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... |
You're a dumbass. Where does the dj mag poll say vote for the best skilled, talented, dj? It is to vote for your favorite dj. If you're gonna nit-pick everything, stay home. I saw the Crystal Method do a dj set the other night and they ed up left and right but it was still fun. Forget about waiting to hear nisnatches and trainwrecks and go enjoy the show as if it were you're first event. |

Me too.
Nothing against the guy, as a matter of fact I enjoy the latest ISOS. And if he were to play a club close by I would be there tonight.
It's just events like this don't interest me.
I go for the music . . . not the trapeze. |

I really enjoyed TIC! The crowd, the vibe, hangin out with people I know, the music, the performers (singers, drum beaters, chicks on ropes... did I miss anything?) the visuals and pretty much every thing was sweet!
I have no complaints anymore, well except that it ended way too soon. The whole show/concert made me forget how disorganized the lines were to get in but once in, I was sporting this -> :D all night.
Would I go again? Yes I would, most definitely.

I right there with ya on this one!
On a different note, I didnt see anyone allllllllll night. Well, actually I ran into someone I never thought I would see...Dave Dean. I hope I wasnt too f'ed up. lol |

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. |
You're ing retarded.
This is the number one DJ in the world...not some bedroom guy who just got his first gig...
Christ...now wanting to hear a good DJ means you're killing the scene what the have we come to... |

i have no say to who should vote who as #1 DJ. do whatever you wish.
my problem is that when so much is made of these people, they overcharge. isn't this the same tiesto plays for $20-$30 at colorado and san diego? people are already talking about plans for TIC NYE. i am guessing these are likely vampire promoters, but for the same price, you can find much better entertainment.
it may seem like we are analyzing him too much. if i go out for a dancing, i would not care what dj is doing as long as he plays something that does not bother me. of course, i won't pay $70. if somebody has a tag that says #1 and charges twice other djs, he better be doing well for that #1 stands for. if tiesto loses #1 title, let's see how many he can draw even if he puts the same show.
if he was truely #1, there would not be a problem critisizing him. in the meantime, if we nitpick, none of the djs is any good, especially the self-proclaimed ones on this forum are crap. |

My review.
We arrived at 8:15pm. To our surprise, the line was super long. I guess with what we paid, and a venue the size of this, we assumed there would be more than ONE entrance to handle everyone arriving at the same time. We got in about 15 after 9.
After plenty of pre-party drinks at the hotel, and now standing in line for almost an hour, at this point, we both needed to use the rest room in mean way. And this is something I can’t believe no one has mentioned in their reviews. Was it not INSANE that there was just ONE bathroom on the lower level? (NOT counting the bathrooms in the VIP area – since most people did not have access to that area.) Is it just me, or is that CRAZY!!?!! So we went from standing in one line for almost an hour, immediately into another line for another 15 minutes. Poor girls had it even worse!
It’s been mentioned that there were close to 10,000 people at the show. At least 8,000 (guessing) of those had to have been general admission floor/non-vip – and to have ONE bathroom. I just don’t see how that is even legal, with fire code rules and what not.
Anyway, this meant that we missed the very beginning of the show (Tiesto’s introduction) – which was a big bummer. :/
I guess maybe a reason it hasn’t been mentioned by anyone else, is because once we were in, and had used the bathroom, and made our way into the arena, the atmosphere and music made us forget about the bad line experiences.
We had and AWESOME time. We had really been looking forward to this for a while, and Tiesto and his show did not disappoint us.
The sound was excellent. The circus folk were ‘interesting’. The lighting and rigging were incredible. The crowd was great. So many people jumping up and down in unison – so into the music. Definitely, GOOD TIMES. And Tiesto… he was a lot harder and faster than I expected, but that’s not a bad thing. Yes, he had a couple moments when I kind of cringed at the beat-matching, but it wasn’t anything horrible. The stopping of the music between sessions or whatever I could have done without, but again, it didn’t ruin it for me. I loved how he played some music I didn’t know, and even loved it better that he played some music that I DO know.
My favorite parts of the show were Love Comes Again, Just Be, As The Rush Comes, and the finale with all the confetti. The BEST part for me, was when he played Suburban Train. In general, the place was going ape- all night – which was awesome, and totally enhanced the experience… but when he played that song, the place literally exploded! (Plus, its my favorite Tiesto song – so I might be a little bias on that one.)
This was a first for me as far as events of this “concert” type… but I almost didn’t leave the same spot on the dance floor all night. The drink lines were to long, and I didn’t want to miss any of “the show” – so I ended up just getting lemonade whenever I wanted anything to drink (since there were no lines for that). I ended up drinking 1 vodka redbull, and 3 lemonades and came back to the hotel with tons of cash, which I normally would have dropped on booze.
Couple other things notable. For an all ages event, very few kiddies showed up. Guess maybe the price tag kept them away for the most part. Second – BOY was there a lot of eye-candy at this thing. When I wasn’t entranced by the music/show, I was admiring someone beautiful dancing next to me.
I’d do it again in a heartbeat, and hope we get something like this again. :D |
