| has Tiesto ever played Toronto before esp. Guverment...im a newbie to this whole scene so please dun mind the question...anyways i wouldnt mind hearing him spin live there :-D too bad his 10 hour concerts are only abroad as of now xP (may 10 2003) i heard that was SIIICK. I mean, yeah I know a lot of ppl think he's sold out or is not as good as back in the day but he still has his moments |

He's been to Toronto 6 or 7 times in the last 4 years, his most recent gig was in June at the Docks. He'll be back again sometime in the Spring, most likely June.
He doesn't really like the Guvernment. |

i think that's about right.... i don't think he's a big fan of Toronto like most other major club cities.
edit: one of my buddies went to his dec gig and she didn't enjoy it too much...
I was underaged by a couple of weeks for the Docks gig but i heard the set. It was a nice set specially coming out of Tiesto.. kinda rare to hear a good set by him as of late. |

I heard his first Toronto gig was at the Guvernment in the summer of 2000 in the main room. The place was half full, the cover was 10 bucks and nobody knew who the hell he was except for a few diehard fans. Maybe this was the August 2001 gig? But no...Tiesto was huge by 2001.
What I would have given to have been at that gig when it was half full.......a Tiesto gig will NEVER EVER be like that again.
And Rocco, it's not that he's not a big fan of Toronto...he wrote on his headphones at the Docks set that "Tiesto (heart) T.O." and has said in interviews that he loves Canada. But he doesn't like the Guvernment. This frat guy I know worked in a cafe in Ibiza in the summer (frats have connections damn them) and Tiesto came in for a drink one day. So this this fratty talked with him, snapped a few pics. Apparently, Tiesto said he hates the Guvernment and the owner, but loves the atmosphere of the Docks.
Interesting little story anyway....and there's probably truth in it. |

yes .. you're right. i stand corrected, it was AUGUST 2000. I was even there ! LOL..
and yeah it's true .. the club was about 3/4 full that night and only about half the ppl there knew who he was. I was close to not getting in as well since i was a few dollars short of cover but a friend managed to get us on the reduced list. i didn't even have money for a drink (back in the poorer days).
Anyhow, the party was awesome .. his set was unbelievable. basically dropped 85% of the same stuff as his Innercity 2000 set. It was funny cuz when we first got in we saw some bald guy on the decks and thought it was Tiesto , but i actually think now that it was a bald MArk Oliver. lol.. Anyways , they also had this guy playing a precussion set on some electronic drums which was REALLY cool. By the end of the night, there were liquid dancers came out laying it all out beneath the glow of some blacklights (which don't exist anymore). This was all back in the day when Guv still had a "rave" like crowd..
anyways .. all in all again a great party and just glad that i had a chance to witness a set like that! classic!

you weren't impressed with his June gig at the Docks? Even Tiesto in Concert? You must be hard to please. |
