Though I still feel like total shit, not being 21 and all... (Paul Van Dyk...  ), I think I'll finally post my review of last night. So we got there a bit late (for me at least... I like to be there b4 11) and missed much of Serge's set, though I still got to rave insanely! I must say, Serge is like beer, a most definately acquired taste. When I first heard him spin, I didn't like the set one bit. But I was sold after he dropped "Raining Again" right before Tiesto got on. That, truly, ranks among my favorite club moments in the past year, and I remind him of it every time I see him... I think he's gotten used to hearing that very same compliment every time he runs into me in Crobar or wherever. Devant just has this style that is neither too fast nor too slow, a style that keeps you moving at just the right speed.
Ok, so on to Corsten! Now, I've been to all but 2 of Corsten's residency shows in Crobar (I missed the January one and the first one), and all I can say is that last night was the best I've ever seen him. First of all, the track selection was phenomenal. The crowd was actually raving because of the music, not because of the DJ's image. I mean, the last time I saw people so into the party was at Tiesto, when it was simply an enormous quantity of people raving because Tiesto was lifting his arms into the air and not because of the quality of the music. Ferry kept the crowd going not by flashing his name on the monitors and by gesturing at the audience, but by spinning some insane tracks, and I congradulate him for that.
The crowd, too, was phenomenal. I know that Lisa said that there were a lot of rude people in back, but you must understand that this is Crobar NYC, and the back is always packed with Guidos, FOBs, and other losers that are rude and couldn't tell you the difference between Armin van Buuren and Armand van Helden. So please Lisa (other TOTAs included), don't take it as anything more than it is: the bad people that come out of the woodwork to ruin the party for others. What really made the night great, though, were the tireless ravers in front. I'm talking about all the TAs that sang along and knew every beat of every song by heart; you guys really made the night. When Ferry dropped "Punk", I started to scream the beat and pump my fist, thinking that it would be a cool thing to do. To my suprise, I heard that everybody in front seemed to have come up with the same idea and the chorus was deafening, rocking along with the hard melody of "Punk" with absolute perfection.
I know I talked to nearly every TA in the club for a while and got a few interesting pictures taken. Unfortunately, a lot of those conversations have blurred together in my mind, having not been myself last night (hehe, for those of you that talked to me, you know what I mean). Well, because of that I have a hole in my brain the size of a Tiesto trainwreck, so I definately got all the names confused with the faces, so I apologize if I mix you guys up the next time I say hello. Well, I'd like to get those pics, but I'm sure some1 will post them when they recover from PvD... (I so wish I could have gone....).
So thanks again for the awesome night, and thank you Ferry for an amazing residency!
