tiesto has been around and pleasing crowds a lot longer than armin.....and i really really doubt either of them needs to learn crowd interaction from each other....sheesh

what the f?

you think Armin taught Tiesto??? oh dear oh dear...

oh, one other thing that just struck me about all this "he lays claim to number 1 spot.....does tiesto deserve to be number 1?" talk - some ppl act like tiesto himself came out and said "i am the best dj in the world - i deserve number 1 spot!!"....but we need to remember, he's never made a claim like that himself - i've never heard (or read) him be anythin but modest in that department - he's hardly one to bignote himself........it's the fans who've voted him number 1 - so it's hardly fair to expect him to live up to a title which has been bestowed on him by other ppl....he shouldn't be bitched about for NOT being something he NEVER said he was!!!

last time tiesto was here he looked like he'd never played up to a crowd before. This time, he made a point of noticing individuals in the crowd, dancing around a lot more, being much more of a showman, something that armin has always done, and why armin is so popular. maybe he didn't learn it from armin, but it's definately somehting he's learnt in the last two years.

hmmm are u talkin about TT last year?? cos if u are, maybe u had too many chems or sumthin, cos i sure saw a very crowd-friendly tiesto that nite!!

at TT i saw tiesto giggling and wandering aimlessly, certainly not playing a crowd anywhere near as well as armin. Still, if you guys think it's a skill he hasn't improved on dramatically, well glad you enjoy whatever he does.
and if anyone related to that venue in canberra is listening, how about some ventilation near the stage?

ROFLMAO

really?

no, not really. I just wrote that to kill 30 seconds at work.
yes, I saw a huge improvement in his ability to play a crowd between the this and the last time I saw him. I find it amazing that so many people who pay attention to this sort of thing didn't notice.

hehe i'm over the tiesto posting now....sheesh look at what i'm wasting my 10 days off work on *lol*

and tubby, that venue is never normally used for that kinda event - it's usually a dodgey meat-market for the over 30 crowd - it's not the club we usually go to here.....so don't judge us by that place *lol*

Tiesto went off

The tunes were fkn fantastic, Andy Hunter - Go was a particular highlight!

He seems to have a very unusual mixing style though, I could've sworn at one point he had two records and a CD cued up

The venue seemed a bit dodgy, and yeah it was excruciatingly hot, but the man in command of the music makes all the difference - what a night

Was a bit of an odyssey to make it, had a five hour drive from Newcastle to get there, and then a 3 hours drive back in the morning, but it's all worth it

Bring on Mobile home!
