So, I decided to be a bit of a whore and create a thread ahead of time - in case someone at the party will want to post something. ;)
From what I understand the Friday and Sat shows should be different, as both will be aired on Sirrius - so, I'm thinking that Friday show will most likely be Part I and Saturday will be Part II.
I ended up missing Friday show but it looks like I'm going to get my ass over there for Saturday gig. Should be wicked! :D
Post away :) |

It started off alright/good, but somewhere around 8:30-8:45, he lost me and from that point on it sucked. What the was with some of his tracks tonight. Alter Ego - Rocker, there were like 4 or 5 tracks that sounded awfully Swedish, so much so that I thought I might have missed his initation announcement. Also, his mixing was really shoddy tonight. I want to listen to this set again to see if my initial reaction remains, but overall, I had a decent time, but thought the music was lacking tonight.
Still a lack of port-a-johns. I didn't really use them after 7:30, but the line was absurd the last time I went. 25 is not enough for 5,000 people and I feel sorry for you kids going tomorrow who will experience it when it's more crowded. |

I'm just trying to warn you, but you're definitely going to get your signature clipped if a mod sees it. |

I'm not seeing him tomorrow, but going in I said he'd really have to blow my mind tonight to see him again tomorrow. I know I'm not the only one who felt like I did, as others I talked to tonight had similar reactions. One of our friends who we only see at PvD and Sasha gigs said that in his 7 years seeing PvD, tonight was the most disappointing.
Also, he played As the Rush Comes, but at least it was some remix I didn't know prior
At the beginning of the night, though, I did say that I thought it was better during the daylight than Armin at Tobacco Warehouse if that says anything for you. Whereas Armin closed strong on Saturday, but opened slowly, PvD did the opposite. |

That bastard did it out of spite. :whip:
I specifically singled that track out in the "don't play this" thread. :mad: |

On the plus side, at least I don't recall him playing that piece of Plastic Fantastic.
AND.... It was better than last year, at least at parts. Last year @ CP was the worst set I've heard from him live, though, in probably 10 gigs in a 2-3 years. |

| As much as I havent been feeling his music for the last 4 gigs or so, this one blew it away. HE IN KILLED IT WITH SO MANY NEW TRACKS. Sure, he played some repeats but its expected. Mixing with ableton just sucks ass, not his fault, but thats just the way it is when the computer does it for u. Lasers were top notch. Overall, EXCELLENT NITE OUT. |

Oh yeah, two different mixes of "The Other Side" :whip: :whip:
And I agree, yet again, great lights by Made. They were the most redeeming part of Armin and were up there yet again tonight as the highlights. I have some feeling that a lot of people enjoyed staring at trees tonight.:crazy:
Off to hopefully a better time @ Element after grabbing some food. |

i showed up, took one look at the crowd, thought about how disappointing last year's set was, and promptly sold my tickets...
as far the major draws go, i always felt that pvd drew a better crowd than tiesto, but that #1 is like a magnet..
on a brighter note, snakes on a plane was the most fun i've had at a movie in a long time =) |

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that "right" PvD will show up tomorrow and beat the out of me wiht killer beats. Ohterwise, i'll beat my almost $60 for ticket out of him tomorrow!
I want to slip him "diving faces" CD - see if he plays it live. I'd ing die if he does. :)
tho, I"m not holding my breath, as I am sure he will only play "cleared" tracks, as it will air on sat radio. |
