Tiesto was AWESOME! He went on around 1:15ish and played until 4:45ish. Just got back...my ears are ringing. :D He dropped some awesome tunes... I can't remember half of them at the moment but the ones I do remember are:
DJ Tiesto - adagio for strings
DJ Tiesto - nyana
DJ Tiesto - traffic
DJ Tiesto - forever today
DJ Tiesto - love comes again
Whiteroom - the whiteroom
DJ Ton TB - dream machine
Does anyone have a full tracklisting?

Tijs in rocked tonight. Avalon is WAYYYY to small for him tho, so in hot on the 2nd floor. One funny in part was when tiesto hit the dj who opened before him in the head when the guy started putting his head down inside the booth.
Great way to start my summer... now must sleep a couple of hours before my grad party starts.
By the way, although it took MUCH work, I managed to slip him Sean Tyas' cd. The in lighting guy wouldnt take it for so long because he thoought i was tryin to get an autograph...but finally i got through to him. Couldnt really meet any TA's cuz it was WAY too packed.
Cant wait til Summerstage! |

Avalon was quite an interesting time for me...
First, Jenn (my girlfriend) and I got to the city really quickly, it usually takes me about an hour from where I live, and she lives 20 minutes east of me... but, from her house, we got to NYC in about an hour, we made fantastic time... I thought I was gonna be late - I kept on trying to decide what to wear (do I wear my Tiesto shirt, something fancy, do I wear slacks, etc), cuz even though we both had tix, we didn't want to take the chance.
Got to the city, found a place on 5th and 21st to park... paid the parking charge, then we walk over by 6th and 20th... saw a TON of places we could park for free :P Ugh... Then, before going into the club, we decide to get some food... We walk past Starbucks, some crazy guy runs up to the window there and starts banging on it. We turn around, and it's my old college roommate, Chris! I haven't seen him in a while, but he's from Queens... he was just hanging out in the city and meeting up with his brother at Bar None (a craphole I've been to before with him :P) It's one of the world's largest cities (16th I believe), yet I always run into people I know there!
So, we go to eat with him at a diner, and then I'm out of money... so we parted ways and went back to the car to get some more. The guys at the parking garage put our car up on top, so they had to lower the car. We get the money, go to the club... wait on line for 20 min. I talk to some people, they tell me that Crobar is a lot better than Avalon (which at least is good news, seeing as I haven't been there yet). Then, we get to the front of the line, Jenn tells me she left her ID in the car :P The bouncer wouldn't even let her in, even with the tickets (plus, if you saw some of the girls on the line who looked about 12, Jenn very obviously looks over 18). So, we wait in line for half an hour, get told we can't go in, so we had to go back to my car (again) to get her ID... we got it, and when we got back, the line got a LOT longer... we waited about an hour to get in. They were sending people home without tickets, which I guess was kind of a good thing - since a lot of people wouldn't have took the time to go online to order tickets, so the majority of the audience was Tiesto fans, not a bunch of honky guys and slutty girls from a generic suburb in Jersey going out clubbing in NYC "cuz it's the cool thing to do". One kid behind me on the line said - "I hate it when people go into this club and don't even know who the DJs are". He was dead on.
Finally, we got in, with no problem at all once Jenn had her ID. The guy who sent her away before actually remembered her when he was checking IDs... he was like, okay, I see you got your ID. We had no trouble with the bouncers at all. We got into Avalon, and headed for the bathroom. The place looked pretty cool, a giant converted church, with a ton of nooks and crannies. One of the bathroom was pretty cool, with guys and girls rooms looking kind of like cubicles, with a common area filled with fancy looking metallic sinks. There was even a girl DJing, playing housey stuff, in that bathroom.
We get out to the balcony, and caught Eddie Lee at the end of his set... heard him play Girls Can Be Cruel by Infusion, then Tiesto came on, and the place went WILD!
You can tell that a lot of the people in the audience were (thankfully) Tiesto fans... The place had a decent vibe to it (which I was scared that it wasn't, that was by far my biggest fear). The crowd was chanting TI-ES-TO! and screaming and the bottom level was going wild, it looked like the Zion rave in Reloaded down there :D We found a fantastic vantage point... in the lower right corner of the balcony level, right up against the railing. We got a great view of Tiesto, sure we couldn't make out his face detail very well from that far back, but we could see him changing records and dancing around. Tiesto seemed much more into it than when he came to the Roxy last year, he was dancing, using his records like a fan, all that fun stuff he does :) He played a great set, filled with a classic trance vibe (I thought I heard one or two techno tracks in there, by the time we left). He played a LOT of stuff off Just Be, which is good, since I was familiar with a good amount of the songs he played.
After the (unbearable) heat took its toll on us, we decided to move around the club a bit, we found a nice chill spot on like the third floor, and hung out a bit there. The Spider Club I think it was called. There was also a room that had this black ribbed cushions that surrounded the whole room, with glowing multicolored lights on a white background for the wall. You could get bottles of wine and there, but alcohol bottles went anywhere from $250 - $1000. We wanted to order something really expensive, and not pay :P
The place has a bunch of nooks and crannies, small rooms where you can't see anything, but it's really cool and you actually get an air flow... We got lost a couple of times going back and forth :P Then we went back to the balcony, as Tiesto started playing Nyana, Forever Today, and some other great songs - very emotional, epic trance. Classic Tiesto. The place was in an absolute frenzy... I told Jenn, when would you ever see the crowd that absorbed into the . So yeah, the vibe was a LOT better than I thought, I was totally getting into it too and she had a good time as well. The only other club she went to with me was Danny Howells at Arc, and this was a lot different in terms of audience participation and music style.
So yeah, about 4:45 we both took off, we weren't too tired, but I still had to drive all the way back to Farmingville, then back to my house in Nesconset. And our feet started to hurt like hell. We both wore shoes :P
Overall, Avalon was an okay clubbing experience, I doubt I'd go back, unless there was a big DJ with presale tickets, so for the most part, true fans would be there. The place was extremely hot and extremely crowded - people kept on bumping into me when I was on the balcony. Nobody gave me any attitude and just left me alone, I didn't really interact with too many people at the club, we just minded our own business, but the ones I interacted with seemed like they knew their stuff - i.e. talking about how fantastic Sander was last night at Crobar, how they liked the album, their favorite Tiesto sets downloaded off the net, etc. Tiesto was utterly fantastic - mixing left a bit to be desired at some parts, but other times, he was flawless.... He was really into it, playing straight up quality trance, no beating around the bush at all. Probably the second best out of the 3 times I've seen him (nothing will quite top Area 2 for me though).
Alright, soon I guess it's time to check out Crobar!

| Keep the reviews coming. So far all the stories meet my expectations - he played close to 4 hours. Only ticketholders got in. It was immensely fire hazard crowded. The club was nice. The crowd was meh, but people had a good time. :D |
