What is it with Armin playing remixes of terrible pop songs? Last year he played that Apologize song and now this. I mean, I at least semi-enjoyed Ferry's remix of The Killers Human, but some songs just aren't trance songs.

The sad thing though Zach...that's probably when the crowd got the most excited/pumped.

That is extremely sad. lol. I'm not too surprised though.

Yep =/

I wonder if anyone else thought Chakalaka's Time Gate was epic though...man I love Arnej's remix of Time Gate. Mashup'd with Chakalaka...

I hope Markus bangs that track out too.

Originally posted by ZeeRobot1 I ended up deciding to go at like midnight so i got there and caught most of armins set pretty good raged it with some friends good times sound system in there sounded somewhat better anyone else notice ?

I thought you were skipping out on zee cheese trance...

It was an AWESOME set though! I loved it! Such a good balance of all types of trance. I'm glad he didn't play too much uplifting. Great night.

i thought it was hella fun too! very intense... i danced my ass off.

regarding the jesus pose... alright, in a previous post about markus, i went on record defending the jesus pose. but after seeing armin, i realized that yes, the jesus pose, just like anything else, can become a little played out.

don't get me wrong, i thought the night as a whole was insanely fun. having said that, it was hard not to notice the formula armin seemed to stick with for dropping his tracks... build up, jesus pose, everybody hands-in-the-air, wait for it, more jesus pose, wait-FOR-it, BOOM big drop, crowd goes wild, and then basically repeat from there. i wish he would have had a few lesser moments of that cycle, and just kept the crowd humming without necessarily doing so much fan fare.

although, i mean the crowd was responding to it, hell i was too, but i thought to myself when it was happening... "man, i just wish that he could transition without the formulaic jesus pose, everybody hands in the air, etc. each and every time he was dropping bombs.

Here are my vids from the night! It's one video compilation split into three parts.

nice vids!

Thanks!

I had much trouble trying to post.... non the less. Hi I thought I would introduce my self. I am Sarah, I too was at this show. I have to say that since I began attending shows at 1150/ Opera since 2003 and the problems that many complained about is not new. I have been there on MANY occasions where sweaty big guys have been rubbing all up on me being wasted. I am a little girl so that really makes me uncomfortable. This year I knew that I wanted no complications so I upgraded to the VIP. I have to say WOW, it was an incredible experience. I was able to talk with Armin for a minute before his set and get him autograph. The tracks that he played were great. There was no room to even breath. He was so on fire. I loved it when he stood on top of the booth, that might have been a highlight of the evening. I have to say that getting only one track in for the encore is WEAK SAUCE... I blame this FULLY on the club. I have to say that Opera is a nice club but that is not why I go out, I go out to see the DJ's. Having a nice couch to sit on means nothing to me... I don't sit at shows. I have to say hi to Trey. I met you at Armin and I joined... so here I am. Hope ya'll are as excited for Markus Schulz as I am. Rank 1 is going to be sick.
