OK, so to answer Tony's question.....long story short, I had 2 friends in town that weren't very excited about hitting up a club, and since I hadn't seen them in a while, I decided to skip AvB, esp. since I slacked and didn't get a presale.

So, a few comments...

Originally posted by Spliph -the sound levels!?!? grrrrr, there was something wrong...seriously... I heard it clip a few times and the rumble of the bass was just soo not clear.... plus if you were on the stage (by the cages) you could hear the reverb of the speakers....

This does not suprise me at all! Did anyone else go to Above & Beyond? The levels were SO off. The problem is that I don't think the DJ or the sound guys realize what is going on down on the floor. My ears were ringing for 2 days after A&B. I bet some of the bad mixing/sound had something to do with this.

Sounds like this was a marginal show from the sound of the packed, newbie crowd and jacked levels. From the playlist, it looked great, but not as good as his last show (damn, I was on cloud 9 or better yet "Cloudwalking"...lol, ok, I am a dork) A few that would have made the night nearly worthwhile alone were:
Deepsky ft. Jes vs Yilman Altahan - Ghost vs Eighties (AvB bootleg)
Armin van Buuren ft. G & D - Zocalo
Gabriel & Dresden ft Molly - Tracking Treasure Down

Thought he might play Kuffdam & Plant - Summer Dream, but I guess he didn't (which makes me feel a little bit better for missing the show).

Well, don't know what else to say except that I am sorry that I missed some of the TAs (Tony/Christen/JennierRene, it will never happen again).

before or after you jumped the fence and went running into armin's arms bawling and screaming "i love you" causing him to trainwreck on more than one occasion? the sight of the bouncers trying to pry you off armin while you're kicking and screaming is a sight that i think will haunt me for awhile.

just curious what does everyone seem to mean by newb crowd? its vision...im not sure what the capacity is but its a lot... isnt it always mostly a newb crowd?
i also didnt see armin making funny faces at anyone... i dont know how manypeople were actually rolling... but i know it was way too hot in there in certain spots.. and lot of people were just suffering from that...
anyway
yea the crowd looked absolutely exhausted by the encore...(or even 3:30) as did armin.
so good job rj & erik

i just remember walking in and turning to my buddy saying "if the crowd is anything like tiesto... this is going to suck"... and there's your night...although armin was a hell of a lot better even on his off night...

I'm sure there are Vision "Regulars" , those who go all the time. Honestly, for me, Vision was my first real club experience. And I tend to go back there, rather than somewhere else.

I say Real experience, because the ones in Des Moines suck ass.

But there are always people who are new to the scene, and i think Vision is a great place to start out at.

probably a dumbass question, but what track is playing on this one? sounded great [even with the bass killing your microphone ].

btw, was that a Canon camera you used? looks like the same quality as mine and those awesome purple streaks from the lights too.

pics are up on www.visionnightclub.com

Sorry guys , about posting my review of the night. Been so busy that didn't even knew it was tuesday already. Alright here i go...
Armin again but out a lot of people to Vision. Which as expected. I thought the opening djs did a good job or almost too good of job since I was kinda feeling tired before Armin even came on. Well the first half of kinda left me disapointed. but the last half of his set was upto par with his last performance at Vision. Couple tracks i would love to get ID'd but don't know. Just wondering does Vision record there sets? Well, anyway will come to see Armin again when he is back. Gotta give the guy the credit for pull out alright from his off night.
