Well, luckily I didn't have to sit in the crowd, but from what I could tell, it was a good crowd. I mean, very energetic and it looks like everyone knew what Armin was playing....didn't have a 75% fake crowd who is there just so they can say they've seen Armin...think they are cool.
Anyhow, got there around 10pm and the place was still pretty dead. Was pretty suprised. Taj was opening and while I wasn't really looking forward to hearing him spin, I must say that I'm glad I did! He rocked! Last couple of times I've heard Taj spin he didn't really play anything energetic, but he did it proper last night. Kudos to Taj.
The floodgates for people showing up seemed to open right at 11. By 11:20, the whole place was jamming.
Armin got to Ruby Skye shortly before midnight and made his way to the stage after getting a breather in the private room upstairs. We chatted for a few minutes and you could tell he had just woken up, lol. He said he was pretty jet lagged and didn't really have a chance to catch up on much sleep as he got into SF around 6pm. He said he was ready to have some fun, though.
Armin hit the decks around 12:10 and just ripped the place apart for the next 4+ hours. I want to say he was only supposed to do a 3 hour set, because at like 3:20 he stopped, then started playing an encore (Burned with Desire)....after encore, after encore. He played an hour of encores, lol. It was awesome.
I don't really go out of my way to be a trainspotter, so I'll leave that to you guys. Just know he nodded to me at the end and I put up the 2-4 sign with my fingers and the next track he played was 24...although it was probably just coincedence.
