arguing about tiesto is pointless, for some reason i engage in these circular arguments anyways. and if all u saw was the first 20-30 minutes and than left, than yes the set sucked, but go reread my previous post. time for class;
the thing is with international dj superstars like Tiesto, PVD, AVB, is that they TOUR CONSTANTLY. which means they play to the masses and play to newer fans ALL THE TIME, which means they HAVE to drop cheesey hits like Love Comes Again, Shiver, Crush, etc. because that is what the crowd wants to hear, who is not as in tune to EDM as me or you. the constant over touring also leads to the diluted set quality due to exhaustion, boredom, etc. this does not neccesarily mean that they suck or 'have lost it' compared to the past. hell the music now is much different than it was 5-6 years ago when Tiesto was just so awesome as some of you think.
anyone expecting to hear a mint set or "A-Game" set from tiesto in atlanta is either clueless or delusional. the only place where tiesto might play an "A-Game" set in north america was at space miami, or docks toronto in recent memory. he might play some good sets in other cities but nothing epic. the environment and the crowd have to be right for him to throw an "A Game" set, thats why almost every set he threw down at space miami was great, because it was experienced crowd of clubbers, a legendary club, and a great vibe. a club in atlanta, ohio, north carolina, tennessee, texas, is almost assuredly 75% trance virgens who want to hear the Just Be cheese tracks and Traffic as if those tracks are the paragon of EDM productions, when in actuallity they suck. u can often read on the tiesto forums, where legions of clueless noobs post they were mad when tijs didnt drop 'traffic or LCA' as if tiesto let them down. most of us diehard fans would be overjoyed he ditched those played out tunes for the nite, but not the noobs, which is who is playing for these days. most of his gigs are at new locations, cites, and venues=hi noob factor=sub par sets+the over touring.
not trying to come off as an arrogant prick, but some of you really dont look at all the angles. tiesto hasnt really lost it; the sound has changed, his crwod demographic has changed, and the venues has changed. basically tiesto is a victim of his own success, too big too fast. i really think he is returning back to form that he had before he won those 2nd and 3rd #1 awards. at least he is experimenting with new sounds which is refreshing, he is not stuck in the generic sounds of progtrance like AVB. well its been fun, but school is out kids
