For the Detroit party - I just have to say it was worth the 4-hour drive (one-way)
Got there way early, so I had prime parking right around the corner from the entrance. Bellied up at the State Bar until showtime. Talked a couple nice people and watched Dallas lose (yay).
I should've expected this, but "doors open at 9" NEVER means doors open at 9. Doors opened at 9:20 after I lost feeling in my ears and my teeth were pushed back into my gums - the wind and cold that night were just brutal. Thank God the place wasn't "pre-cooled" in anticipation of the crowd...nice and warm.
Marcus' set was cool, a nice warmup - sorry, I can't ID tracks to save my life. If it sounded good, it sounded good....if it didn't, well, I got over it, heh.
KT's set, however, got the main floor halfway packed, though the open space wasn't totally open - people were out there having a good time. I liked every track he played and transitions? I couldn't tell where one track ended and another began.
When Tiesto took the tables, though, the main floor turned into a crush. I was down there in the thick of it for a while, but damn, no room to move = suckage, so I backed out. I'm not going to hate, his set was good, too, and overall it looked like people were enjoying themselves - which is the point of it all, right? IIRC he saved all of "his" productions until the end - Love Comes Again, Heroes, Lethal Industry, and of course Adagio for Strings.
Afterparty at Masonic Temple was awesome - dark, thumpin', full and active but not crowded. Was great but for one thing....SMOKE...ugh (this is why I am glad Columbus banned smoking!) Eyes and head just couldn't take it anymore so I headed out, bout 5am. Didnt even make it out of Michigan before I stopped to eat a real breakfast and take a nap...lol, woke up at 4:30 pm...I'm getting too old for this...
Overall good time, worth the time and money spent, but only once. I'll stick to shows in smaller clubs - George Acosta @ Metropolis (Cleveland) still my favorite show of the past year. |

Omega_Blue: At the show, there were 2 huge screens (about 50% the size of a movie theater screen I guess) and 2 on the dj booth.
On the screens while Tiesto was mixing, like "Inspiration", "Memories", and various other GAY poems were put up there.
It was gay as hell. I was embarassed to even have told my friends about it at that point. He went way off the deep end with "art" and created a visual trainwreck. |

| If that was at Detroit, I didn't see it...I didn't look at the screens much at all. when I did, though, I mostly saw "The Sound of Tiesto" swirling around, or the words to "Love Comes Again", or some nature scenes - sunsets and the like. |
