Tiesto @World NYC - Real Review
Here's my take on the nite... we got there around 2am, got inside, since I was with my girlfriend, we didn't have to wait long in that long ass line, more like a mob scence, with the NYPD keeping everything in order(or trying to). Once we get in, we have to wait for our friends(all guys) to get in, since they were only letting groups of girls and couple in first. That's kind of different, since almost everyone that got in already had a ticket. Anyways.... the place was packed with people, and the vibe was definitely buzzing in there. People were dancing all over the place, and it was definitely a cleaner crowd then Twilo, or most of the other afterhours crackhouses in NYC. Well... we sat thru about an hour of the 1st DJ, don't know who he was... but when he dropped "Rapture" the place was definitely feeling it. Rui Da Silvia performed two songs, the 1st was "Touch Me" which is classic, the 2nd was a new track that was average at best. Finally 3:30 rolls around, and some idiot announces Tiesto, and he drops Magik Journey, which was the 1st track on his CD he releases in Japan over late summer. It was a perfect start to a quality set, which wasn't all unknown tracks, but most people know what they get when Tiesto spins. I wouldn't compare him to Oakenfold, because he plays alot different style of music, but it does have a problem of not letting certain records rest. A few tunes I didn't really want to hear were Flesh, Hidden Flight & Silence, although during Silence... when he lowered the track, and the crowd sung 2 verses, it was quite impressive. I think Tiesto treats his sets more like performance in the U.S., but by the crowd reaction, he did everything right, minus the few skips of the records, which did bum me out, and the group I was with. One of the things I noticed about that night, was the fact that everyone was there for the music, which is the same reason I go out. There were all kinds of people, and since it was 21+, there weren't alot of candy ravers there, like Twilo used to attract. Also, the face that he interracted with the crowd so much, definitely made alot of fans happy. He threw about 5 or 6 signed records into the crowd, and he signed my girlfriend's picture, which I took of her in Tiesto from the past spring. I think he was surprised to see her hand him the picture for an autograph. Anyways... anyone that was there knows what I'm saying, the atmosphere at a Tiesto gig is like none other. Sure, he played alot of familiar tunes, but that made for an enjoyable evening. It was definitely one of my more memorable nights out... and I got chills when I saw people in the crowd holding a big U.S. flag right next to a Netherlands flag. For one night.... everyone forgot about Sept. 11... and Tiesto made it possible.
