&id=60800313

randy boyer [EnMass] was there!!! hes in some of my pics, check them out and add him on facebook!!

thats the public album but add me ifu want anyone wooohoooo goodtimes.

burak rob good to see u, i didnt see too manyother TAs bc i was more on the outskirts of the crowd, i like my rooom to danceeeee


Posted by The Vza on Jul-07-2008 19:43:

i feel dumber for reading the last few pages of this thread... a ton of people knew the lyrics to going wrong, armin spun ridiculous, guys hit on girls wherever they go (sometimes guys hit on guys...) but YES wai, if I wanted to hook up, i would go to a hip-hop event where the skanky hoes are. I don't waste my time at EDM events, cause that is Ravi time to listen to music and watch lasers and be with my friends etc.

if there's a quality recording of that set, id love to get my hands on it


Posted by Elyyse on Jul-07-2008 19:43:

Mikey McNulty has his pics up on his website, they are UNBELIEVABLE!!!! ohhh my god, you must check these out...

http://www.mikeymcnulty.com/events/avb_7508/index.htm

Im in one too Karen and I!


Posted by halilkalkan on Jul-07-2008 19:50:

Yeah, I agree. I was in Tabu,too, and you had to see the quality of the crowd and the music there, then you could compare Mccarren.
"Who will find me" was playing and so many idiots around me were looking at me like, "what the fuck is this dude singing?"
And of course, I was lookin� at them and saying, �u fuckin� morons�!

great job MadeEvent for fixing past problems
Long bathroom lines- no problems this time plenty of porto potties, very short wait, no overflowing
Sound Problem- sounded great if you were anywhere near the stage-it was the standard of any club, of course if you were in the back it wasnt the same quality, but why were you back there anyhow
Long entry lines- from what i saw it was easy going, quick line, quick security check, in you go
Lasers- this year they were top quality, along with the stage lighting and smoke it really enhanced the entire experience
Not enough Armin- no guest performances this year, over 4 hours of only armin, he cant go much longer than 10 based on city ordinances, made doesnt want to risk their liscences so they do the right thing by ending on time
Brooklyn brewery- ok still have not taken care of this, but lets say in their defence they are supporting the local buisness, no matter how you feelabout the taste,that is rather noble, considering they can do the standard Bud and which would do nothing for thelocal community
overall, it is quite apparent made lsitens to their fans, yes they still wantto makea profit, but why wouldnt they, this is still capitalism, and theys till have a right to make profits-and in America there is nothing wrong with wanting to generate money, the ticket price was fair, compared to Tiesto its a bargain
Also look at the amountof people theyemploy for their outdoor events, its definitly a boost for thelocal econmy, fromsecurity, to sound and stage, local food/beer vendors, its gives people a chanceto work, with some of the negative feedback Made receives here, and sometimes deservingly so,we ought to give complements when there do as well

Hmm... I lied about the Meck/Inpetto Dub track (i'll double check my vids, but i'm pretty sure this was not a part of armin's set). M6 - Fade to black though was \o/!



Armin has got BOMBS and I dunno why he holds em back. Everything was easily ID'able.

He def played so strong because that is my jammy jam especially after hearing Paul play it on the patio @ space! \o/

It was great to hear 4ever & Body of Teksha *live*

& a few other tunes.

Was horrible to hear Not exactly, Lost Connection *biggest rip off of one of the best trance tunes - ADVANCED* and that horrid remix of madagascar. I love Durand but it sounds like he just played ping pong over madagascar. Most annoying sound ever.


I'm really lazy lately but yeah. Highlight of my night was Alex & Gerard singing [AND HITTING THE NOTES] to In & Out of Love. I almost pee pee'd in my pants with laughter.

Love u boys + Burak & Matt. Wai is my bitch! Got to hang out with her 4th & 5th of July.. Kelly was in the deep end so I only saw her Friday

I was too nervous to go into the deep end where the rest of u TA's were and the sound was oh so good in the back center \o/. So I barely moved :] I only wish Armin could change up his formula. First few hours are boring and last hour rocked!


Posted by MeLLyMeL on Jul-07-2008 20:59:

G - update the first post with tracklist pls. I can't believe how big this review thread got and I don't feel like hunting for it. ;]
