For some reason I've always liked the 99 Gatecrasher set the most, but that's probably just because I haven't listened to the others enough. I'm fond of the China set too.

i second that...it's always been my fav too...

Or maybe its just that the gatecrasher set has (arguably)the best tracklist ever assembled?.

His essential mix from 94, the so called 'goa mix', one of the best DJ Mixes ever made.

think you've been sucking dick for crack boy, look at the tracklists for his 99 mixes, oakenfold very rarely played the same tune twice, let alone "basically the same set", something which is practically unheard of nowadays......
creamfields is his best mix, anyone who says otherwise doesn't know anything about anything

Paul Oakenfold - Essential Mix Live in China!!!
also

Ibiza 99

All of Oakys 99 world tour are sweet.. although alot of them are quite similar but hey.. the man was in a different country every month! you cant expect him to have the freshest record box!
Stand outs for me however had to be

Home, Ibiza 25.07.99 (a classic oaky set.. showcasing his sound)
Home, Sydney, 1.10.99 (harder set in oakenfold terms)
and Home, London, (Exerllent tracklist)

also the rojam, shanghi is a good set.. enjoy.

i beg to differ dude..
Tracks such as Jan Johnson - Am i on pause, Skip raiders - Another day, The Source - Fly away, Moogwai - Viola, Planet perfecto - Bullet in a gun, The Taste experience - Highlander for eg, appear on numerous essential mixes from 99.. and i know there are many more.. I realise alot of these tracks are his own or on his label so he had good reason to plug them, and I agree that "basically the same set" is incorrect as each set definitly has its own flavour, but saying he rarely played the same tune twice isnt true...

Gatecrasher all the way
i was introducded to this set more than two years ago and i still love rocking out to it. it doesnt get any better for me than this set. i would like to strangle the person with the air horn though. the other sets are good too but i just love the energy of this one
