I've given up. I even sent him a letter, which I got no response. The internet is curiously void of any memorabilia and besides these three pictures, are the only thing that's attached to the event.
I sort of have two opinions on the matter though. One is, he lied and the gig never happened, and two, who cares, it was a great set, the music was phenomenal and so it is what it is. Which is more important, the music, or his-story.
| quote: | Dear Paul Oakenfold,
I have been a big fan of yours for many years. In fact, when I'd come home at night after raving I'd pop in one of your mixes from across the globe and get lost in a State of Trance. Its been memorable to say the least. I've traveled to numerous shows and over the years grown accustomed to hearing you spin some of the greatest Trance sets ever, including the 2003 "Live" Great Wall Set- to which many establishments have credited you with and one you indicate was such a memorable experience. Recently I was marking several of the most historic sets in Trance History. One of which being Tiësto's gig at the Beijing Olympics, and another, Armin van Buuren spinning for the newly coroneted King of the Netherlands, King Williem Alexander. All of which were historic occasions and can be fully documented with either flyers, photographs or videos. What struck me as peculiar however was, when trying to commemorate your momentous occasion, the interwebz was strangely absent of any of these things which ultimately piqued my curiosity. I was interested if you had any personal video or photographs from your 4.19 rainy night gig on the Great Wall and whether you could share with us more of your experience. I would really appreciate your help.
Your Friend, |
