I guess I'll start the review if you were there let me know what ya thought of it.

Personally I thought it sucked!!!

There were a few shining points throughout the day:

Carl Cox played a fantastic set
John Kelly played the best set of the day IMO.
Sasha, what can ya say, this guy is always on fire.
Fatboy Slim played a really good set.
Eric Morillo (although I don't really like U.S House, this guy really rocked that tent.


Now the bad:

Scott Bond (The absolute worst set I ever heard in my life, he was so bad at one point he actually stopped and started over) I know a lot of people on this site are Scott Bond fans but if you weren't there don't defend him.

In the Serious tent one half of the speaker system went out! Which was a real disappointment cause I was really looking forward to seeing Anne Savage and Guy Ornadel.

Tiesto played a good set but it was really progressive and at a really slow tempo. I don't know how he ended cause I left to go see Carl Cox. But it was a fairly boring set.

Christopher Lawerence what a piece of shit! Next to Scott Bond one of the worst sets of the day. If this is suppose to be the top American trance Dj then he did all of us a great injustice today. His first three mixing were absolute train wrecks. Not to mention he ruined the mood Armin built up.

Progressive Music, now I like progressive it definetly has it's place in clubland, but a 3:00/4:00 in the morning I wan't something with so kick to it. And Timo Mass did not deliver.

Pissheads, tons and tons of pissheads, harrassing cyberkids, and one actually puched my friend in the face as he was walking out of one of the tents.

All in all I'd say I probally would not go to another Creamfields. To many drunk idiots and way to many big name Dj playing crap sets.

interesting, well all i can say is that i am gutted i missed the john kelly mix, and i thought it sounded good on the radio

How was Armin?

Armin was good, but they only had him scheduled for a 1 hour set and we was the second Dj of the day so I missed half of his set, but it was good, in the 30 mins I saw him he played all the normal anthems .

Shame, those pissheads get everywhere. It was the same at Homelands. It didn't help that Strongbow were giving away free beer. Then by midnight they're all drunk and ratty just as the party's kicking off. You wonder why they bother because they're obviously not into any kind of dance music.

From what I was listening to on the radio, Seb Fontaine played an absolutly blinding set, futureshock passable. Carl Cox was banging from the start, but I started to drift away about half an hour into it when the coffee's wore off.

I think that's the problem with festivals, and probally why I won't go back to another one. They attract the wrong crowd. I don't want to sound like a sepratist, but I prefer to be in a good club with people who came for the music and atmoshpere. I don't want to be around a bunch of drunk idiots!!! And on a normal weekend they would never venture into some of the clubs I go to. But for some reason because if a festival, everyone shows up.

Well I heard Carl Cox last night on the radio1 website, and Seb Fontaine & Yousef earlier in the day... Cox did a fantastic job, as did Seb Fontaine (I'd like to find that Seb Fontaine mix in mp3 if anyone has it) on the other hand, Yousef sucked ass big time...

OK, This is my First post,
Does anybody want the live sets from creamfields last night
I have them in RealAudio, Near as damit to FM quality.

Armin, and Tiesto were ok in my eyes, but i mostly stayed in the Serious Tent, while John Kelly was playing awesome beats. Corvin Dalek was so good I nearly broke down. Oakie was to prog for me so i fooked him off. Not a bad Fest. :P

Don't take Lawrence as the best America has to offer. IMO, he's utter crap, and for some reason everyone keeps on booking him. Check out Max Graham and maybe D:Fuse for much better trance. Still, the Dutch are miles ahead of the Brits and Americans, when it comes to trance. Just my opinion...
