Talking My nice, long review.... hey it could be longer, and no, that's not what she said!

Well, well, well. Good to see everyone had an awesome night, as I did too!

First off, it was good to finally meet some TA's, Mainer,Mainerski, Dolva. I would have like to go to the front and meet up with some other TA's, but we had a good spot. I saw the flag, and knew right away you were one of us.

So yeah, the lighting was terrible, I couldn't make out anything, or anyone for that matter. So damn dark in there, what happened to the lighting?
The sound was a bit quiet too, or maybe just a bit muffled, and no, it's not just because I was high I would have liked to have heard the music a bit better. Everyone's naming off these tracks to me, but I couldn't tell what they were because the highs and mids were a bit low.

I think the highlight of the night for me was when he played Love Comes Again! I just loved how everybody was singing out loud to it! Screaming "Love Comes Again", I think it's great when the crowd gets into it like that.

Speaking of getting into it, where was Tiesto last night???? Last night was my 4th time seing him, and I'd have to say that Tiesto looked pretty out of it. Most of the time when I was looking up at him, there was barely a smile on his face. Of course he was having fun, especially at the end. But I've seen the man just get so into it, he doesn't want to stop either. I guess it's different when he plays at the Commodore compared to other places.

Yes, the bartenders were rude, or pissed off about something, they weren't having any fun whatsoever.

The women, woooooooooooooo weeeeee. Hot damn there were a lot of hot girls there, too bad I don't have the balls to talk to any of them.

There were alot of Tiesto posters aroubnd when the night started, I thought I'd grab 1 on the way out, but they were all fucking gone already, I was so pissed off! So when I left, I stood by a lamppost where there were posters before, and they were all gone too. But, the 1 post I decided to stand beside, still had 2 posters on it, they had just slidden down the post where no one was looking. SCORE! I was so happy to get those posters. That was almost the highlight of my night.

Dolva, so that was you spraying that water huh? THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. I felt it on my back it felt damn good.

So out of the 4 times I've seen him now. This was probably the least I've liked him. I have to remind myself though, that 4 years ago he was breaking in as a DJ, now he's so much more, he do what he feels. You can't compare todays sets to 4 years ago. He stills rocks my world though

An awesome night

Well gang, as a newbie here and to trance, i have to say i had an awesome night seeing Tiesto for the first time. I had nothing to measure against so to me it was a great night!!

I expected him to start playing sooner than midnight though, so i was dissapointed that it ended at 2:30am. The lighting did kinda suck......youre right on there guys, and i expected at least a small laser in a venue that size! It would have been nice to have a little more light on the star of the show too as you could barely see him sometimes. I even jokingly said to my buddie is that really him or an impersonator.....lol.

I only recognized a couple of tracks but i enjoyed all of what he played(just should have gone on longer). The sound wasn't as good as i thought it would be after listening to what other Ta's had said about the Commodore. The mid and high's seemed too low ,almost drowned out by too much bass and reverberation especially on the upper floor.

It would be great to see him perform in a bigger venue someday but i guess we have to go to the states or Europe to see that.

All in all though.....a great night!
The crowd seemed to be having a great time.

Hello! Good times last night

Whats happening imanjace!
izvini za sinoc sto smo onako morali da zapalimo kuci iznenada...
drago mi je da smo se upoznali u svako slucaju

Well what can I say I;ll keep the review short!
"Dad" did a pretty good job last night heheh
lots of good tunes that were expected and some that were kinda lower on the energy scale...
pretty good flow of the night although maybe unecessary kinda progy middle part... could be left out...
all in all great night with my friends and dancing my ass off for the first time in many years
yes I am getting old
and I noticed that he wasnt all that energetic and into his set as he can be and as I saw him before... his 2001 show was his most energetic one I saw... the year after that he was not in the mood at all and then last year he was so so into it...
last he seemed to have more interaction then the last years benson and hedges show but still not much in my opinion
I guess as mortyman said now he is on the top and you cant really compare the shit from years back...
Lighting was also very minimal and the stage setup was pretty ghetto... like nobody important was coming to play. pretty strange.
even with all this I still had a good time with friends and a lot of folks I know from our little community.
it was also good that he stayed a little bit at the end to do some signing as well as give out some signed records.

This afternoon around 6pm on CityTV was a little segment on the party at the commodore and him last night.
That little brown dude prepeared a copule of minutes on him. a little parts of the interview with him outside somewhere in vancouver and clips from the last nights show.
that reporter came to the venue at the same time I did... I saw him at the door getting in.

ya it is true that there were a lot of messed up people. at least as much as I noticed. also most of the babes were with their gorillas so ya that was pretty sweet...

Thats as much as I can remember for now
Another memorable night and it seemed everybody was enjoying themselves

Talking

I thought it was a great show. MAINER, too bad I didnt see you and your buddy once you got in. I got my flag signed, anyone get a picture of him holding it up??? I tried to get a pic of him holding it up, but I was worried the vinyl he autographed for me was gonna get stolen. I would really appreciate it if someone who snapped a pic of him holding it could post it or post a link. Me and a group of ppl waited out back of the commodore til 4am but he never showed he must have gotten out early or went out the front. It was great meeting more TAs. You guys have to let me know when you come down to Seattle! The vinyl he passed down to me was D.T V A.B- Take My Hand white label promo. I will post pix I took later. I thought he wasn't at his best, but it still was a great show. Kevin did a great job opening. Lighting could have been WAY better, and where was the laser????
