Yeah, we stayed for 10 minutes and left. They were a bit too downtempo for me at that moment in time. They were still good though.

It was funny that my friend wanted to pimp slap a kid who asked, "Who the hell is Sonic Youth?" LOL

I guess he felt old. I just felt educated.

LOL, I'm older than most of the people here and I still have no idea of who Sonic Youth is. Maybe if I heard their songs or something....

When did I get so ancient? Sonic Youth, precursor to grunge--my favorite song was "Bull in the Heather".

PS I really dont think there is an Oakenfold remix of Unkle - In A State or that it was played at all for that matter.

In regards to Ferry's set, I could be wrong about the In a State remix. It was his third track I believe, and it certainly sounded like it except for the vocals. The acoustic guitar was certianly there. I asked Ferry about it and he acknowledged that he played In as State. I had been thinking that Ferry had made a bootleg, but he said it was Oakenfold's, but maybe I misunderstood him. If anybody knows for sure, let us know.

Phw0ar, great reviews Joel & Julio, glad you guys had such a awesome time! You'll have to tell me more in detail, I'm sure there were many more antics involved.. muahahah. Hopefully next year there'll be another top lineup and I too will be in attendance. See ya'round carnts

PVD cancelling pissed me off but I was thinking, hey it'll still be cool with BT Mauro and Ferry....BT also cancelled and a bunch of people left really pissed off...that was really bad!

Mauro rocked it! He dropped that song with the Steve Winwood sample Valerie (Call on Me)...the place was jumpin.

Ferry came on and I was hopin he would stick to uplifting trance and he started off that way...I was jumpin up and down like mad. The first two tracks were great, especially track 2 (ID!!!) and then he moved into a vocal track (Jan Johnston???) and then into SB vs SS - Red Line Highway. Awesome track...then moved into a track I knew he'd spin and that was his remix of synaestheisa. Afterwards it was Voller Sterne Super 8 remix. Awesome track indeed. He then started goin in the direction I hoped he wouldn't...

I forget the tracklisting after this point cus I completly lost interest.

He started dropping tracks like Rock Your Body Rock, Punk, and It's Time...God I fucking hate those tracks...I fucking hate them with a passion. How the Fuck can people go nutts to shit like that...I turned to my friend who was also having a good time before and he looked at me and was like, "what the fuck? what happened to the quality tunes?" He's not a huge trance fan like me to know all that's out there, but he knew the quality tunes and he knew what was bad...and the shit at the end was bad!

Anyways, I know a lot of people like those tracks, so it wasn't surprising to see people still goin nutts and singing to that awful robotic voice in Rock Your Body Rock. But I did get to dance to atleast 45 min of quality Ferry and an entire quality Mauro set.

Anyways, If people are lookin for a trakclist for Ferry, here's what I got so far

1. ID
2. ID
3. Vocal track
4. Scott Bond Vs. Solar Stone - Red Line Highway
5. Thrillseekers - Syneasthesia(Ferry Corsten Remix)
6. Mirco de Govia - Voller Sterne(Super 8 Remix)

Tracks following this were:
Gouryella - Ligaya???
Ferry Corsten - Rock Your Body Rock
Ferry Corsten - It's Time(Ferry's Flashover Mix)
Ferry Corsten - Punk

Anyways, it was still a rockin good time thanks to Mauro and half of Ferry. On the drive back home, I put in Sasha - Involver for the first time and listened to the whole thing about 3 times before deciding to change the cd. Good Stuff

Dude go easy on Ferry's electro flavour, you don't have to like it but have some respect cos many people do, and more importantly, Ferry deserves it.

So YOU were the guy rolling your eyes at your friend when he started playing his own tracks. I was the tall Mexican guy in the yellow shirt next to ya if you were up front. I figured you weren't feeling those tracks by the way you kinda just stood there...I'm glad you dug the first half of his set though, it was good stuff.

