SATURDAY JULY 27..PVD AT THE RIVIERA!

first off the tracklisting.
i was severely dehydrated last night, so my memory will be incomplete. plus i'm not a hardcore track id'er like Foxxxy, so some of the new tunes i cannot remember.

Project Medusa vs Exor - Moonshine (first track)
pvd vs city - suzann
marco v- i feel you (pvd remix)
david forbes - questions must be asked
solid sleep - club attack
ralphie b - massive
nunrg-dreamland
pvd-for an angel
pvd - another way

for the encore...it was this song with male vocals, which pvd sang along to..

...ok the last hour of his set, i was completely dehydrated from heat stroke/exhaustion so i was unable to remember anything

Riviera was a good venue, there were lots of space to dance, and the setup was good, b/c everyone saw the dj. the only problem was that there was NO VENTILATION! it was so fucking hot up front, i think i had heat stroke! the last hour of the set, i was so stinking sweaty i literally had no energy to dance. i felt as if i had been jogging in a sauna for 2 hours...

anyways...i was with rubyriva and her sister... but i also got to meet some other TA's (nice to meet you guys)

First off it was a blast to meet some of the TA's around Chicago. The venue was excellent. Plenty of space to dance and move about unlike Delta Heavy Tour, Sasha & Diggers @ Allstate Arena. It was easy to get on the main dance floor.

Only complaint was that there was no air moving in that building. I was going to pass out on the floor and take a nap... then I looked at the dance floor ewww.

The crowd knew who they were seeing and showed it. PvD really worked the crowd at the end (bringing you emotionally up and down).

I didn't know much about the warm-up DJ's but they were good. They played some really good progressive tracks to get the crown into dance mode. The bass was excellent at the venue.

Behind PvD were two giant screens that displayed random images. I loved the videos of the 60's dancers. You were able to send a text message to a phone number and have the message displayed on the big screen. It was quite funny when someone messaged, "Play Rapture" and I looked at my fellow TA's with a frown and thumbs down.

Here's how PvD's set went:
Crowd Warm-up
Artistic Mode
Trance Anthems
Random Crown Pleasers
Weird ending song

What I remember:
Klea - Tic Toc (Paul van Dyk Re-Edit)
Antiloop - Trespasser (Robbie Rivera Remix)
Summer in Space - Bass Tarts
Unknown 32:54 in paul_van_dyk_-_live_at_loveparade_pre_party-sat-12-07-2002 (I went crazy when he dropped this tune)

I really wanted to hear:
Reloop - Fucking Society (PvD edit)

His set had a "harder" feel to it. I think because Chicago is not really a trance city, mainly hardhouse/hardtrance.

The best moment was when he played Marco V - I Feel You (Paul van Dyk Remake) and I healed up my sign for that song. PvD saw it and smiled! AHHHH! I die.

Some good news: I will be DJ'ing the parties at my frat house at Iowa State and I have a single room on campus. So if any of you Chicago land TA's want to make a 6 hour drive to Iowa State and visit me just contact me.

Hello To My TA Chicagoland Brothers!

I live in a small town, Antioch, on the WI border. If you have ever been to Gurnee to see Gurnee Mills or Great America then I am about 10 min north of Gurnee.

I currently work in Vernon Hills until I leave for college. I'm going to be at Iowa State starting August 15th.

BTW, I have never seen so many rug shops in one town! Evanston is loaded with them.

I think we'll get more support for a Midwest USA fourm rather than just a Chicago fourm.

DevanteS: I hope you got pic of the venue and PvD besides the ones of the TA's

First off -

In case you all missed my thread, and I know that blake knows:

I GOT THE MARKER PVD WAS USING TO SIGN STUFF!!!

He signed this one guy's ticket stub, then handed me the marker and got up and ran away!!! I know it sounds ridiculous, but I get a kick out of it. I'm going to label any mix CD I make from now on with it!

It was swank meeting some Midwest TA's. Devantes, who was that chick in the white top you were with?!? She was gorgeous!!!

CKYTEP, Dude, I thought you were a TA, but I didn't want to say anything! I got home and saw your pic and I realized it was you! I was standing right next to you for most of the Johnny Chaos set! I was the guy in the blue polo shirt and khakis. When Devantes posts the pic, you'll see.

