Armin Review
First off, I don’t think I’ll ever go to another show that I know is going to be as packed like this one was. Impossible to dance, impossible to move, impossible to breathe at times. I couldn’t even get out on the main dance floor it was so crammed. Not to mention that over half of everyone there was rolling to the extreme and it was so obvious. I mean granted there’s people that can handle it and people that can’t and act like complete idiots bouncing all over everything and everyone that’s there. Not saying I’m perfect but I think I am smart enough to know when to take a breather and sit down and when it’s ok to dance but still watch out not to trample on anyone. It really got old being groped on by people that I didn’t know who assumed it was ok to touch me because they were rolling their asses off. I was looking forward to PVD but seeing as how crammed it was for Armin, I think I might pass. I like to dance when I’m at a club. Not just stand around because there’s no room to move.
Now as for Armin goes, he was good. Played a good set. Nothing that made me go “WOW this is awesome!”, like I had expected I might be with all the hype that was brought up. Some of it seemed kind of repetitive after awhile. Almost techno. But he played some good stuff. I thought it was awesome he started off with Ghost which kicked it off and he included Playmo towards the end to help finish it off. Not to mention he threw in G&D for the encore oh and it’s featuring MOLLY by the way, not spelled Mollie as mentioned above. He’s still not close to my favorites by any means but it was a good show. What I thought was funny was that when we got there even 15 min. before the club opened, since we didn’t have presale and we wanted to make sure we’d get in, the presale line was lined up all the way around the corner even at that early and the cash line had only about 5 people in front of me. We got in before most of the presale people did. I think paying the extra $10 was worth getting in and not having to stand in line for an hour. Kinda sad but ya that’s just pretty much my review on Armin. He had good crowd interaction. Oh and my favorite part was when he dropped Without You Near. I love that track.
I liked RJ’s set. I thought he did a great job. And I think that’s why I also was so tired by 3AM. I had been up that morning already at 6AM and had been walking all day. The only time I sat down Saturday was literally my ride to Chicago which takes about 4 hrs. So my feet were so damn tired and soar I was honestly ready to crash which usually I’m ready to go until the morning. But I thought RJ really got the crowd going and even some of my friends were like “Who is this guy he’s good!” And he threw down G&D’s Arcadia which is always a sure way to get me moving and smiling. I think I danced more actually to RJ’s set than Armin’s. Reading this over, I’m realizing this review is kinda on the negative side so I’m going to stop.
Positives:
Got to dance a little. Heard some good music. Had a good time. Got to hang out with a lot of people I hadn’t seen in awhile and met some new friends as well.
Oh and I really liked the Halloween decorations at Vision. It looked awesome. I will post my pictures soon.
