Chris Walsh did a great job as well... picked up the energy after me.
Paul went on @ 2 am and used 2 laptops... 1 with Serato Scratch Live and the other with Abelton Live!!! I was totally drooling over his setup!
did not record my set... they are having issues with the recorder there.

PS-
Senacas set was awesome, totally enjoyed it
Chris Walsh- Freaking rocked
anyone know the second song pvd played...kinda housy... siad something like PARTY CHECKERS
quick review...
This was one of the few shows where the warm up DJs (that i would hardly call warm ups anymore) felt like headliners. Seneca, you're set couldn't have been more fitting for Chris Walsh, and Chris' set couldn't have been more fitting for PVDs. I would like to see more of you both around. The only gripe i have would be waiting for PVD to come on at 2, it seemed it was taking forever, i was holding in a piss and couldn't leave the dance floor :-)
I wasn't disappointed with PVD at all. Taking into consideration that he just came off a 6hr set in NY, he still brang a superb vibe and an extraordinary presence. Dance floor got really packed at one point with a bunch of "Miami's" so ended up on the second floor going at it hard non stop. I would have liked to get more chills from the tracks he was playing but there is no room to complain about what was an excellent night and it finished off superbly with a 1 on 1 photograph with Paul which he came out of the DJ booth especially to do. :-) Who was that woman that kept on saying "one more and thats it" to him????
Hope everyone had a wicked time, it definitely showed.
Eddie
First off, Seneca (& Walsh)- NICE! Good work man. Like the demo as well!
PVD laid it down nasty...started at 2am, played til close. Started banging it immediately with the techno (straight up techno for like 45 min). I remember sending my roomate a text saying "it may as well be coxy right now"
Played a good mix of styles throughout (trance, acidy house, prog, techno, etc). Slowed it down a bit (to like 137) for a little while and played some pitched-up prog (jet lag slave, santiago nino - believe, deepgroove - acid house music (d ramirez mix), the other side, etc).
Right after the other side at like 4am (deep dish remix) he laid down 40 minutes of the nastiest trance I have ever heard. No unicorns here at all. Finished it up with For an Angel and Time of Our Lives. Encore - Mindcircus Original mix (which is a classic & def not terrible). Perfect mixing throughout (as always)...he was doing the standard PVD 'slam in the new kick drum' mix technique all night which added to the energy. I kind of forgot about the cold air guns at vision...they let it go once for what seemed like 2-3 minutes.
Crowd was extremely into it...probably the most packed/crazy I have seen at Vision. We braved the main floor for like 30 minutes but I literally had to keep 1-2 hands in the air at all times b/c it was so damn crowded. Couldnt even drink, smoke, etc. Crowd did not thin out one bit - was equally packed at 5am. Even Lucas was dancing around in the booth at the end 
Overall a solid, solid night once you accepted the ridiculous crowding. Havent listened to/been to a trance show in a loooong while but PVD is still the man.
PS- thank God party season is coming to a close in Chicago

review
I had a wild time, despite it being like a sauna in there. Missed your set Seneca, but I heard very good things. Chris Walsh was unreal; could anyone id any tracks? He threw down some deep, hard and dirty stuff the half hour before paul came on. The sound system at Vision did it justice.
Favorites of mine were Jose Amnesia vs. Serp - Second Day , Agnello & Ingrosso - Yeah, Jose Zamora & Damian P - Transatlantic, and Shiloh - Dream On, and of course Santiago - Believe. There were a couple of gorgeous unknowns.. more id's welcome!
also, i met a guy on the stage during the encore who said he was TA ( i think you said your name was nate?) i was looking for someone to get excited about Mindcircus with and you knew what was up.
I was sitting above Paul the eniter nite. Saw him do nothing but Adjust knobs.
If he was using Serato scrach why was he not using the Deck to "cue" a song up?
All he did was tap his laptop once in a while. I firmly believe he was playing eveything...pre-done. He had all his songs all rdy cued up in Abelton and just hit play,play,play.
Not that thats bad. I just miss the old says where it was all wax. When he spinned cd/vinyl.
It's fine I mean I use FS. However I just was a little disappointed. his set was great though
I already emailed C Walsh.
Seneca I came in a little late didnt get to catch you. I know your skill though I have no doubt in my mid u threw down!

OK, my turn for review....
First off, Seneca's set was awesome. Great track selection. Thanks for the CD too
Chris Walsh also threw down a huge set. He played two of my favorite current tracks, which went off in the club (and these may be some of the ones Eu4ea wanted IDed
)
BCML - Mr Horowitz (Way Out West Remix)
Mat Leutwyler & Jason Suzuki - The Contended Gastronome (Kosmas Epsilon Mix)
PvD definitely delivered. The place was slammed but the energy was awesome. I spent half my time drinking on the sidelines and then braving the dance floor. Definite highlight for me was when he played Summer Dream--place went nuts too. I think this may hav ebeen the only time that I have ever been to Vision where the place was still absolutely packed when closing came. Also, it was cool to hear Mindcircus as the encore, always dig that track, esp. the G&D remix (which it wasn't).
Also, I think I only ran into Seneca and Christen on the TA front--great to see you guys. Didn't really spend much time up by the booth, was just too slammed.
Overall, awesome night--only downer was the hangover on Sunday lol.

thanks everyone for your kind words!
I swear it takes me forever to get around to writing a review...
I was debating on whether or not to go to this the whole week and after reading how his NY show was and considering I hadn't been out with a friend that was going for a long time, I decided to go. I'm glad I did too! It was worth the place being crowded and what I paid for the ticket.
We tried to get there earlier but by the time we got in it was around 11:15 or so and but we were able to catch part of Seneca's set which we really got into. It was the 1st time my friends had heard him and they enjoyed it. Thanks for the CD by the way, I've been listening to it this week a lot.
Chris Walsh did a great job too at warming up the crowd before PVD came on. He had a great set! The place was getting packed at that point and the energy in the place was nuts!
PVD came on later than expected but it was definitely worth the wait! I thought he was great. He'll always be one of my favorites even though lately I've been been into more house, even a little techno since Hawtin. Out of the 3 times I've seen him, which have all been great nights, I would say that this was the most fun. He kept us dancing pretty much the whole time which normally doesn't happen. I loved that he ended the night with Mindcircus, I'll always love that track!
Didn't see too many people but I also didn't really walk around too much either. It was nice to see Seneca, James and Mike. 
Great Set Dude! Loved yours and Chris's afterwords.
The only thing that saved me from bitching about not getting my promised 4 hours of PVD was the great music beforehand
Great Job!
