With risk of being labelled fanboy, i'm quite enjoying the new direction. Its first time in 3-4 years that i really enjoyed a tiesto show (when he played similar in Vienna). The mixture of crossover warmup stuff, (good) pop remixed, and then ending on trancers... it just makes the set have more variety than just 4 hrs of trance, which is totally tedious thanks to todays stale scene.
I welcome a change in direction, even if that direction is sometimes not done very tastefully (Benny Benassi - I'm A DJ? c'mon Tijs!) at least its a CHANGE... and not just a.n.other 4hrs of the latest tracks from his label buddies. There is a chance this will not appeal to strict EDM or strict TRANCE fans, but he's grown out of this scene, into something else now... fairplay if he wants to embrace other styles in his sets because of it.
Sometimes this isn't going to not work at all, in a place where trance or EDM just isnt MIXED with pop for example...but times are changing, these types of sets are becoming more acceptable to the riff-raff because genre boundaries and eclectic mixes are all the rage in major dance scenes, like England and Holland. Tiesto finally woke up smelled some coffee and decided to add some of the current dance trends into his sets (even some 'melodic' dubstep during clublife).
This may look like shite on paper, but i can bet that the atmosphere was electric, because instead of 10 vocal-prog-trancers from Cosmic Gate and the like, there were 10 pop songs remixed, where everyone in the crowd could sing-al0ng and enjoy it. He's making a huge party.... let them have their fun. It's getting outside of the "inner circle" or "clique" that could be considered EDM or trance scene anyway... so why not play to the crowd in front of him... who are predominantly going to react more to hearing a remix of Empire of the Sun or Kings Of Leon, instead of the latest Jennifer Rene.
Its not everyone's cup of tea, but he has his place in this niche now... so be it.

I was there , until the guys stopped the thing by climbing the towers , i heard and saw people standing there asking what the fuck was going on , you know the people who pay to see tiesto and thus pay his wages , people were so gagging for a trance riff they exploded at his remix of calvin harris your not alone.And that remix is shit! And people on here wonder why ASOT gets lapped up?
Alternativly , you could go to a red hot chillis concert and they play elton john covers , Totally out of character and wouldnt recive a warm welcome.And there fans wouldnt put up with that.
