Chris i agree with what you and nick are saying, but from the tracklist you guys have recently compiled, the sets really look pretty damn lame. Usually the first half to 3/4 quarters of set is comprised of insipid artist tracks from Just Be and EOL, and other abhorrent tracks like "Hes a Pirate" or "Dance for Life" and some new inane remix of an older classic, ie Lethal IndustryVIII, etc. its as predictable as a june shower. than as the noobs clear the concert hall to get home in time for curfew than he will bang out some decent tunes with proper tech stompers and occassionally go on a tear.
The thing is before putting out two albums a month became the tour de force, and subsequently going on the ensuing promotional tour for that album; he used to just tour, the old fashioned way. no new albums, no concerts, no circus, no win over the planet aspirations. and when you saw him it was just magik, and you didnt have to worry that if you saw him for 5-6 hours, there would be a little bite size morsel for you towards the end, or middle, or whatever. you used to get the whole damn cookie, you got the bang for your buck the whole show. that means if he spun for 5-6hours or even 2-3, he only whored out one of his own productions at like a clip of 1 per hour. it was a beautiful thing.
now when i see a tracklist of his its pretty much just tiestos greatest hits and the latest cheese list. its disgusting.
dont get me wrong it would be disingenuous to think that tijs or anyone else wouldnt throw in a few of his own tracks into a set, new or old, but to dilute 75% with it?! totally unnecessary.
another thing i find disconcerting is his recent habit of cutting his gigs short, the Atlanta gig was advertised to be five hours, instead he played 3-4, he should be ashamed of himself. personally i wouldnt tolerate such bait n switch tactics, i find this to be totally unscrupulous behavior. and i dont want to hear it was the promoters fault, as im sure team tiesto has a hand in any promotions for these EOL events that go out. dont promise what you cant deliver, its misrepresentation and catergorically dishonest.
at any rate, i give you guys over at tiesto tracklist your props, despite all the crap you remain ardent fans is a true testament of loyalty and fandom.
