It was fun, but honestly Matt Darey and Judge Jules were better.. especially Jules :) |
No way :p Those 2 were typical club sets like we see weekend after weekend :rolleyes: Tiësto was a full arena spectacle seen only a couple of times a year :eyes: Judge Jules wasn't anywhere as good as he last was in Spundae (L.A.)'s main room :( |

Since I went to TIC-LA in August also, guess a comparison between these two TIC events would be good:
- Got there around 9 p.m., expecting mile-long lines and massive security like there was for TIC-LA. It was raining, windy and cold, but was so incredibly easy to walk from my hotel room in the Orleans right down the hallway into the Arena, never had to go outside! Then just showed my ticket and was inside in seconds. Was much more crowded inside at that time, probably since thousands of fans weren't waiting outsided to get in like in LA.
- The bars never close! I love Las Vegas! :tongue3 Any drink ordered with Red Bull was $5 more though, but they did give you the rest of the can...was a real effort trying to carry two drinks and two cans of Red Bull up and around the steps to the stadium seating area...and I was still sober then! I say that we legalize gambling in California, eliminated income taxes, and learn from what Sin City does best!! :D
- Never waited in line for the restroom more than a minute. I had VIP tix for TIC-LA, so didn't have any problem there, but heard that restroom lines were long at the Sports Arena.
- Tiesto played an amazing set, as I expected. I don't think he played his new track "Music on My Mind," which was a good thing if you've heard it. If he did play it, then it must have been a much better remix than the original! The rest of the show was very similar to TIC-LA, though Tiesto's tracklist was different.
- Half the dance floor was VIP and the Arena (floor) was almost completely packed. I'm guessing that almost 8,000 people showed up?
- Since the floor was divided into two (VIP left, GA right), was difficult to get up front. I once got two people away from the stage, only to find out that no camera pictures would come out there due to this blue light machine that shined into the lens every other second! :whip:
- The NYE countdown was done on the screen, digital display with minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Big burst of fire at midnight, but the real surprise was the blizzard of confetti released near the end of the night! Never seen so much confetti, it was coming down for several minutes!
- As mentioned, Tijs closed his set with the encore song G&D "MindCircus." PVD also ended his set with "MindCircus" the night before. The world's #1 and #2 DJ's end their sets with the same song...I see some symbolism here, maybe Tiesto paying respect to the DJ who was finally voted above him this year? I think Paul played the original and Tiesto a remix though. After that, the crowd was chanting "one more," but I knew there wouldn't be..."could I please have some silence, could I please have some space" - nothing can follow that, except the obvious! ;)

| ..."could I please have some silence, could I please have some space" I think that's why they both chose that tune, PVD has done that plenty of time before, thats how he closed in LA earlier in 2005, tiesto wasn't playing no tribute to anyone really, the lyrics are just very appropiate |

I posted this review on tiesto's myspace...
--------
I thought the show was perfect in every way. It started on time as scheduled at 9:30, the crowd went nuts when tiesto came on. He looked really serious and focused and kept that way during the entire nite and it shows. The set was flawless. the track selection was perfect for this kind of show. it consisted of everything from classic tracks like 'open your eyes', 'das clockenspiel', and 'traffic' to newer tracks, my fav being 'Remember me' and 'Air for life' to tiesto's own production tracks and few live singing. And the midnite track couldn't have been more perfect with live singing of 'Just be' WOW! Lots of kisses and hugs! strangers from all over the world were like best friends at this moment. The atmosphere was electrifying and it just gets better and better as the nite progressed. Alot
badass banging tracks i couldn't recognize kept driving the crowd into oblivion! there werent' alot of cheesy breakdowns just relentless driving bassline flowing and i couldn't stop dancing. I didn't want to look at my watch becuz i didn't want the nite to end but when i finally did it was freaking 3am! he ended with 'traffic', everyone knows this song and it sounded so good in this arena. everyone thought it was a good ending but then tiesto came back after like a minute and dropped the final song, Way Out West - Mindcircus! OMIGOD WOW! the confetti came down and everyone is singing along...
Falling in
six hours from morning
and falling in
sink me off to... sleep
so come along within, ahh..uhh
i think it's time to let me in
I'm tipping my foot very close to the edge, edge..ahh
just a few more of your seconds
and I need for me to repair
to neatly stand and spin it around in my head, yeah..ahh
can I please have some silence
can I please have some silence (yeah)
can I please have some silence
how 'bout some space
almost
ready to drift now
and I feel myself slipping inside you
just a little bit further
before something drags me back
so close, I thought I nearly had you there
I'm so tired
I gotta sleep
I wanna wake up from a dream...
...
Now that's a perfect ending to a perfect new years eve party! thank you Tiesto for the most memorable nite.

Downright the best time I've ever had in my life. I was absolutely blown away by the production quality, live vocals, tracklisting, and not to mention the HOT GIRLS present (WOW!)! I LOVE Las Vegas! Too bad I didn't meet any other TA's though :( . Nonetheless, every bit worth the money, I'd do it again in a heart beat. :)
Anymore pics???? |

I actually hope that with how attendance has been if they do any more TiCs in the US, they do SF at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. The main auditorium holds 7,000 to 8,000 peeps between the main floor and the seating....It would be a nice, tight production with the whole place packed. from floor to cieling if they controlled it all.
Tiesto has not played in SF since December 2004...I think this whole area is damn thirsty for him....at least those don't really know the demise in his quality.
I need a Tiesto fix, though. Badly. lol. That set that was downloadable recently is awesome, IMO. Love it :) |

Wasn't Tiesto's NYE set supposed to be SIX hours? not four? I swear I heard many times that his NYE set would be longer than his use TIC USA sets and be six hours. In fact, a quick search on google about details for the night all say SIX HOURS.
I'd be most pissed about that. |
errrr it was 6 hours :rolleyes: |