I kinda wished he had played other stuff, but I understand that not everyone has access to mp3s galore and Trance websites such as this to feed their needs. Not everyone sees his tracks as "old news" like some do. I have heard his tracks more than enough times and I will say they don't have the "new track" scent on them anymore, but dude....Ferry Corsten was 15 feet away from you in the flesh. That alone spells great night.

Also, don't be so hard on the guy. I'm not sure of the reasons you stopped having fun during his set, but try not to pigeonhole the guy for trying to do something different. Typecasting sucks and lots of people are doing that to Ferry. If you don't care for the "mainstream" stuff and wanted to hear more underground, then I feel ya a bit on that. Too bad he only had an hour and a half. I'm sure he would have played more "underground" stuff had he been given more time. Just try to appreciate the fact he took the offer to play or else we may have had to endure DJ Sammy or Ian Van Dahl or something.

Well, I was wrong about that In a State track. It actually was the Carlos Vives track Como Tu Oakenfold remix, except it had no vocals or if there were any we didn't notice. It did sound pretty good live. Sorry for the confusion. I feel like a noob, but in my defense there are some similarities, although I think In a State Sasha remix is a better track.

After I posted, I realized I did say some things in the wrong way...they are only my opinions and I do realize a lot of people like those tunes. But I really don't like them and it was hard to get into the set when he dropped them. Doing things different is good. It is very good for the scene, but I didn't like his approach to doing things differently. Again, it is my opinion only.

I am very much into various styles of music and not just uplifting typical ASOT stuff (not that you were insinuating I was). I really enjoyed the first bit of his set, it's why I wanted to see Ferry just like why I would want to see Armin. But it's just those few tracks he's made that have no appeal to me....and he dropped all of them at the end which was a bummer. The night as a whole was great and very much worth a 9 hour drive from St. Louis and a 12 hour non-stop drive to Indiana where my friend goes to school (had to drive non stop sun night to get him back to class by Mon...craziness).

But yes, sorry if I came across as just tearin Ferry down. I really do have much respect for the guy....just not those particular tracks. Only other downer was not hearin some Sweetest Dreams but whatcha gonna do.

Whoever replied and said "you were the guy I saw..." hopefully you don't remember me as an idiot who just stood there the whole time cus I really was into everything earlier, including Mauro. Everyone around me was also havin a good time and I enjoyed havin a good time around you as well...wherever you were in the crowd!

No worries mate. You just come off as VERY educated about your Trance. I didn't like his new songs either when I first heard them. I guess they grew on me. It was fun partying with ya and hope to do it again sometime. Peace bro.

Me and a few friends made it out the new orleans as well. After a tiring 14 hour drive from lubbock I would have to say it was worth it.

While I caught bits and pieces of some of the DJs, I'll have to say this.
For all the talk I've heard of digweed, his set wasn't impressive. Nor did he seem to make any effort to get the crowd going at all. I could have missed it if he did, on my walk back from other bands.

I enjoyed Monk's set, the only song that I remember is the remix of "seven nation army" which i've heard somewhere before. Not to say that was the best song, but my memory is shitty to say the least.

Ferry was great to see, as someone mentioned earlier he played some of his more well known tracks (rock your body rock, punk, right of way) but seeing him for the first time I was happy to hear these tracks. (call me what you will I love these tracks, although rock your body has lost its touch)

As for the Bands, hands down Green Day put on the best show, props to those kids who were fortunate enough to get on stage and play their instruments (how lucky was that kid to keep his guitar!?!)

Beastie Boys were awesome, mix master mike is the shit.
Cypress Hill, had to check them out for a little bit.
The Pixies were pretty good too.

If anyone was in the Dj tent watching the people spinnin Poi(glowsticks for the lay men(sp?)), A buddy of mine was tearin it up. The most prominent move I can think of was when he was spinning them and then proceeded to do a front roll on the ground while still spinning as well.
