Review: Armin Van Buuren & Blake Jarrell @ Dragonfly Wednesday May 21st
one of the Best nights ever?
(+1 for megashira)
i gotta say that was fucking sick!
the vibe inside that club was at a boiling point all friggen night. One of the most vocal crowds i've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. Armin did NOT disappoint. Simply superb from start to finish he had everyone jumpin!
Tunes of the night
Going Wrong (How good is this live!!!!!)
Burned with Desire (WTF!! wicked 
)
Unforgivable
Love you more!!!
his set was phenomenal but special mention must go out to the last hour or so which was just bonkers.
did they actually close at 3 or did he play longer? when i saw him there 2 years ago as the first headliner they ever brought in i dont think i got outta the club till almost 4 or 430am if i remember correctly...
it was done at 3.30
good to hear Armin delivered 
DFLY= my first Armin party missed in 4 years 
HAHA well, before even getting to the club, it was an interesting night!! (nice meeting you TRANCEEE) So we are on our way from toronto to niagara. Hit Stoney Creek and...wha? what happens? Car runs outta gas!!!! on the highway!!! so we putter off to the side...coast half way up a off ramp and the car is done. 3 of us get out of the car and start walking for gas....several minutes later we get to the top of the off ramp..shit this is going to be a far walk! look down the road...no gas station in site...so what do we do?? HITCH HIKE! hahah theres something i can check off my list of things to do. The moment our thumbs go up a car pulls over. Single guy driving picks up 3 guys walking on side of street, sketchbag? Nahh a great citizen! The guy was from there and took us to the nearest gas station...about a 15 min DRIVE away! holy fuck! through side streets and all..no way in hell we would have found one. Get there and grab a cannister then drives us back to a previous highway entrance and cruises down till we reach our car and are able to fill it up. Small world, told him we were going to see AVB and he knew the club, who AVB was, said how he used to be at Guv and zone every weekend! What great people in this scene I say! Oh, and when we got to the car...damn back seat door was jammed and wouldnt open...accidently i shut it on the seatbelt and after several body chucks, pulling on the handle with all our strength, and giving up and continuing on to niagara, turns out all it needed was a little Vince Love Tap and voila, door opens?! Fcuked up but it all worked out and we got to the club at 11:50!! (sadly no time to gamble...)
great night overall. the vibe was unmatched. Crazy energy all night long, not many pushers and shovers but a few over the top drunks.
Ugh but i was not feeling the first 1h45min. BOO. proggy trance? i dunno...he dropped maybe 2 or 3 songs that were alright, but overall i kept asking when is he going to get out of the intro and play some tunes! However, around 2:45am it was all up hill from there!!! Amazing second half, several encors. Love you more was great to hear again, its been a while. Burned with Desire was a great one Body of Conflict! that got me going
excellent audiance interaction, tonnes of jesus poses, and pretty happy to take pictures and sign autographs all night long. too bad some bouncers were ball busters. Every time I go to dragonfire, the dj finishes and the bouncers push 5 or so girls (the "I give BJs to see DJs" type), to the front of the door, let them take pictures with him, and then tries telling others to leave (obviously a few others got photos..but not many) oh and there were some pretty critical id checks, but at least everyone i knew got in Great party overall! got home at 530...left for work at 7....no sketch! (tired as a bitch though)
Very, very fun night. The crowd was going bonkers, really just eating up whatever Armin threw at them. And he threw quite a bit. It was a fairly 'typical' Armin set, but not that that is a bad thing. He definitely kept it slower, bulding up nicely until about 1:30, and then he just shifted into another gear, and stayed that way until the end. It was a very good night.
First time at Dragonfly. Very nice club. Ran into jchung, saw other TAs, but was in the back with my gf and friends for the majority of the night. More space, and ventilation was great. Would love to go back to the place when there's a house headliner.
just got home, definitely a sick night! blake jarrell played a solid opening set and there was tons of energy during armin's set. it was also my first time at dragonfly but i was impressed
ORGASM!
Sexy time much?
Million times better than Ultra!!!
Do you guys know what his first song was? Sounded like some type of Inpetto remix. It was really dark sounding.
what a great night! dragonfly is second to none (well except maybe guv main room). armin was great(serious bonus points for playing Legacy), the crowd was great (kris ur the best), and the venue was great with plenty of room to dance. let the dragonfly summer scene begin!

that place is something else everyone's there to have a good time...
Blake Jarrell
This is my 4 time seing Blake last nite he killed it
the first 30mins of his set was kind of slow maybe
b/c the club was not to pack but 45mins later

was luving his mixing the tunes he was playing..
When he played Shadow of the day
the crowd whent 
he played a few
other tune's that i like but can't re call atm Lol..
i give Blake set 8 out of 10
One thing that PISSED me off was when the crowd started
to yell out Armin's name when Blake was djing 
have some respect for Blake as much as i love
Armin i waited for him to come on not like
the rest of you guys 
Armin Van Buuren
I had a good feeling that he would play much better then
his set at Ultra it was 10 times better OMG 
right off the bat the
number 1 dj delivered when he started off with
The Ones That Get Away the place whent
Arnej i have nice video for you my friend..
Later he play La Guitarra such a huge fucking tunee
but not as HUGE as The Legacy not sure if i heard it
live in a club be4 but wow what an awesome tunee. Then it slow
down when he played Going Wrong i'm like to myself it's going
to go down hill from here but i was sooooo wrong he took
it to the next level with tracks like 6am (K&A Remix)
then Fine Without you the org mix and a few other's but the
track of the nite for me was when Armin played
Dj Eco - Tonight Is Forever (Martin Roth Edit) OMFG

enjoy everyone
Dj Eco - Tonight Is Forever (Martin Roth Edit)what a fucking track that is wow, especially at a hard fast pace as ARMIN was delivering, along with Activa-Remember Me, Arnej, alphazone, and for playing Erid De Koning-dreamflight(mike nichol remix) one of my current favs from the past month, pretty much just good music all night as usual.
