Well I sure had an amazing time last night. A bunch of my friends from school finally got to come up this time around which made for an unforgettable experience!
As was said before... there were entirely too many ppl at the event. This is my third time seeing armin at spirit and it has never been this packed for such an extenuating period of time. However we definitely made the best of the situation and danced our asses off:D Oh yea... and how about solarcoaster for the last encore. As my one buddy put it "If you don't leave feeling happy after hearing that track... there is something wrong with you."
All kinds of pics to come... and one sick video from armin's opener:) |
Are you gonna make a post to share them :) |

Nice pics, Ali. Which train did you all come into Grand central on? I was on the train that got in at 9:41, but if you passed me you might not have recognized me as I was taking a pre-Armin nap, plus I was sitting in the last car on the train. I did hang around the grand central info booth for a bit though, but didn't see anyone. |
We were at the main GC kiosk for I think 30-40 minutes seeing if anyone would be there and killing time so we didn't get to spirit too early. We must have missed you man! Caught you at spirit though so all is well. I was a bit out of it when I met you, sorry if I seemed a bit off :D |

Ok went with Ali and Ben from CT, great people, had a great trip there with them. Glad they both came, made the night that much better. You guys rock ;) Thanks for that ride to the car Ben too!
Remy was a bit slow for me and we all decided that we spent a bit too much energy on Remy before AVB came on. AVB was great, had a lot of fun the whole night. Right up front with a big chunk of the TA crew, great meeting a bunch of you. Tried to dance in the 1ft of space that I had but it was a challenge :)
The scene was just wayyyy too packed, during Remy it was packed up front but during AVB it just got insane and there was no room to move. Then there were the pushers from behind us, turning the front into a mini mosh pit. The security was just dumb barricading the front off like that, just made it even more tight. Didn't have any water while up there and got so hot and dehydrated I nearly passed out. Took me a day to recover. I agree a bigger place would have been better, although I don't know if that would have just meant that they would have filled the room with even more poeple.
Sorry Ali n Ben if I seemed a bit out of it on the way home, at GC and the train was so dehydrated I couldn't move. Can't wait to do it again, next time I'm drinking lots more water.
Overall super night. |

Ok, here is my $.02 cents. Communication IV was awesome, the encore was SIICK...but ive def preferred prior shows to last night.
Then again my opinion could be biased because 1) it was too overcrowded with the wrong type of ppl (altho it was fun to make fun of the guidos, i know drew, gabe, chris and i were cracking up like crazy over that). The vibe sucked IMO except at the end dancing with TAs and 2) my ears were bleeding from standing right in front of the dj booth. And after awhile, i was just getting a little bored with Armin's set, which surprised me since I loved all his shows last year. ehhh
i still had fun tho, didn't regret going. :] |

Damn! I really wanted to go to this one but I was actually spinning a party last night w/ friends, sooooo you know :D lol. I guess next time.
In a small way I'm actually glad i did'nt go to this now, from reading some reviews, it seemed like it was overpacked. If it's one thing I can't stand it overcrowding, theres just no room to friggin dance :whip:. |

I guess I'm one of the only folks there that really didn't like Armin's set. It turned me off so much that I left after the first hour. His mixing was totally off and his track selection sucked. And I was willing to give him a better than usual chance because he started out with a Coldplay tune.
This is really upsetting, actually. Armin is one of my favorite DJ's, period. However, it's my opinion that his live gigs have turned to pure trash if we were to compare it to, let's say, his gig in Roxy on the 11th of July in 2003.
Sigh.
Remy, however, played one of the best sets I've heard from ANY DJ in years. There is one track that he played at 12:30 that had what sounded like "warning klaxons" in it that I REALLY flipped out too. If anyone could ID it, I'd be so happy. |
my sentiments exactly |

| Most of these top 10 DJ's dont lay it all out there anymore - there is no motivation there. Whether they play an exceptional set, or they play a set, at the end of the night - thousands of people showed up and the DJ is getting paid at the end of the night. I think that there are starving artists out there that play much better sets than these big name DJs - they are also more creative and more interested in the music. |

| Had an awesome time lastnight. I was chiln with every 1. i just kept finding more n more ta's lol, but damn the crowd was nasty and just too packed, couldn't dance the way i wanted too. Chilled in the vip area and relaxed, blacked out a few times,got lost, Im just pissed I didn't pay attention to Armins set like i normally do, too busy running around. Just glad everyone that i wanted to showed up:)makes it 10x better, and thanks lyss for driving my car hehe |
