tiesto at hammerstein was amazing. hands down one of my best nights out ever. six-story tall visuals (the modern dance, semi-nude dancer visuals were crazy), pyrotechnics, fireworks (indoors! is that allowed?), confetti falling from the ceiling, a three thousand strong crowd rocking out - young, old, candy ravers, models, internationals, b&t, hipsters, whoever. i'm not too crazy about the elements album itself so i'm glad he mixed in those tracks with his old standards and some of my favorite house tracks (alright, swimming places, touch me). yes, he messed up a few times but whatevs... he's human, it happens to the best, and his enthusiasm and interaction with the audience made up for it.
tiesto went on the mic at the end of the night, thanked the crowd and said it was one of his favorite nights in NY in all the years he's played here. i was surprised he actually went down into the audience twice to shake hands. the man is a born performer and he knows how to work a crowd. i love my share of dirty, small club nights where it's all about the music and the DJ's technical skills, but a night like this one really blew those others out of the water and if i could, i would do it all over again.
