Sensation Quebec (w/ Tiesto) Review
In a word : WOW ! (and Tiesto : TIESTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
)
Already back in Montreal (the event is still going on lol..) but for us it was more for Tiesto that we went, more on that below...
I've been doing raves/EDM clubbing for 10 years now, and I can say that this one will be amongst the best one i've been.
All that went wrong at Bal en Blanc went flawlessly at Sensation Quebec...
The entry was IMMEDIATE. We were there at 21h30, there was a big line, but when the doors opened, the people got vaccumed inside, don't know how they did it but damn that was fast ! I was on the dance floor at 22h ! Good job !
The venue was good for that event; big enough and no bathrooms problems, I spotted a bathroom at a far extremity and was able to get in / get out in 5 min
SOUND : Nice ! We were in the front and it was great, no distorsion and clear sound... a bit low on the back but like I said mainly staid in front.
LIGHTS : WOWWWWWW ! Now that's something ! Pretty nice sets of lights, strobes, etc. + the giant screen behind the DJ (more for Tiesto, see below...)
DJ's :
DJ KID : well, was ok to listen to, good warmup, but won't go to history. I found the guy to try a bit too hard on the crowd interaction thing, like cool down man you're DJ Kid
Marco G : I liked the guy attitude; nice interaction at the right level. There was a small problem of water coming from the ceiling on the CD decks, and they moved all the DJ booth stuff (decks, speakers) couple feets away and the guy was really cool with it. On the music side, was ok, great mixing, but I found it to be a little slow for a "warmup set".
TIESTO : Showed up a 1h45 and stayed until 5h45, yep 4 hours ! I went because I rembered the Tiesto from 2000/2001 era and wanted a glimpse of that back... waaaaaaaa I got a lot more. The giant screen on the back (a bit like on the elements of life DVD) was used a lot. First part of the set was a "In search of sunrise" set, mainly tracks from ISOS 6 ans ISOS 7. Beautiful blend and very nice to listen too... I liked "Hide and seek" alot live + a lot more (can't remember them all...) Then, after 2 hours of ISOS or so he went to the "The sound of Tiesto" part of the set, and BANG classics after classics.. I COULD NOT believe it (in no particular order) : Lethal Industry, Elements of life, Dance 4 Life, Urban train, SILENCE (ahhhhhhh), traffic, in the dark, adagio for strings, Just be... I was jumping around like a kid And then, for the last hour, Tiesto mixed more upbeat tracks and killed it to the last minute.
We then left for the road back and time to go to bed... This one goes on the records. Good job to the organization + Tiesto & Tiesto's crew (lights guys are crazy).
Oh MY MOTHER FUCKING GODDDDDDD!!!!!!!
I'M JUST SPEECHLESS, Tiesto just killed me.
This show is the sickest event I ever went to!
We come there, no line up got in in 2 seconds, place was huge, insane lights, amaaazing mammoth screen behing the DJ, the crowd was crazyy and the place was jam packed. The sound was surprisingly good aswell.
First half of the set was more recent stuff, but oh man, after 1h30 or 2 he started dropping the classics, and oh man, one followed by another and another one, i thought I was going to die:
adagio for strings
traffic
flight 643
lethal industry
suburban train
elements of life
silence
just be
lovestoned
in the dark
hes a pirate
dance4life
+
Ride
wasted
lonely
etc.
Only songs missing were love comes again and in my memory. Even though this event was very overpriced, it was worth every penny, oh and btw funny thing is taht there were ppl selling tickets at the door for 20 trying to get rid of them lol.
Shitty thing about tiesto is taht he was too cool to sign autographs and take pics after and before his set. Dozens of ppl wated in front of his loge, and he would only let girls in.... isnt he married?!
So ya had to wait for a fkn hour after his set to finally, by miracle, get his autograph, some girl saw me wait there like a moron and took my poster and told me shell have it signed. now i have a bigass 2 x 4 feet poster signed!
So even though he was acting like a dick at the end, he made up for it by playing a 4h set instead of 3, and i LOVED it.
ANyways im going to sleep, so passed out just came home,
Hope you guys enjoyed this as much as me

I was going into this event because I did not have to pay and my friends decided to drag me there
My expectations were VERY low.
I have never seen Tiesto in my life, so I am like "Okay for the checkmark I am going to do this".
I arrived at 1:30 just in time for Tiesto's set. Until around 4 am he the room had some energy in it. People were chanting "Tiesto..Tiesto..Tiesto.." here and there but nothing too crazy. I had like 4 hours of sleep in 40 hours I was so TIRED at this party, so I went to sit down in the VIP.
I was literaly starting to fall asleep around 4am, and then it happened. I heard the sound... the sound of Lethal industry coming on.
We all know that the 2000-2004 years of Tiesto were his bliss and he could create the vibe that was very unique. Honestly I have a friend who went to see this guy @ Sensation White in Amsterdam in 2006 and as Tiesto was going to play Lethal Industry there people were literaly CHANTING the beats of the song with their mouth, before the main part of the song.
I think time was repeating itself. It is like he gave a shot of adrenaline to EVERY person in the room.. All 10000 people that were there... Everybody knew what was coming to them. As I was standing in the vip with my friend who has never seen Tiesto as well, we both stood up and were looking at the crowd and mildly tapping our feet waiting for what was about to happen. As it was coming closer and closer to the peak of the song the energy was slowly rising, but most people still had their hands down and only the in front of the dj you could see a lot of hands in the air dancing. Some people were saying "Lethal Industry, lethal industry, oh my god"
And then Tiesto played the melody and i was like WOOOOOW! All 10000 people raised their HANDS in the air and THEY JUST STARTED SCREAMING... Everybody, the bass line wasn't even there yet, just the melody... I instantly woke up and my friend got his camera out and started taping(video's will be up soon). Damn it is really that 2000-2004 sound of Tiesto that people dig, that ability to get a BIG room go nuts. As Tiesto released the bass it was OVER! People just started jumping out of their minds like it was the last day on earth.... The floor in the VIP stand was shaking, the energy was undescribable. After this Traffic went down and pretty much all his classics from his "popular years". The energy was there for about 1 hour as he played all his classics and for a few other tunes I can't recall at the moment (Jochen Miller - Connection) was nice to hear. Every single classics was like an explosion of the room.
I remember when he played the "Pirates of the Caribbean" was probably the peak of the energy.
Saying all this I am not really much into trance lately, but this was a very very delightful experience and I can't believe I am saying this but I enjoyed the last 2 hours of his set.
Cheers to everybody who I saw there.
