I've long ago handed in my PvD fanclub card and stopped following his gigs or productions... "home" was a sad reminder of the greatness that once posessed the man - now it's all about wacky schtick. There are so many times one can hope for greatness and be let down.

PvD was brilliant when he did not jump from track to track without even getting to the build-up. Ableton has made him a gimmicky posterboy for how to alienate your older fanbase. Too A.D.D. for my taste.

I'm glad I didn't go this year - leaves some hope that I may see him again sometime, albeit a chance of that is slim... Oh well, John O'Callaghan has stepped up to the plate and looks to be a prime successor to fill PvD's spot - even his track sound PvD-ish...

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Was a good night..loveded. Just sound could be a bit better. Tracklist anyone?

I wish he just had 2 CDJs and a Mixer and went old school, but hey
I give they guy credit for doing things diff. Sound and drummers where already discussed and I agree. Just a good Party Vibe the entire night, so cant complain on my end...

from what i remember

paul van dyk - nothing but you (super8 & tab remix)
paul van dyk - otherside
robert miles - children
underworld - born slippy
lily allen - the fear (id remix)
pryda - pjanno sample
paul van dyk - time of our lives (live)
paul van dyk - home (live)

here are a few more IDs from what i remember (i think)

Cuba (ID Remix)
Simon Patterson – Thump (Original Mix) [PvD Mashup] + [Live Keyboardstrings]
Dave Darell – Children (Club mix)
Funkagenda – What The Fuck + Emmanuel Top – Mars (Kai Tracid Rmx) [PvD Mashup]
Jonesy – Independance (Stadium Mix)
Paul Webster – Nailed + Elektrochemie LK – Schall [Vocal Sample]
We are Alive [PvD Mashup]
Wippenberg – Chakalaka
ID Hard Fi – Suburban Knights (Angello & Ingrosso Rmx) + [Live Keyboardstrings]
Orla Feeney – Comic Strip
David Forbes – Foldback

I mean I really don't mind that he uses Ableton but at least mix the songs right and let the flow keep building instead of cutting each song so short. That is just my opinion.

the issue is that the set was artificial, no emotion,
no beauty, no magic, no edge, plenty of $ commercial
sound... unlike arc's even!ng in the fall of 2001
iny... pure of trancenergy... wowowow...
