Okay...so I was invited into Tiesto while waiting to flyer the exit.
HIGHLIGHT of the night...
...walking into Tiesto at 11:20pm
...first mix...
...ohh...its going off...
...ohh adjust the platter Tijs!
...aohh noo....ahhh...uhh...ohhh yuck!
Nice one Mr. #1
The number one DJ in the ing world cannot beat match two records at a show thrown specifically for HIM and HIM only...with the BEST ing setup he could come up with for himself to play on.
Tiesto is a god damn ing joke and now I know it from FIRST HAND experience. What the hell happened to the guy who had passion behind the decks in 2002?
The setup was quite nice...not as impressive as TiC's in Amsterdam, but still better than anything we've seen here.
The lighting was alright but many lights were out of sync, and it seemed to have trouble following the music. Avalon's lighting > TiC LA
I can't really comment on the sound since I never went to the front of the floor, but it sounded very good although the highs seemed a little over saturated.
Tiesto played some good tracks, in fact the tracklisting is really not too bad...
..but...
INTERMISSION with ing acrobatics and pre-recorded music in the middle of a "set"..
What the ing hell?
Why not just have a damn monkey up there pushing play on good tracks, since thats all Tiesto hasgoing for himself at the moment (track selection).
And then...after the intermission and the dancers...(cool but I go to concerts for the music/headliner)...
Tiesto does one good mix...and then...fades out of the next track...lets the crowd cheerhim on...pushes play and fades into the next track.
This happened MORE than once.
A little later, I heard the beats going off again (confirmed by two other DJ's with me)...going more off...thewn ooo the entire trainwreck to be fades out...
....and the he BLASTS in the track he had mis-beat matched.
I'm sorry this is just ing RIDICULOUS.
THE NUMBER ONE ING DJ IN THE WORLD....
...CANT BEATMATCH.
REGARDLESS of me liking trance vs. prog...
...you cannot deny the fact that he just...cannot...ing...MIX.
Which is a damn DISGRACE for someone who is supposed to be #1 in the world...I.E. SKILLED, I.E. PROFFESIONAL, I.E. FLAWLESS
Its not like he had one or two ups...okay...I up on Ableton too...it can happen.
Tiesto just had mixing accross the board for the entire time I was in there 11:20 -> 1am
He'sa joke...plain and simple...it tranceds whatever genre you're into...hes just NOT a good DJ anymore...and he DOESNT ING CARE.
We watched him sit there with his top of the line sound setup and system, as the beats drifted off...and he sat there smiling...without laying a FINGER on the platter...
This is just NOT acceptable for the #1 DJ in the world...
I wouldnt even place him in the top 50.
And to those arguing about who can pull more people...personally...I don't ing care. I don'tgo see a DJ based on how many people they can pull...Britney Spears can fill a Stadium...but she still sucks...
So baisically...huge dissapointment...and I was hoping that he would redeem himself... |

Tiesto is doing his TIC tour in the US around the time that the voting starts for DJ Mag. He will get #1 again. Simple as that. Perfect timing. |
and you needed to take a to realise that??????
OMG. |

| Haha I love these guys trying to listen to every mix to find something they don't like. You know, those guys that stand together at the bar waiting for the next screwup and then have a moment together. After Clovis post it just hit me: These ppl are the NERDS of the party. They forgot or never realised that a party is to enjoy the music, dance and interact with new ppl. The killing of the scene they so fiercely claim is done by themselves. Not the DJ trying to entertain the crowd. Why don't you nerds just stay home together and listen to livesets. |

How can you enjoy the music when you've heard so much better than poorly beat matched cross fades?
Wait, wait, wait, I meant to say...

so...how long was TIC spinning for? TIC is supposed to be four hours in the USA right?
...hmm trying to figure out at this moment whether i should attend TIC in DC when he comes October 21...i haven't REALLY gone to a Tiesto event since May 2003 in NYC and even that one wasn't so great...i would go though, just for the experience of it not being in a club |

Let's put this into perspective. $200 (roughly the downpayment on a Yugo if it were still around) for a ticket to see the trapeez, or $15 to go see a local dj spin tracks you HAVEN'T heard BETTER than the number one dj in the world.
OMG TEH BUNNY BEATS OF TIESTOCLES! |

If they were given a large scale production at the level of tiesto in concert it would be interesting to see what they could do, but pulling a bigger crowd in North America would be a challenge. |
I doubt they would sacrifice their reputation by throwing some clowns and contortionists on stage just to sell a few more tickets, but that's just my opinion. |

I told a few people there aouldn't be that many in attendance. All you had to do was search for tickets on www.ticketmaster.com and there were plenty. Hopefully godskitchen learns something and lowers the damn prices. |
