My review of the event was "you get exactly what you pay for"
Crowd was fucking atrocious... too many clowns for this one pushing around... I've never seen this place so packed before though! I got some great videos of each track from the start almost to the end but I really couldn't take it... because of the poor architecture of Tentation, the bouncers made people go through the crowd if they wanted to get to the back and they didn't let them through the side where all the private tables are at to the left (when you first enter) so it was a pushing/shoving fest and the place was well over the limit for the fire marshall to shut the place down.
I tried not to move cause I was next to one of the bouncers at the front of the stage. Normally, the dude is cool and hes laughing and grooving but he lost his cool because he said himself that it was the biggest crowd hes ever seen at the place and he had to constantly throw people out or put people in check. I tried not to block his view by taking the videos but he got pissed at me and I had to stop taking videos of A&B from a nice perspective so I kept the camera down and the idiots kept hitting the camera almost knocking it out of my hand. The bouncer let me go to the side of the stage to take videos for a little bit cause I think he felt bad for coming down so hard so it was cool for the little bit of video that I got from A&B's perspective.
I really couldn't take it because it was a pretty boring event... generic 135 BPM tracks that were well over 7 months past the expiration date like Oceanlab, Home, "the-best-of-Anjuna" from the last few months, vocal stuff, etc. What really blew my mind was that 7 Days and One Week came on and nobody knew what song it was... the break came and there was no screaming, going crazy, or anything. I guess that track was way before the time of the gimps that these guys brought into the scene and they came after the genre took a huge nosedive. I couldn't take it anymore when Alone Tonight came on so I headed for the door and got out. Needless to say, I'd probably never see them again after the experience. Sound wasn't that bad though because I got my full hearing back about an hour after the performance!
