| Let me first say that I love PVD... in fact, I'm a self-professed PVD junkie. I always love seeing him live - his energy and his interaction w/ the crowd are almost unparalleled. The venue was great, the crowd was great, and I ran into a few Toronto TA’ers there.:eyes: However, this is the first time I can say that I wasn’t impressed with PVD’s set. He started off with some fast, progressive stuff, and then went into his usual mid-set slow-down… He started to pick it up again with some tracks I’ve never heard, and I was very happy. Then the last hour of his set was the usual three-song montage we all know so well followed by Time of Our Lives and a few other old tracks. Maybe it’s because I see him quite often that I thought this set was somewhat stale. . . Oh well, next time he plays in the area, you know I’ll be there again :cool: |

i dunno.. i really liked his set. it was a lot of fun partying at d.c. for the first time. bouncers don't seem as strict and everyone's more laidback. none of that pretentious nyc bs. nation actually seemed more like a rave atmosphere than a club... had a really fun time tho,
Mac & Mac - Listen (Mac Zimms Remix)
Fable - Nightshift
Syndica - Orange Sky
Time of Our Lives
For An Angel
Other Side
The Drill - The Drill
Crush
some of the tracks i remembered.. |

Never been to Nation, but that type of laidback, not strict behavior must occur only there, because Fur/Glow is a competely different story based on my own perceptions the one time I went and from what I've heard from the DCTAs. In addition to the bouncers, their dress code was more strict than any of the NY clubs that I go to. |

I was there too, I thought it was great. Although I am not a huge fan of techno that PVD was playing in the beginning, it was a good night overall. He is fun to watch and he brings back a lot of trance memories from late 1990s and early 2000s.
He's still great :) |

If that was in reference to me, that night at Glow for Armin, everyone got the same treatment. |

Didn't see or meet Umes, Mommy420 or any other TA as usual well expect for Intelligent77. Nation has always had the strong rave scene and looks going for it since the 80's and in fact its great how at NATION theres nmo dresscode there they don't search or pat people at Nation for bigger events plus your allowed to bring glowsitcks, any type of smokes in there. I suggest people check this place out before it closes in July
Upcoming DJ's at Nation are John Digweed and Steve Lawler see ya there |

| I agree about the venue - I was actually somewhat confused; didn't know what to do with myself when I didn't get patted down going into the club :gsmile: Don't get me wrong, I did have a good time... I just would have opted for a slightly different track selection (esp. at the end of the show)... Anywho, Nation will def be sorely missed - I just hope that something else will come along with the same atmosphere :rolleyes: |
