Yes, Tiesto was there! He played from about 12:25 to 12:55 a.m., a 30 minute set which ended with the worldwide premier of the new theme for Dance4Life: a growing, worldwide project to fight back HIV and AIDS by dancing. Right before the new song played, the MC asked the crowd to dial 2020 on their cellphones and type in DANCE. I did it and got an immediate reply thanking me for the contribution. I hardly even noticed that the remaining balance on my prepay card changed, but together millions can be raised this way!
Ferry Corsten came on at 5 a.m. and rocked the house with some excellent tracks includng "Fire" and Moonman "Galaxia." Then, after a wicked Trance set, the music went back to House (again, yawn). Seems that many of us in America are finally over House and that Europe (or perhaps ID&T) is just discovering it. Seemed like there was a mass exodus after Ferry's set, but I didn't stay around to see for sure.
So, I walked around and got drinks, pizza etc., listened to some old House tunes and then made sure to be on the floor for Tiesto, Sander and Ferry. The view was stunning though...at 11 p.m., the entire floor was packed and a good part of the stadium seats as well. The crowd was beyond nice, someone actually realized they had accidentally brushed into me and moved back insisting that I go ahead of them. That 40,000 people can organize so peacefully and be so polite to each other is very impressive, and I love Holland for that!
Now some pics from the night, will add more when I return to the States after the Love Parade (yeah!) Oh, and how ironic that as I post this review, the LA TA's are dancing to Armin. If that teletransport machine from Star Trek had been perfected in time, I would be there with you!
