It is about the music but when the person playing the music is mad and not giving it 100%, you start to ask questions about it. I heard how much he made for that night and I still do not get it. For that price, you deserved better. Just my 2 cents

Originally posted by torontotrance i do remember that but I do remember the poor performance he put on. I've held it against him for a while, sure I bet I will bashed for this but the amount of money that ppl paid and his attitude that night was pathetic. I mean nothing is ever perfect with equipment but he sure showed how bad he was that night. Sure if shit blows up then you can't do it but I would have played my 4 hrs then never played the place again (which he has not played since). PvD pulled the same stunt in 2001 with Charles K (Oct 2001) and he never played till just recently. I've always had a problem with deejays that have to have everything just perfect or hell breaks loose. I was there that night and I view it as even if everything was perfect that night, his performance would have been poor. He said in interviews that it was his worst time period but if you don't really want to dj and be there, why be there. Sure tiesto is human but his attitude showed that night.

that was one bad performance in Toronto out of how many though? His set in June was one to remember, as was his set in October 2001, and Wintergalatic 2001...

I wasn't at Area2 so I can't speak for that performance, but the general understanding is that Tiesto has ABSOLUTELY blown the house off in TO every gig he has done (6 or 7 in total I believe) except in Dec 2002. You can't expect him to perfect every night.

No I don't but I expect him to put out 100% regardless, hell I expect all deejays to put out 100% effort, if you sound like fucking hell then you sound like fucking hell but at least you tried. That was my original point, just give an effort and at least you tried but he did not try, the look on the face suggested he rather curl up in a hole and hide. I've never denied that he tore the roof off the koolhaus in 2001, which was one of the greatest sets of alltime. The demeaner showed tho, he put the effort in 2001 but not 2002. Hopefully in 2004, he will put out the effort and we shall see.

Once again to different people it is different. As for me it doesn't matter how good dj is spinning and what is the quality of his mixing if the dj is boring or spins boring tracks. I will just start yawning.

Again to tiesto making money and selling out, well, it is his job, he can allow himself to ask so much money for the night and people will still pack the club. I would do exactly the same thing. If there is chance to make money why would you spin for 3 000 bucks a night if you can make 30 000. As to his performance on Dec 2002, well, he was tired, he felt exausted and it was fine with me. I understand that the other people were disappointed. I partied that night and I have a good memories about that night.

As to his new style, well, I am up for it. It doesn't destroy the flow for me. It is surprising and I like what he does with his sets. He said in the interviews so many times that he does it on purpose to create new sound and I think (again I think) he succeeds in what he does. He said he will not go back to his old style... People go to his parties, he has no need to go back to his old style. Every night, doesn't matter where he spins is overpacked... thats a good factor for a dj.
