There is no "truth" when it comes to reviews. It's a subjective experience. Just because someone agrees with you does not make it true.

I'm glad you liked the set. You really shouldn't care so much whether everyone agrees, though.

I don't know if that was in reference to my response... but, I have no problem with someone writing a negative review... {i.e., yours - you didn't think the mixing was good (I too heard at least 4 times on Sat night when the tracks weren't properly matched), you didn't like the track selection, etc.}
What I don't like is when people use their negative review to berate another person's opinion. (i.e. dxsire, "chances are you've never seen anything good"). There's no need for that, IMHO

Just to clarify...The comment regarding PVD's eclectic mix of music and style was what I found truth in. I can't see that being denied. Also, people's opinions do not concern me...it's more of what Dirichlet was talking to: the outright berating of another person's opinion...

I just do it exactly the way I enjoy listening to it. This is most of the time it is with banging beats. It is even with a soft thing, a soft melodic idea, or whatever. I still like to have it rocking. Keep in mind what this music is made for, first of all. Its not made to be easy listening on the radio. Its not made to be easy listening in television. Its actually kick ass in the club. This is what music is. This is the purpose of this art form...to listen to it and let the frequencies actually blow you away. --Paul Van Dyk

It wasn't at you. It's just a common theme that I see after every big DJ's gigs.

Lordy, it gets so contentious in here. I think we all need to look at the picture of that puppy that someone put up a while ago.

You guys haven't seen what happens when I've complained about a set and been in the minority on here, have you? I've definitely been outrightly berated more than a few times for not beig a fanboy and being critical of something someone else liked. Sometimes weekly, I think.

Also, what you said about the eclectic track selection, I agree, and I like when he does that and it fits. Maybe he does better over 6 hours than 4, which is why I enjoyed Roseland and Roxy more than the Central Park gigs. As I said before, he was just putting together tracks that didn't belong together, which is more what i meant by mixing than technical beatmatching when I said the mixing sucked.

And it's not restricted to PvD. I was standing next to SidMl for Dominik Eulberg @ Cielo a few weeks ago and he transitioned one track into another that just made us look at each other like

Anyone have the tracklist?

I enjoyed myself Saturday night in the park. Nothing can top a nice summer's evening with lasers and trance.

I too was annoyed with the drummer. He almost made Paul mess up Rank 1 - Airwave. And on principal I came up from DC to see PVD not this random dude. The only good thing about the drummer was that he seemed to liven up Paul. Normally he's stoic and boring. Saturday he was dancing around like a little kid.

No one bothered because both nights are being broadcast on Sirius this Friday.

He's always done that though

Great show, and the drummer did a pretty good job. And now since all of you seem to know so much about music and Dj's here,how about telling me what song PVD played at exactly 9 PM on saturday.
The only clue I remmember is that I heard a Prog House version of that back in March played by Ali and Sharam in Crobar. Female vocals, who almost sounds like Nadia Ali, but is not..
