I dare to dis-agree. It's a good set don't get me wrong but look @ what he's playing and on what date. This is SASHA here, one of the world's best djs. Looking @ the track list, he's not really bring anything new to the table. The only track I hadn't heard was the new Luke Chable track. Sasha would get I'd say @ least 50 new tracks a week. FFS Armin, Diggers, J00f all manage to get about 10 tracks they air a week, surely Sasha could of brought out more then 1 new track in the set.
It's far from fresh and revolotionary like GU13 or NE2 are. They are LIFE CHANGE cd's. This set was dated when he spun it. Quite annoying, the mixing is as good as expected, but the tracklist is nothing no one couldn't do @ home. We can all own those tracks (except for Ride).

Yeah actually you're pretty much right. I hadn't been following Sasha that much before as you probably have. A -lot of the tracks he's been playing are pretty dated. I was very impressed with Pete Tong's portion of that essential mix though. Quality stuff!

Thanks to the Internet, I don't think it's very easy to play a huge amount of good unknown tunes nowadays. How many of those tracks would you or let alone an average punter know if you didn't have an access to internet? Ok, and let's say Sasha gets 50 new tracks every week. You think he gets 50 future classics every week or even tunes that are worth playing out? I don't think so...

I think it's a bit stupid to compare a liveset to mix cd's which are being tweaked for weeks, if not for months. And once again, if NE2 was being released next Monday I'm sure we would have heard most of those tracks before, thanks to the Internet.
And my final question for djway: out of those 30000 punters that attended Creamfiels, how many do you think were stroking their chins and complaining about the dated tracks Sasha was playing?

And if you guys like this set, then checkout his set from Guvernment, Toronto on August 31st 2003 (the stream is available on his site). Amazing set...mindblowing. I wish I could relive that night. It was unbelievable. After that night I voted him number 1 on the DJ Mag poll.
edit i could really use a tracklist for his set at Guv.
