Greetings,
I thought the last 30-40mins of his set was great, the first part was kinda plain. The crowd mostly a sausage fest :conf: ,where were the ladies? The cryo with the foil was a nice touch, Maxdady25- I got a pic of one of the girls dancing onstage(blonde)- I`ll post later.
This was my second time at the Amphitheater, first was Tiesto
a couple months ago and that was a great night! We need to have Tiesto back! |

| i only heard the last half of the set and from what i heard, he was playing some nice tracks. as far as ultra goes, oakenfold is good every other year. last year he sucked, the year before he played one of the most memorable ultra sets i have ever had. when he was chugging the big bottle of belvedere and they had those visuals going intot he world trade centers. |

he may have played better tunes then last year but I still say he was a joke. he literally trainwrecked every mix and it was just BLAH.
I don't think Oakenjoke will ever amaze me or redeem himself from where he's gone. just my .02 cents. :thepirate |

oakey now can be summed up in one word: bunka
if i was him i'd have that pulled from every music store shelf in the world so people never found out i made it
but on a lighter note, the ultra set 2 years ago was OTC. i can still remember when he dropped ian brown - fear. really good right there. |

I was most impressed by Oakenfold's set last night. I've seen him on numerous occassions including last year when he came here before WMC but last night was by far his best performance yet. I was hoping that he would play his retro-Oakey style kinda like his Tranceport 3 album. And that's exactly what he did. There were 2 DJs who opened for him. The guy right before him sucked ass. He played alot of progressive stuff hovering around 90 BPM which almost put me to sleep if I hadn't drank my usual red bull/vodka. However the guy before him rocked!! He played nothing but good melodic trance. I loved his set!! He should have continued spinning instead of letting the other guy come on. Then Oakey comes on with his long hair at around 12 am or 1230 am. Didn't really check my watch. Every single track he played was awesome!! His set was nothing short of amazing. The club wasn't packed like it normally is when a big name DJ comes here. It was crowded still but there was room to dance on the rotating floor. Although it was mostly a sausage fest, I didn't really care because the music was phenomenal. As a result my legs feel like jello today from dancing non-stop last night. I can't ID his entire set but I did recognize a few. Some of them were:
Tiesto - Traffic
PPK - Ressurrection
One of the tracks from Magik 6: 69 - 69 Ways (I think)
A PVD track which sounded like Angel (not sure)
If anyone can ID the rest of his set, I'd greatly appreciate it. He played alot of beautiful vocal trance, much to my delight, which raised hairs on my body. Someone should have recorded his set last night because it was truly one of the best trance sets I've ever heard. I'm not even exaggerating. His set at AMP last year couldn't even be compared to this one. Night and day. I'm so glad he decided to go back to his roots. I don't think I could ever grow tired of that style of music. Melodic Epic Uplifting Beautiful Trance.
I didn't see many TAs there but I figured all of you saw him at WMC or Ultra last week. Suzy Solar was there and was dancing with some hot chick on stage at the end of the night. They both looked hot!! Don't ask me why I didn't snap a pic of that. I'm an idiot. The only complaint I have about last night was that they should have released the cryo a few more times. It was only used twice but it was used at the right time. Love that thing!! And to think, I almost didn't go because I was afraid his set would resemble last year's. |
I only have ID for the first track Oakie played, which was his remix of my track "ocean of love." I wasn't even there to hear it. I drove in from Miami late and got drunk, danced with some hot chicks onstage, and forgot to remember what tracks were being played. Oakie handed me his headphones during his set to let me hear his remix of my track and said that he also opened with it at Ultra. I'm trying to find anyone who has video (or even pics) during my track at any of these shows. it would be much appreciated. i will even give someone a bunch of free unreleased cds for a video. i'm desperate.
much love,
suzy |

yep oakey is done, he is not into it anymore and from what i have been reading in mixmag, hes quitting dance and coming out with a rock album with his band (da album is done already) and we r never gonna hear from him again, its that simple... o wait my bad, im sure we'll hear some gay movie soundtracks from him like shrek 3 or bull like that :mad: it wasover for him after 2000 |

Oakenfold and I have the same problem with our current jobs. As long as they keep paying us, we keep showing up but are unattatched to the outcome either way. :) |
