go see him play in the states. his sets are so watered down its fucking ridiculous. tiesto used to be amazing. first time i saw him was impulz 2002 in holland. download the set, its fucking amazing, esp the last 30 minutes. i got spoiled by seeing him for the first time in his prime and in his homeland. whenever ive seen him here (miami) it was total bullshit. not to mention the fucking cash you have to dish out just to see him here. its not worth it. he doesnt even care when he plays here. no crowd interaction, doesnt build up his sets, nothing. just grabs the same 5 records that made him who he is, traffic, lethal industry, love comes again, just be, etc etc etc etc etc and presses play. he doesnt try anymore. i mean i cant really blame him, but its just annoying. i will only ever go see him again if i see him at some massive event in europe. everywhere else he sucks.
i do agree though, his radio show is awesome (most of the time). out of the major djs weekly shows, his is the best. but when he plays live he doesnt play that way. theres really only a handful (5 or less) of events all year long where you can get a good tiesto set. isos6 release party at hmh last year, and trance energy 2008 being two obvious recent ones. look at every other tracklists. they are all bullshit.
tijs didnt stay true, so for that reason, i have no problem talking shit about him. then again, if i was in the same position, i wouldnt mind if half the internet was talking shit about me, cuz id be laughing all the way to the bank.
but just so its clear, i actually do still like tiesto. i just dont listen to a lot of the new stuff, mostly just rock out to the older sets. he has more classic fucking sets than any other dj. hands down.
