You were expecting the same Ishkur that totally shit on trance in his "Guide to Electronic Music" to have something good to say about Tiesto in Concert?

he didnt 'shit' on trance... he shitted on music that was not real trance... ever read his review of butrock Goa? hahaha... maybe that was just in his old guide...

Rank 1 - Airwave isn't trance?

yeah, ok

many parts of the article i do agree with.

the dvd gets boring to watch and its much better to listen to and watch the vocalists and the extra footage.

im a big fan of tiesto and i liked the dvd. I think they should have included the 8 hour set in audio format at least, instead of just giving us the 3 hours.

its his opinion.. plus he can back his opinion up with the cookie cutter explanation... can you back up your reasoning why it is trance?

If a shower curtain were draped around the decks, would people even be able to tell it was Tiesto playing? Tiesto is not a DJ. He is an attention whore who has done a really good job marketing himself as a DJ. He is a businessman selling himself as a DJ. He is a rock star under the guise of a DJ. But he is not a DJ.

hahaha dont get me wrong I still like him

and in some cases, being in the right places at the right times...

I agree with him. That DVD is terrible, for exactly the reasons ishkur lays out. And as I have said before, calling Airwave "not trance" does Trance music a huge favor. I have been a huge fan of trance for many years but that overblown anthem junk nearly drove me away at one point.

I'd have to agree, that dvd was really, really, really gay. I ended up watching ~10 minutes (skipping through hoping something more interesting was going to come on) before deleting it.

I don't really like the idea of a concert either, I for sure wouldn't want to hear one dj, one style, one sound for a hella long time. That's the beauty of the usual ~3 hour headline sets, long enough for you to go nuts but short enough to leave you wanting more (for next time).

my 2 cents