And for the record, to anyone who sees the pic, I was tired and sweaty as the day is bright! SO LAY OFF ME MAN! j/k

Later Kids

Just getting home from Chicago

I enjoyed the show a ton, but you all are right, it was FUCKING HOT. I have never sweated so much in my life, I thought I was going to pass out. Unfortunately the search at the door found our pack of cigs full of stuff so that was all gone .. fortunately nothing more than them taking it away. It didn't really seem like Paul was into it that much, but I heard he hadn't slept in something like 24 hours so he wasn't very much awake. Oh well, I loved the set, we left @ 1:40 to avoid the crowds getting a cab to Red No, which wasn't that sweet. I tried to tracklist from the beginning but my sheet of paper got sweat soaked. This is what I got to

1. Project Medusa vs Exor - Moonshine (Exor Mix Part 2)
2. Klea - Tik Tok (Paul van Dyk Dub Re-Edit)
3. 4 Strings - Diving
4. John Askew - The Door
5. Paul van Dyk vs City - Suzann
6. Solid Sleep - Club Attack (Paul van Dyk Remix)
7. Sommer Safari - MMDC
8. Paul van Dyk - Forbidden Fruit 2002
9. Ocean Force - Euphoric Dream
10. Ralphie B - Massive (Paul van Dyk Remix)
11. Marco V - I Feel You (Paul van Dyk Remix)

At that point my pen stopped working, so I gave up. Also spun that I remember: Supersonic, Prime Mover - The Weapon, Euphoric Dream, Emerge(Dave Clarke Remix)

However, the sequence of the night had to be ...

For an Angel --> Another Way --> Dreamland

I was floored during this. Amazing.

I hope you all enjoyed your time as much as I did, too bad the ventilation was as it was ... some of the texts were pretty funny too ...

uwmt

ps - DevanteS I think you tried to sell me a ticket around 9:45 ... I was wearing a black sleeveless shirt that said 'FCUK' if you remember

Omg..... last night was insane! I just got back to Madison, and I wish I was still there listening to Paul.

Devantes, were you trying to sell a ticket before the show by any chance ?

uwmadtrance and I were tracklisting once PvD came on. We were doing really well too.. got 13 of the first 15 tracks.. .then the paper got so wet from the sweat due to lack of airflow that it wasn't possible to continue the tracklist. We actually can't even read the tracks that we wrote down, because the ink ran.

Anyways.... here are a few of the tracks that I remember off the top of my head. I'll see what we can get together from our 1st hour tracklist once I take a look at the piece of paper. Nevermind, just got the sheet. Can't read some of it, so bear w/ me

1. Project Medusa Exor - 'Moonshine (Exor Part II)'
2. Klea - Tic Toc (Paul van Dyk Re-Edit)
3. 4 Strings - Diving
4. Vert - 'Sky (DJ Magik Muzik Mix)'
5. ID.. possibly Weapon
6. at this point we were sweating our brains off and went to get water, so missed 1-2 tracks
7/8. Solid Sleep - Club Attack (PvD Edit)
8/9. ID
9/10. Ocean Force - Euphoric Dream
10/11. Ralphie B - Massive (PvD remix)
11/12. Marco V - I Feel You (PvD Rework)
omg... after Massive, uwmt and i decided to go get water, we got about half way to the bar, and then the vocals to I Feel You kicked in, and we ran back to the floor and rocked out.

At this point, the list was ruined because we were both so sweaty that we sweat through our pants from the knees up, ruining everything in our pockets... including the tracklist piece of paper.

Anyways, other tracks that I remember.... complete trainspotting, not in any order...

Antiloop - Trespasser (Robbie Rivera Remix)
Underworld - Born Slippy (PvD Remix)
Nu-NRG - Supersonic

omg... I'm drawing blank. uwmt and I were naming almost every track while we were there, but now I can't think of any for about an hour of the set....

I do however remember we were out in the main area upstairs and we heard For An Angel mixing in, and we got back to the dance floor as quickly as possible... I was in heaven.

PvD - For An Angel mixed to PvD - Another Way mixed into Nu-NRG - Dreamland.....




Track I would have loved to hear....
Fischerspooner - Emerge.... the version he played @ Mayday which is mislabelled as Westbam Remix, not sure what the proper trackname is.

Anyway..... I had an amazing time... wish I had brought my phone. I wanted to give a shout-out to all the TA's on the big screen. sti, I think I might have seen you, not sure. I saw a tall guy in the shirt you posted, so it was probably you. Ok, this post is going on forever, so I'll cut it for now and try to remember more from the night if possible.

Hope everyone had a good time, and thank god he didn't play iio-rapture even though I saw it requested a few times.

Some of the posts that I found very entertaining over the course of the night.....

"Can I buy a vowel....e?"
"Columbian Blow"
"It kicked in"





Oh well... last night was truly a memorable experience.

Good thing you read my post before you wrote yours, since they are the EXACT same.

btw ... my tracklist was completed when I got home, there were a few ID's that I figured out from the EM
