Alright I woke up...sort of :p Still buzzing from last night OMG - MAGIK MUZIK - and 7 Hours of it :crazy:
So the day was going so slow - studying thinking come on - "is it time go go yet..." Finally it was time, left the house at around 9:15 - got to the docks at around 9:45 - couldn't believe how long the line ALREADY was :eyespop: the doors were still closed and the line just kept growing and growing. Finally around 10:10 doors were open and we could hear some sweet beats coming from inside the club - I guess once they opened the doors the crowd movement was pretty quick. Met with Kurfew and tha broad just before going in :D
Walked inside the club and...got a free Rev - very nice :D I was liking it already. The coat check line was INSANE but since we got there early it was at least manageable although I thought it was a rip off - $15 for parking and $3 for coat check :p
Anyays walked in started seeing pretty much everyone randomly in the coat check line, took some pictures hung out with the TAs - Shawn Miller was VERY VERY impressive I really enjoyed his set, seriously GOOOD work! :thepirate
Got together for the TA meetup at around 11:30 I guess as scheduled but I think most people were still in line so not too many showed up - either way we had some shots and a nice "tour" as Pett metioned - thanks to techhead ;) Thanks a lot for that!!!
At around 12 we were waiting for Tiesto in front of where he was supposed to come in - RJ, myself, and the rest of the TOTA massive around but we got totally shut down by the "bouncer" - he just shut down all the curtains on us so that was a shame - but as soon as I realized it was a lost cause I just jumped right in the centre of the dancefloor. OOOMMMMGGGG it was SOOOO PACKED!!! :crazy: :eyes: People were seriously not moving cause it was insane - Nat joined me for a bit, took some pics and had to get out lol. :toothless
Tiesto came on at about 12:30 if I'm not mistaken - people went insaaaaane (which is always fun to see). He opened with WOW - Killa which has this looooong intro so it was great. By the way that cold compressed air thing from the ceiling was great - reminds me of that show "the club" hehehe - really cooled the place down when it needed it. The set started off proggy - a bit slow but by the 3rd song he progressively increased the pace and the bpms. I'd have to agree with Pett about the mixer usage - absolutely crazy work with that :crazy: :eyespop: I pretty much stayed in the centre the whole time with a little walking around to take pictures. The set was amazing really, probabbly one of the best - and unlike last time at the Guv where he seemed obviously tired and not into it, he was on fire tonight - doing all his usual dancing, moving, clapping, flying and etc - I love watching him do it - kinda makes the whole experience even better and pumps you up - the crowd loved it too. :D:happy2: He saw me and my shirt when the crowd cleared up a bit towards the middle-end of the night and he kept smiling about it hehe - I figured he probabbly remembers me anyhow but it was still fun getting the thumbs up and such. At the end RJ and I were jumping together and he noticed us and "waved at us" I guess (not even sure how to call it lol) - so that was pretty awesome as well.
I still can't believe he played for 7 hours - I mean that was just so impressive :crazy: He chilled at the booth for a while after his set - I went to see if I can catch a flyer but once I saw people almost killing for them I decided it's not worth it cause I don't want to look like this after :toothless
After we got our coats back he was still in the booth and everyone almost left - so I ran up and screamed "TIEEESSOOOO" lol he turned around all smiling and I said thank you - you're the best...lol...he was really happy hehe that bastard though...I still can't get to meet him lol. Aaaahhh anyway so that was the night...really really amazing - we got our own little Tiesto in Concert minus all the magic shows :p
And ITM is not a joke :whip: Hehehe...I'm working my ass off and I'm in coop as well...besides my 2 exams aren't even ITM courses (tomorrow) - But I knew that Tiesto will be in town so I planned my studying accrordingly ;) ;) It's all about time management hehe. And to the person who asked if I was a skinny guy taking pictures with my cell phone - no that wasn't me. :happy2: Although it was funny when in the crowd some couple asked me to take a picture of them and then asked for my e-mail address - and then the guy goes :eyespop: :eyes: "You are...starsearcher...THE STARSEARCHER...:eyes: " hahahaha :haha: :haha: :stongue: :stongue: that was just too funny lol...Anyways...back to work ;) Good morning for those who are just waking up hehe |

ya, I would say between 4-7:30 was my favorite part of his set. Some really good classics towards the end of the night.
Did he play Airforce One - Igor S?? (It would have been between 6:00-7:30am)
I had also noticed that he played a few breaks last night, which I don't ever recall hearing these in sets that I have seen prior to last evening. Maybe I'm wrong:conf: |

LOL. I knew it! I didn't think I heard Intruder and I asked my friend if he played Pound but she wasn't 100% sure! This has been updated. :) |

Ahh, Thanks :)
I haven't heard the CD and those songs (Breda 8pm, Euphoria,Heroes etc...) other then watching the Olympics and hearing some last night.
Was that the only breaks track? I could have sworn I heard more than just one.... |

Tiesto was a good 6-7 hours of solid tunes. I had never seen Tiesto live before, and seeing all the hype (and some people's distaste too) made me go in without too much expectation. Honestly - I wasn't disapointed in his performance at all! I liked how he got hard towards the middle of his set with some techno-ish tracks, then would go back into trance. I was dancing throughout the entire set! Hearing him belt out some classics such as Yahel - Voyage & Gouryella - Gouryella were memorable. It's great trainspotting classic tunes for the first time in a club!! :D
The Docks was looking awesome. The venue was very packed from 11 pm to 4 AM, so I just hung around with some TAs at the left-front corner of the DJ booth. Effin' A - you guys are a big part of my party experience! The coat check was terrible, and I ended up not checking my jacket when I got into the overcrowded coatcheck room.
The Tiesto fandemonium didn't impress me in the end with thier aggressive grabbing of the autographed stuff - i've never seen that in EDM in my whole partying experience. However, the crowd was full of raw energy. I did manage to grab an autograph'd flyer amongst the other crazed fans though & left The Docks at 8 AM.
Overall a great night. |
