i had a lot of fun. omg when he played the as the rush comes i went M E N T A L! i was so happy he played old stuff like mindcirus, southern sun, eugina and lethal industry. i was laughing so hard when he came out on to the stage and started dancing. right when tom and i decided to leave he dropped urban shakedown and i was so upset cause i was waiting for him to play that all night :(
i kinda regretted leaving my camera in my bag because i was all the way up in the front and i could have gotten some really decent pics if i kept it with me, but once i was up there i didn't want to go back and get it.
noel sangers set kicked asssssssssss. i died so hard when he played delerium - after all (satoshi tomiie mix) and telepopmusik - breathe (markus schulz mix). eeeeeeeeeeeee
it was nice to see the few of you that i saw (you guys know who you are :))
the only thing i didn't like was the crowd... lots of sweaty guidos with no shirts on pushing everyone, bleh :rolleyes: |

I may repeat some things people have said, but I would like to offer my take on this "performance" (I use that term lightly). So, since I am more of a PVD fan, the crowd right off the bat was different. I am only 26, but the crowd seemed very young and not to mention very messed up on a host of drugs. Some kid was going around telling me and all my friends he took six pills (by 12:00); and people wonder why clubbers die of extacy!
Tiesto came on at 2ish and was lost at the decks. He had a "special" set up and was using what looked like more of a studio mixing board than the traditional RANE or UREI. So, his opener was not very impressive. As the show went on, he dropped some bombs and showed that he really knew how to use a Phaxon sounds sytem. His mixing was on point for much of the night. His transitions were interesting, mixing in more onthe highs than the lows, then dropping heavy beats in to finish it off. He was having a great time smiling at the crowd and being very animated. The one thing, among many, that I moticed is that he was constantly talking to the people behind him in the booth. His concentration seemed to shy away from the crowd that was begging to be floored. He would then return to the decks, mix a few tracks, then turn to talk to some girls or his manager, or someone. At the end of the night, he almost looked drunk, kicking cups arond the booth. For his mixing, he seemed to get very lazy. He would mix out of a build up and not finish it off. His track selection didn't seem to have much flow. He didn't really kep it driving. His track selection as a whole really didn't shy away from his sets over the last few months. Not very experimantal and definately didn't play anything that was new and amazing.
The kicker was his closing and departure. Instead of finishing up with something jaw dropping, he played three tracks within a 7 minute time frame and just emotionlessly took his headphones off and let Noel Sanger back to the deck to take over. No farewell track, no encore, no big build up. He didn't turn up the system for the last half hour to really give us some #1 DJ the world closing. He then took the stage and shook some hands before he walked out through the club and took off.
I thought he was realy cocky as well as not into the crowd. His animatin in the booth was for show as far as I am concerned. I don't like harping on the #1 DJ thing, but when you play at a big club, with a booming sound system, you need to bring your A game. Give us something that is going to merrit that status. If he is voted #1 due to his PR, marketing and vocalist selection then I would take PVD at #4 for as long as music is around. PVD comes to NYC to tear the roof off and in my opinion, he delivers all the time. He is stoic behind the decks and really gets into the heads of his listeners. Tiesto was not the most impressive. I liked his music, I am at trance DJ and tracne phanatic...ao, of course I will like it. He does have a good sound, but the performance and delivery were lacking. |

| Well, it would have been a better night if I would have found you guys( I only saw Aya Brea, Thomasdatt and briefly talked to Enigma T and Kling Klang) but it was an ok night, anyhow. I was so elated when I heard Eugina:) It was nice hearing Strange World, Taub, and Adagio For Strings( although I prefer the Ferry mix). I don't know, last time he was at Roxy it was better, imho. |

I agree, but then again, everyone has their bad nights. No one can possibly give an A performance every time they perform, even when they are #1. ;) |

ok, i usually back tiesto from any bashing, but for some reason it really bugged me that he didnt play no encore nor saying bye to his fans that was there to support him....man i think my fears are coming true...tiesto having a tragic and unfortunate ending like oakey....fame can really get to your head sometimes:sadgreen: :sadgreen: i just hope my fears are not true but what happened friday night, unfortunately my heart tells me that this is whats going to become of tiesto:rolleyes: i mean his music is still GREAT AND STILL TAKES ME ON A MAGIK JOURNEY, BUT THE PERSON IS NOT THE SAME...maybe he was having a bad night who knows??????? |
