really?! wow glad u guys had a blast. i had full hopes on AVB, i guess this should keep the doubters quite for a while. too bad i couldt make it cause i was at sound bar on friday to see yahel.he really got the crowd going on their feet and as a result my legs where aching soo much that i couldint walk.

so what tracks did he play? any change in style? anyone has the tracklist?

all i have to say is "Blank & Jones - Perfect Silence [E-Craig 212 Vocal Mix]" -> THAT WAS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get to go to the meetup before hand, but i know i'm sure i saw some of the TAs around. i was the guy in the blue shirt that said, "Department of Redundancy Department" in case anyone saw me.

i had a blast. that was just an awesome time. unfortunately i left at 4am [friends wanted to go...] but other than that it was great. I'd almost say better than last year [Jimmie Page i thought was good too , better than Mazi]. but yeah, just a great fuckin' time.

yeah, wait.. i just woke up... got home @ 745..... shit... have work in 3 hours... status of feet= danced away.

Shit, is all i have to say.... got there around 12.... HUGE line! we get our car valet, walk to the front door and get right in! no $$$ we had to pay...oh..GREEAT SET! i sure hope someone has some pieces of the tracklist.... a few i remember right now:

m.i.k.e. - massive motion
blank & jones - perfect silence
that new Rank1 tune.... around 4 o clock.... shit..so many tracks i can't think of....

afterwards, talked to him @ the booth for a little in dutch.. he asked me how long i've stayed in CHI town and with that said he told me I am losing my Dutch

DEFINITELY great, altho it seemed you had to get presales...a few of my friends couldn't make it upstairs....:-\

No!

F'in killed it is an understatement....what a set!!!! So in with the crowd unlike some, total energy while dropping his tracks, which of course sent me thru the roof. A few more tunes I remember, which i desperately wanted him to play:

Motorcycle- Around You.
Gabriel and Dresden- Arcadia.
Knew alot of songs, gotta go thru my texts today and sort some out. I'll post as I get more.

But yes, PERFECT SILENCE was THE TUNE last night. Sounded amazing, and everyone was feeling it. Definitely gotta get a hold of the last three before his last song, unbelievable!!! Good thing to is that it was packed, but not packed enough on the floor where you were totally rubbed up against everyone around you. I would have expected it to be much more packed in. Tiesto who???? Great set ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN.......

Another huge tune last night he dropped.....

Rachael Starr - Till There Was You (Gabriel & Dresden 12 Step Program)

OMFG OMFG OMFG!!!!!!

/me holds head in shame and eating her words

after saying that you would have to pay me to go see mr. van buuren, i ended up at vision around 2 am - went to a techno party at tini martini - was bored so decided to head over to vision. got there around 1:30 or so and there was a very short line outside, but they weren't letting anyone inside - it was at total capacity and my friend said that even presales were not being allowed in (i guess presale only guarantees admission until midnight - but they extended that deadline until 1 and still some presales didn't get in from what i heard). i was about to leave, but luckily, i was finally able to sneak in around 2 or so - and man, was it packed - all three floors were packed until the end. i remember the good old days when armin would come and vision would be full, but i was always able to get "my spot" by the dj booth without having to push and shove.

armin's fans were lovin' it - i have to hand it to him - he definitely knows how to get the crowd going - i loved seeing the entire club go off on some tracks - i haven't really listened to ASOT so i can't id many of the tracks, but i do remember mike - massive motion and marcos - tribal affair and of course, shivers and his sensation white anthemn 2005 were spun - anyone know the track after tribal affair - pretty cool track - i wonder if it was an armin production from his new artist album?

went down on the dance floor for a bit and i have to admit that the music sounded really good on the floor. but, i also realized that i was sitting a lot during the set - maybe danced 3 or 4 tracks - just not my style anymore. but from a musical standpoint, it was a good set IMHO.

the best part of the night was at the end when i finally caught up with some of the ta's - lucid, g&d girl, everything, etc. nice seeing you guys/gals again haven't seen you peeps in AGES - just seeing ya'll made it worth the hassle of getting in and fighting the crowds.

ended up eating some crappy mcdonald's breakfast and headed over to an afters where everyone said that they tried to get into vision, but couldn't. so - word to the wise - next time armin comes into town - BUY PRESALES AND GET THERE EARLY!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah - found out from lucid that he spun max graham - gone and i missed it that was one song that i would have loved to have heard in a club - maybe next week when i see markus in detroit or when max comes to town.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing time. He played Avea Mea - In the End to start off then the 3rd song was Max Graham - I know You're Gone. There were so many amazing build ups/break downs. I think my favorite was Sophie Sugar - Call of Tomorrow (John O'Callaghan remix)--the place went wild. So fun! Thanks everyone, and THANK YOU ARMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Til next time

ps - all of the peeps at afters supposedly knew me, but i had no idea who they were - so it was just another regular night for me

pps - armin is still cute - must be what keeps me coming back

ppps - this was armin's last show at vision - don't worry i'm sure he'll be back to chicago, but gk will no longer be at vision after july 2

He definitely fucked Vision last night.

Here's the songs that I remember:

Ava Mea - In the End
Gone (Max Graham Remix)
Clear and Present - Elevate
Andy Moor - Halcyon (fucking love this tune)
Niklas Harding - Ice Beach
Enmass - CQ
G&D - Arcadia
B&J - Perfect Silence (E-Craigs 212)
PVD - Crush
Purple Haze - Adrenaline
Marco V - More than a Life Away
Sophie Sugar - Call of Tomorrow (johnny O'Cally Remix)
Marcos - Tribal Affair
and what was mentioned before...

I think that he also played the Remy and Roland Klinkenberg remix of Eye Wall.

I was on the second level 10 feet from Armin all nite. The best part was that he was fucking have what seemed to be the time of his life. His buddy told him that they said to start wrapping it up and armin rolled his eyes and said...c'mon...just one amazing night

oh yeah - he also spun pvd - crush
