Honestly I loved a bunch of his tracks, but it felt as if he put a cd on and pressed random. There was no flow, no feeling, and that sucks.
Hey I know he is only human, and we up from time to time. But when you get to be one of the best in the world you don't have the luxury of being to up. You have to play your best all the time.
Also, he trainwrecked a bunch of times. I though that I was hearing things but when I heard someone else say the same thing I knew it was true.
I will still go and see him again, but I will be listening more carefully instead of letting myself go and letting the music carry me away with the tunes.
Just my opinion though!

PS: It was kinda awesome to see all of those young kids there habing a great time, on the other hand, me and mere were wondering if they could tell that half the audience was cracked out/drunk/whatever....not what I would want my kid to see.....I think the young one's didn't get it at least.....:nervous: :nervous: |
No, I wasn't. We had to drive back to DE and I stayed sober so I could drive back and put him to bed so the adults could finish and I could get started. Thanks for asking though. My 19 year old was there too and he gets it. I heard Thank you more times that night then I have ever heard in my life. My kids are great. I would have brought my 7 year old twins but way to much, with the crowd, and the fact that they are to young, but dont get me wrong, my kids love PVD just as much as I do.:gsmile: |

I think the kids were great too.. just please.. please.. get them ear plugs.. If they're small, they won't know when it's too loud.. and since hearing is crucial to language development, a single loud enough night, close enough to the speakers could cause a lifetime of speach problems.. Ya, i'm being a bit dramatic, but why risk it when ear plugs are 50 cents or so at duane reade..

| After reading the reviews all i have to say is I can't understand that the majority of TA's did not like either set? WTF? Friday night was the better night overall. Only second to the 2004 Summer Stage set. It was a great time both nights. It think it's great and refreshing that Paul is using Abe. the way he does. He is using it properly. |

Can you explain what you mean by this? Though I will admit not being a user, from what I've heard about Ableton from people who use it and from hearing Paul's sets, he's really not using that many of the capabilities at all. |

exactly, he doesn't take it overboard - because if he were to start getting truly fancy with Abelton's vast features, the show would turn into a software showcase, not a concert. Paul utilizes the program for all the right reasons and at all the right times - he'll mix up a vocal from one track with a beat from another (ATRC example), he'll go on a quick and dirty mixing spree and phase between 3 or 4 tracks in just 10 minutes, he'll put a phaser or a distortion unit on a track's breakdown here and there, etc. But he varies all these and brings them in at the right times, not doing it too much - and not too seldomly. He doesn't try to be Zabiella, filling a set with countless tricks, loops, and effects. This works for me, and I truly loved Paul's Saturday set. |

well he layered 2-4+ tracks & effects at times
there are recorded sets out there that he has done the same.
Friday night one of his mixes was
lambda new york vs unknown vs autumn
into
appendex e man of god vs lambda new york vs the other side vocals
...
if you dont know the tracks though it may sound like a mess of tracks lol |

im guessing that it wasn't trancy enough for a lot of peoples tastes
but i dont see how it could have been boring unless you were having a bad time for some other reason. |
