WOW! WOW! WOW!
Lets just say this: i give every DJ 3 chances to impress me before they no longer become a priority to see. PvD in Oct was ok. PvD at Bal en Blanc was poor. PvD tonight was INSPIRING!
PvD will always be on my priority list now - because after a glipse of him on his game 100%, I know he has the potential to do it again.
Great evening! Thanks PvD!
Awesome to meet and chat with so many new people. It was awesome to get to know a few more new-ish people much better on a personal level.
TA peoples are the greatest! Always will be, always have been. Love y'all! |

I thought he ripped the kh a new that night!?
So what you're saying is last nights performance was better than this? :eek: :eek: The man is unstoppable.
Tracklists? Did he play 1000 pvd productions again? haha If so, good! The man rocks. |

That night @ KH was my first time seeing him. He didn't live up to the hype that everybody had (or the hype of what I expected).

Exactly. Tonight he blew me away. I was a little leary about his spot on the top100 until tonight.
PvD stopped signing and shook my hand when I (again) yelled out: "Vie gehts Paul? Vie gehts?". |

THE GUV WASN'T PACKED!!!
It was probably only 75% capacity. Uber nice indeed. |

Hope you guys enjoyed this event as much as I did!
Mark Oliver did such a good job on setting things up!
Here is my personal review :
PvD @ Guv 5yr (GUV)- STILL THE BEST SET TORONTO HAD WITNESSED!
PvD @ GUV 7yr (KH) - Good but alittle disspointing
PVD @ GUV - TONIGHT! ING WICKED! 2nd BEST SET!
Flawless track selections(I only remember 2 vocal tracks :)) & mixing was so GRIMME!!! Paul was so focused ... gave him 20/10 for mixing! A blend of old & nu skool TRANCE! Standing behind Paul van Dyk and watching him work the decks ... perfect timing for everything! He only looked at the laptop to select his tracks ... he didn't even bother with digital track graphs on final scratch! I salute you Paul! Outstanding set, and indeed made up for the Guv 7yr set! < --- 1000x better! Great to see all the TOTAz!
Hope to see everyone out to G2 (Global Gathering) & AvB Boat Cruise!
Sincerly,
John
PS.
"CELEBRATION!" <---- LMAO! |

I could be wrong, that voodoo mix sounded like: "Asys - No More in' Rock'n Roll". I totally flipped out when i heard the voodoo sounds! And WTF - i missed da Nrg2Nfinit again!! god damn..
PVD's set was damn good! Totally banging... very proper track selection and mixing. I really enjoyed it.. also managed to get PVDs autograph, whatta cool guy for signing my ticketmaster envelope. w00 MO's opener wasnt bad either.. that was the first time I heard him play trance, not bad at all.
The Guv wasn't too packed, i had good dancing room thruout the night. The non-smoking guv kicks ass.
as always.. hello to the TAs i met up and chilled with for most of the night; ken, resnick, alan & his friends, dj ampz, rj, durafei, del (SSVD!! lol nice to finnaly meet you), mr sketchy, max, partegurl.. im missing names.
best night at guv yet! :D :D |

I liked how the guv wasnt packed like it was for Tiesto... lighting/setup was really good, just as it was for Tiesto.
PVD was alright, played bangin tunes, but i would have liked it if he played a bit more of his own stuff.
he played Naranja, which i really liked, cant get enough of that song.
IMO, ferry on march 13th @ is still the party of the year to me :)
I left @ 4am... anyone stay till the end/know how long it went till? |

One of the vocal tracks he played had female lyrics that went: '...just another f*cking love song'- I've heard it b4, but really liked the other mix better. Would like to know what track this is. Also played 'Sosei' (some breaks mix ill can ID), and Mr. Sam- 'Naranja'. Rubyriva can ID the rest of the set. ;)
This was really the most a-typical PVD set I've heard- meaning, he didn't play too many of his own productions (that are overplayed to begin with), nor did he repeat any of his productions multiple times- WAHOO!!
Really thought I'd see more OG's of the TA's there... nice to see the usual, as well as mot10n (lost u in the crowd), wurm (don't leave us, man!!!), Del's gf Sally (who was celebrating her champagne b-day- 24 yrs, baby!), ran into guvaholic, and met Music Snob Not. And, as always, nice to be partying with TheNeonAlien, rubyriva & drizzt81 (the latter 2 who drove up from Syracuse)- so great to reunite, guys! I'm sure I'm missing a few more, so excuse me. ;)
Best part of the night was after we'd left the club, turned the corner and spotted his limo waiting outside for him. Insisted Caryn (rubyriva) stop her car behind it and wait. For those of u who don't know her, she is THE ultimate PVD fan, complete with NY state "VANDIT" license plates. Her only problem is she 'freezes up' any time she's around Paul, and is always at a loss for words. Well, with her 'pushy American broad' friend around, I wasn't gonna let that happen. Within a min, he came out, we got his attention and showed him her plates, which really overwhelmed him. I made sure to tell him how she she's truly his #1 fan, how many times she's seen him (around the world), etc... He was very friendly, posed for a pic with her by the car(I REALLY hope it turns out good!), and now she's off to see him 2ce today in NYC.
Gotta go to work now. Crap.... |
