I'm not that big of an AvB fan but one of my favourite sets ever is Armin van Buuren - (2003-03-18) Live at Club Eau.

I was going to recommend that set as well... but I'm almost 100% sure that the correct date is 2000-03-18 (march, 18, 2000)

Also...
Armin Van Buuren - Live At Sensation 2003 (White Edition 06-07-2003)

the one with Motorcycle - As the Rush comes (AvB rmx) that starts the set off

This year's essential mix, great set

Anything prior to 2002 will do the trick. Anything after that is just signs of his playlists getting shitter and shitter.

i'd recommend:

Armin Van Buuren - Live At Club O (The Hague) (30-09-00)
Armin Van Buuren - Live At Godskitchen 2001

Thanks guys, I was definitely going to put his E-mix on there..as well as that Club Eau Set that was posted here by Swamper WAAAAY back in the day Good suggestions for godskitchen 2001 and Sensation 2003, will check those out!

His sets are like a barometer for the state of epic trance...

needless to say the mercury is falling.

There are really too many outstanding AvB sets out there to narrow it down to just the 4 best, IMO.

I had to re-burn that one a few months back. On my original copy the CD began deteriorating, no real scratches or anything like that but it was getting those little bubbles in the reflective surface.

ASOT 73

Posted by Magnetonium on Oct-23-2003 00:46:

A dozen to choose from, but the finalists are ...

The top 3 finalists that I have selected for this question are:
AvB - Live @ ID-T Radio (06-15-2001)
AVB - Live @ Club Eau (03-18-2000)
AvB - Trance Session

These gotta be the best quality, and best tracks filled livesets I've heard from him. Wanna prove me wrong? Send the ones you think are better to me by FTP. LOL, j/k, my PC has troubles now. Though I never heard any of his ASOT's ... and I wish I could, but I can't
