Two thumbs down, not one to rant but I must

Tiestos set had no flow/energy whatsoever

Liquified failed greatly with the will call situation and I just think it was lame how the show went from Tiesto + guests to Tiesto from 1-4

I enjoyed Ian James and thought he set up the energy for Tijs

Venue wasn't terrible besides bathrooms and will call although I think I prefer the club atmosphere

All in all I didn't come expecting Tijs to blow the roof off but I wasn't expecting this much of a let down (ended up leaving at 3)

:Rant Off:

Originally posted by Ted Promo Oh, I left at 3am or so because I had had my fill. He only played until 4am? Haha! Epic fail. Talk about false advertising. Unless Tiesto decided he only wanted to play for three hours, which I wouldn't put that past him.

he stopped 1 hour early in Nashville. I'm willing to bet it was all him.

Hope the tart didn't get his full pay.

sounds almost as bad when i saw him at tic in ft lauderdale and he dropped just be (hate that fuckin track) and all these fucking 18 year old muscle heads with those blue and green glowing sunglasses without their shirts on sang along with the song "juuuuuuuuuuust beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeieeeeieeeieeeeee" in the highest pitched voices. gayest shit ive ever seen. i laughed so hard.

I had a blast Ian's set was nuts I was especially happy when he dropped armed. I thought for the most part it was a good set on tiesto's part and the visuals were insane.

It was really funny I went to the bathroom and then I hear someone say " someone get a bouncer someone shit all over the floor"

Anyone recall any of the tracks Ian played?

You guys would've hated the old Liquid Groove parties back in the day.

Originally posted by Ted Promo I wonder what would happen if AIDS had nearly as good a marketing crew as Tijs.

Ted's review is classic. That was pretty damn funny. Sounded like it was the biggest flop of 2007. Hmmmmmmm whucha gonna do?

Sorry to hear you guys had a bad night out. I jsut came back from his DC show today and I would have to say this was BY FAR his BEST performance. He played so fuckin hard...especially towards the end where he played nothing but tech trance. Ridiculous. My feet were hurting so bad that I couldn't make it in for Ferry.

Originally posted by Ted Promo Haha, I know what you mean. The crowd for Tiesto shows can be REALLY fucking dire (though to expect anything more is, at best, retardedly futile). Last night there was this group of about 4 Asian men who looked exactly the same wearing thin, low-cut v-neck hoodies intended for women and wearing Phantom of the Opera masks on the back of their heads (occasionally putting a cigarette in the mask's mouth). Coupled with their tight pants, inability to dance yet intention to make it noted that they attempt more often than they comfortably should, and you have one flagrant Asian gino gaggle that provided massive amounts of entertainment. As for will call, I knew it'd suck. Which is why I ordered my ticket and had it delivered. You had to have known it was going to suck for will call at a massive show like that. Liquified can't provide the man-power to operate a will call line like that, nor could the Trade Center.

lmao i didn't know that a group of Gino's was known as a gaggle.

Great info!

A gaggle of Gino's. Classic!

Trust me, everyone is over-exaggerating with their complaints. The show was great. Yes, there was a long line. That is to be expected for 5000 people. I guessed the line was going to be one hour; it turned out to be about 30 minutes. Yes, there were lots of glow sticks there. There were lots of drugs there. I'm just wondering exactly what events you guys go to that you never see that. Yes there were gays there (disclaimer: I'm gay), but what you may not realize is that there were the exact same percentage of gay guys that are everywhere; it's just that last night there were, just more than usual, straight guys acting gay. And when people say "god now I'm def" what they mean is is that the sound system was fucking awesome.

Tiesto was good, it was epic trance and not too much of the cheesy "pop" trance stuff. There was plenty of room to both get up close with the energy and also to hang back and be able to dance comfortably. The sound was awesome. I know that everyone has their favorite show ever, and last night was probably not it, but don't please don't become so jaded that you can't enjoy what last night was. It was what it was: Fun, with a 30 minute wait to get in.

yeah, it's funny to read how some say it was horrible, tiesto sucked, etc. and other say how it was the best night of their lives... the difference of opinion.

i had a great time, and that's all that matters to ME. i would hope everyone else had a great time too, but that sucks if you didn't. it was everything i was expecting, minus the playing time.

ps. who cares how many gays were there... i can't believe that in 2007 people still talk about that stuff.

We need more people like you on this forum

Well, it didn't absolutely suck, but you can't deny the event didn't quite fit the hype that preceded it. Some people paid a lot of money to see a set that wasn't any longer than it would have been if he'd gone on at Midnight at Fever or something, that really isn't cool. As I said, I had a great time with my friends, but I was still disappointed when I realized that a HUUUGE DEAL was made out of something that, well... honestly wasn't all that different from any other show, it was just louder with a lot more people and a handful more drugs.

I still had a lot of fun, though. I just probably won't ever spend that much on a "special event" again, cause 3 hour main event in a nasty environment isn't all that special IMHO.

PS: I think Liquified stated that there were 3 times as many bathrooms as before, but I only saw three bathrooms... soooo if three times equals three, what was there before?


Regardless, I hope everyone managed to enjoy themselves in some way or another. It was an experience, and it got us out of the house on Friday night.

My opinion

Heres what I think: Some people had a good time but overall there was a lot to be desired from this show/venue.

Tiesto did lack flow (it was also a very heavy/aggressive set and since Im all about pretty it was a bit hard on my senses) I felt like he played about half really good shit half whatever/not so good...but it was all spaced out so Id get in it then loose it hard (but I think if the heavier shit is your thing this might be all you).

The line was definitely longer than an hour. I was an hour for me and once I was in the line was further back then when I started in it)

Bathrooms---YUCK! No where to sit but yes a lot of room to dance (get your groove on yall!) There were lights on in the back of the venue which I thought killed a lot of the light elements (hard to get a good light show), clubs seem to be best for this. The visuals could really be viewed either way, really I think they would have just worked better with a different set).

Liquified step up or don't - Tiesto - sorry you had to deal with all that --I will be back to see your next show -- bring it!

Also a secent dj passed his cd out at the show if you want to chesk out something very prog trancey - nice flow - heres the info

I think you put it perfectly what the main problem with the night was. I had very high expectations, so even though I thought it was a great set and was a lot of fun, I still felt a little disappointment. It wasn't the 4+ hours. I even heard people in the line who were expecting live vocals and stuff too. The venue wasn't the best, there were annoying people and a lot of drugs too, but for me the worst part was it not living up to the hype.

As far as the set goes, I thought it was really good. Was it the best I've heard? No, it wasn't. He had a pretty good track selection. There were a few I was really looking forward to hearing that he didn't play that night. Besides that my only complaint is that it did seem to be a lot more aggressive set. I like more melodic breakdowns and stuff thrown in. I still think Tiesto did an excellent job though.

if anyone is interested you can find part of his washington d.c. set on alldj.org

fav tune...Tegan & Sara - Back in Your Head (ID Remix)

Are you on Crack??? Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm not a big trance fan and have always been very critical of Tiesto but on this night he killed it. He was mixing the entire time. the venue owned and there was a ton of space to dance and hang out with friends. Drugs???? There's always a lot of drugs at parties so what were you expecting, a Christian rave from Tastyworld? Not trying to whine but come on people, that party was the best show in Atlanta in the last six years and was right on the level of Ritm/S&D on April fools day 2000. A++++ night in my book and I'm so glad my little brother finally got a chance to come and see why I started doing all this in the first place over 8 years ago. Damn I hope Liquified gets there asses back there for a show sooner rather than later.
