Bah... What the hell is Armin's problem? He goes to Boston and plays a stellar set and yet he went to the greatest city in the world and he gave us shite?

im sure he played 90% of the same tracks just for the 2 hours so it was better then a 5 hour punishment.

exactly. armin for two hours might not be that bad because he is a fast food DJ, a McDJ. over two hours? simply unbearable.

Armin is a very nice guy. There's no debating that. It's part of why he's so popular.

But this unfortunately doesn't translate into better sets.

Different strokes for diff folks!!

He is still very uplifting, so of course the people who do not like that sound anymore will get bored of it.

The same reason why a lot of the people who still like that sound hate tiestos more darker/techno direction.

I say enjoy them both

me2... and u can get all the fluffy shit out of the way in the first hour of a tiesto set... making Armin completely un-necessary.

This is kinda a silly discussion, but if you were at Avalon last night, then I think you'll know that he genuinely did play a fantastic set. Probably the best trance set I have ever heard since PvD played Avalon on Halloween 2002. Just go to the Avalon message board, and you'll find a dozen or so reviews from people who normally rank on trance djs all day, but who all gave shining reviews of last night.

I'm not trying to agree with Matt (dimethguy) on whether or not Armin van Buuren is the greatest dj in the world because last night's set was great ( I think that's silly, and it invariably leads to these pointless fanboy debates ), but plain and simple, Armin's set last night brought the normally ultra-cool Avalon crowd to a boil. Beautiful women were going crazy, ruining their perfect makeup and hair that they spent 6 hours on getting ready, stuck-up macho men in tight Armani tanktops were brought to tears, and even PvD showed up and was like, "Daaaaaamn". Oh alright, so maybe that didn't happen, but the set really did have the whole place bouncing. At one point the whole balcony was shaking from every single person up there jumping up and down. It was the kind of music that just naturally touched the right chord with everyone; the perfect mix of melodies, baselines, coolness, funness, and raw craziness.

I don't think his set at Avalon should be used to make any sweeping judgements of Armin, because I've seen him deliver completely medicre-to-poor sets at Roxy in NYC too. All I think you can learn from Armin last night at Avalon, is that Armin at Avalon is a great way to see him in top form.


And as I said in the NYC section already, if you missed the set last night, and you could have gone...................kill yourself. It was that good.

ps. Armin maybe played 10 minutes of uplifting, "fluffy" trance last night, the other 2+ hours were pure banging, nasty music.
