I was pleasantly surprised, I used to be a hardcore PVD fan, but I haven't seen him in almost a year, I was sick of the same songs all the time (I'm not a fan of vocal tracks in general), same encore every time, playing songs twice in the same set, all of the things that helped him become #1 to new listeners.

My favorite part about PVD is when he plays hard, which usually doesn't happen until hour 4 or 5 of a six hour set, if at all. I hated his outdoor sets cause they were always so slow. To my surprise, he was playing techno in the daylight, this was my favorite CP show of his(however I missed the year it rained).

I may have blacked out, I don't remember alot of stuff, but I know I was having fun the whole time. Some of my faith has been restored.

Originally posted by ColorDancer I had a great time and good peeps to hang out with, but the crowd made me feel a little on edge; maybe just because it was SO many people but I felt like I was surrounded by people who were really, really wasted.

I'm guilty of being one of the really, really wasted. Thanks for looking out for me mama :kiss:

I must say i thought saturday sucked (i didnt go friday). I havent been out to see a trance DJ since Armin was at spirit ( about 2 years ago). I hated the long-cheesy ass build ups and people praising/sucking PVDs dick when the beat dropped. Some of it was off key like somone said and cofused the shit out of people. Im always on the dance floor at parties but i was on the bleachers 3/4 of the night and could not get into the music. I guess im the only one that thought the track selection was weak despite a few fat house beats. And to make things worse i fucking hate 'time of your life'. I met kingchinc for a quick minute and def. a cool ass dude. The night just prooved to myself that im not longer into trance like i once was. Im glad everyone else had a good time tho.

I've been complaining about the bathroom situation for years. Bottom line, Made doesn't give a shit. They know it will sell out regardless, and they don't care.

Funny thing is, they're shooting themselves in the foot. The ppl they are hurting the most are the older people who are actually drinking. We're the ppl spending all the $ on alcohol, and we're the drunk ones eating all the food, we use bathrooms more than the kiddies on drugs. I'm 28 and I usually go with 6 other ppl but none of them would go this time cause they spend more time waiting for the bathroom than enjoying themselves.

Maybe I should complain to the Brooklyn Brewery, if they're the ones directly making $ off alcohol/food sales they should fight for more port-o-potties.

Originally posted by Greggy4202k I thought Saturday's show wasa pretty good. I believe he started off with Super 8 & Tab - Suru (Martin Roth Electrance Remix), which was sick. I think he also threw in Lange vs Gareth Emery - Another You Another Me (Terranova and Austin Leeds Mix) too. But the sound was mint, the weather was perfect, the crowd was pretty chill. Got to meet VTech Early on when he was taking pictures up front, saw lee and jen randomly too. The Disco Ball was SICCCCK! I loved how the whole park was illuminated from that thing. The lasers were cool too, but I think Stella designs needs to do something new with them since it's pretty much the same setup since 03. Made needs to work on a few things though: 1. the bathrooms - 30 min bathroom wait is not cool. 2. Brooklyn Brewery - some of it is good, but I think we need a change Other then that, sick night

There was def no Electrance remix as his opener - I've never seen pvd play that tune. But yeah, AYAM was nice. :P

LOL, no way mamas; I'm not talking about you! I'm talking to all the saucer-eyed etards wandering around rubbing their chest, and the meat-heads chewing on their own tongues. Us drunkards were no bother to me lol! You were pure entertainment!

It's amazing how some of you disect these shows like a freaking chemistry experiment. Why cant you just have a good time and enjoy the music. Insted you sit there on the bleachers and try to find anything that goes wrong with the show to write about on here. "Oh I thought the sound level was off, I think the colors were too bright, I hate the vocals, time of our lives sucks, he should of playes more groovy beats" Shut up already! Don't go anymore if you dont like it. It seems like these DJ's have to pass a test with all of you when they put on a show.

I'm not pro-hating at all; but reviews have both good and bad; as most people have written. Can't always please everyone.
