after not seeing tiesto the last 2 times he was in town i took a chance last night and went and saw him
iam so glad i did, deff one of his best nyc sets hands down
he got on at like 1:30 and played only and hour of in search or sunrise type music after that he was unstopable
he was back mixing trance into tech-trance
kai was a good opener but serge as a closer rocked good
the crowd was a lil bit too much gweedo for me almost got into a fight
the girls were young and after tiesto left it was all asian swing dance thats when i couldent take it anymore lol
low points of crobar is the glasses they use at the bar i must have almost slipped on like 3 of them last night walkin around
they should just get plastic already
good seeing you big mike on your way out and gettin your signed as always
2 id's needed are the track before playmo very techy and hard
and the last track tiesto dropped was unbelivable
over all his set brought me back to me it deff blew pvd's set out of the water when he was here in march |

oh nelly... his track selection looks the exact same AS EVERY OTHER TRANCE DJ IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW, WELL-KNOWN OR NOT. what the 75% ignorant-in-trance-music-except-Tiesto crowd doesnt know is that Scot Project was the first DJ ever to play "playmo" (@ Avalon last summer)...
ehhh idk, im only now starting to realize that 40$ for ANY DJ is just ridiculous... where were these "TRANCE IS THE BEST MUSIC EVER, AND SO IS DJ TIESTO!" people when Scot Project or Above and Beyond (i heard it wasnt real packed) or Jon O'Bir or Ferry came into town (with better mindblowing music and not always the same ol top-40 trance hits playlist)... and you mentioned the hot women... of course a Tiesto party brings hot women, hot 16-20 year old girls are the ones that buy all the new PURE TRANCE or ULTRA TRANCE compilations of the past few years, where all of Tiesto's music is on... its not like "looooooove comeeeees againnnnn" isnt still on heavy rotation on KTU... whoops, it is.... the types of people u see on myspace with Tiesto's music on their page have their favorite clubs list with "Neptunes, DNA, Webster Hall" and Crobar because of the other time they saw Tiesto....
...sorry for my rant, may seem like a hater but you could have brought an Alex MORPH, a DuMonde, an anybody in the trance world and the tracklist would be the same... if u think the "showman" aspect of Tiesto is gone, i heard some stories about a gig of his at WMC that would beg to differ... think about it this way... with 40$ admission, you paid 10$ for every hour he played... was it worth it? |
did u go to the party? how do you conclude that "you could have brought an Alex MORPH, a DuMonde, an anybody in the trance world and the tracklist would be the same" from the 7 tracks mentioned otherwise. People in the montreal forum said they couldnt id all but 1 or 2 songs from his set.
And $40 for any DJ here, by comparison, is too much, i agree. However, we in NA are privelidged. These parties cost a lot more in Europe.
And you know what, ill say it myself. To see a great set is rare these days (at least in toronto). There is a lot of good music, and good parties, but not great ones. The last great party here was back in 2004 on a boat cruise with armin and it cost $70+, and you know what, it was money i wouldnt hesitate in spending again. That was Armin, and IMO, Armin isnt even close to Tiesto in terms of club performances (based on the many times ive seen both here).
I also fail to see what 16-20 year old girls, or radio stations that still play love comes again has anything to do with his latest performance. |

His name is Kai (used to be part of the duo Chris & Kai) and he was using ultrasone headphones... I just asked him myself. Check out his site: http://www.dj-kai.com/ |

There were two big screens, but oddly placed in a perpendicular fashion to the stage, further back over the dancefloor. As such, it was impossible to look at both the stage and the screen, and I chose the stage, so I have no idea what was on the screens. What glipses I did see, however, were of Window Media Player type visuals, sort of like the ones that they always have at Psytrance shows. |
nice! im assuming the light show was great! |

I'm late with my review but better then never;)
First of all i want to thank H&H for being here with me. Tijs wouldn't feel that great if you werent around. :D
I agree with most things that were said about Thursday night. It was a different night, with Tijs playing partially ISOS style and then harder. I enjoyed it but i really missed Chris visuals. Somebody posted that it was a good thing but i love to see "Sound of Tiesto" and feel like i'm in his world right now. Too bad!
:(
It was great to finally meet Ammora - you are a sugar babe with the most beautiful blue eyes i have ever seen :toothless
DJ. A.K. - Thanks for the compliment. I have to say that you are one of a very few men who really knows how to dress. Plus we share the same cultural background and fields of work. Great talking to you. I saw you were really enjoing Tijs set.:crazy:
Mischa!!!! DOn't you have more fun in NYC than in Amsterdam LOL:haha:
Nick!!! Wow, i'm sorry. We met in a wrong time. I felt you wanted to help us to get in when i found out I wasn't on Tiesto GL. But i think my name was so many times on the Dj's lists so they just let us in without giving any trouble. Pity i haven't seen you afterwards. I would love to talk to you!!!! :tongue2
