Wow I must be getting old... I'm SO sore lol!

Venue - boo minus. horizontal>vertical. I pouted when they changed Roseland from horizontal to vertical; but the setup there somehow allows for a little more movement. But the funnel effect going on in the pier was pretty nasty; made it quite uncomfortable. We kept relocating to the back for a little breathing room. The constant being shoved by people coming and going was enough to drive you insane. Sound mid-pier was a little odd; but we trained to the very front for the last hour which was beyond disgusting but the sound was GREAT. All my vids from mid pier; you hear more talking from surrounding people than music. The lasers off the buildings were cool; but I kinda expected bigger and better from made in the way of lighting.

The only venue pluses were of course, the scenery and the sunset; spectacular, and we couldn't have gotten a better day! That, and I never waited more than 10 minutes to pee; normally with made events I have partial kidney failure. Gave up on drinking though had one glass of wine and when I finished felt like I'd stuffed cotton balls in my mouth!

As for the set, I loved it; the day part best; I love when we get to hear him play different stuff. Mid to rear pier you couldn't really hear much aside from the bass and there were cut ins and outs (I realize some were to make the crowd sign along but a few didn't make sense)... not sure which of those were PVD and which were equipment.

Funny part of the night was walking 20 blocks up West side highway, finally finding a cab; hoping in to go 10 blocks the wrong way (had to turn around) and the cab breaking down in the middle of the intersection and James and random street men having to push the cab out of the intersection, leaving us pretty much where we ended up.

I remember the first thing I thought to myself when I got to the venue was "wow this is very narrow". Despite it being narrow, I personally don't usually move around too much for bathroom breaks or drinks, so I guess I didn't notice how congested those areas were.

I noticed that pvd was a bit selfish... lol...meaning that most of the vocal tracks by other producers that he COULD have played the vocals to, he didn't. I.E - In and Out Of Love - Richard Durand Remix. I was getting my singing voice ready to hit those high notes and he never delivered! haha.

New York City was also played like three times, dub/mix of the original, and super8 & tab twice! I have a broken tracklist that I'll post later - I'm sure gerard and others were keeping tabs so we can probably i.d. most of the tracks.

Uhh.... Kelly, Jon, Albert... where the hell were you guys? I only bumped into Meg and Gerard, Burak at the very beginning of the show. Were you guys near the huuuuge fight that broke out? I was like one row in front. That guy was crazy... made the fight at Pachita seem like childs play.

Oh well, glad the crowd got it under control... PVD tore it up, but I was hoping to hear more vocals. Also, when arriving to the venue i realized I lost my keys. I had to run back to westchester to pick up some car insurance documents instead of going to Love I'm sure that and the official after party were both a blast. *Sigh* Hope there's a third classic's night next year!

"The Boys Are Back In Town"...

I loved the atmosphere of the venue...mind you it was a really nice day...had it rained...it would have been horrible...the sound was pretty fair up front to the middle, but from the middle to the back it was too quiet...

I really enjoyed Paul's set...especially towards the end...and the NY track was CRAZZZZZY...

I remember everyone cheering for the dude on the jet ski...and laughing when he fell in...dude STILL JAMMED IT OUT even when he was in the water LOL

the lines for the bathroom sucked...that was my only real complaint

I think just how the day/weather was made a huge difference and personally i had a really great time...

Great meeting you Lyss and Drew and I had a blast with you Germain!!! and of all the places bumping into Euphoria hehehe

(PS....is it really Sunday already??? all that hype, and its fucking over bahhhhh )

from what i remember i had a good time
the weather was perfect the venue was deff a nice change
pvd deff delivered great set
i did not like the sound, deff very weak need more speakers
i also did not like the position,setup and staff of the drink booths
the line was blocking basically all of the main floor when you tryed to walk past and when its sooo dumb you have to get tickets first then the drink and not to mention the retarted staff
i go up to the ticket booth and say let me get a ticket to get a white wine, lady goes "its more then one ticket"
my response "ummm ok so how many do i have to buy"
her response "read the sign"
like seriuously if you know how many tickets it is why are you busting my chops for lol

overall it was a good party

the venue was good & bad. i liked that it was a breath of fresh air after central park & absolutely loved the river views with jersey in front & a NYC skyline in the back. It was crowded, however, and the narrow are made it tough to move so you had to stay in one spot most of the night. I had a great time though, the music had some definite highlights. My favorite moment was Super8 & Tab's remix of NYC, thanks for ID'ing that guys I didn't know it was super8's remix but it was definitely melodic and nicely uplifting, which is no surprise now that I know who was on the remix job. Weather was perfect!
