Good time. My favs:
1. Benny Benassi
2. Junkie XL
3. Derek Plaslaiko
4. Tiesto
5. Telefon Tel Aviv
Benny surprised me. He played some killer tracks - such as a breakbeat rmx of Moby - "Go" that was f'in insane and then a SICK rmx of Pink Floyd's "The Wall"... it hit so damn hard. Blew me away. Unfortunately, most likely due to the massive partying @ Spybar the night before, I did not get to Purenation until after 2pm - and thusly missed Blake's set. :( Oh well. Junkie XL was amazing. It was actually the first time I saw him live. Had chances before but never got to. Again track after track of hard-hitting stuff, with INSANELY MASSIVE kicks that just obliterated the crowd. He had one of the sickest breaks I ever heard.. after the break was done, the kick started, and it sounded like that was the main kick - but it wasn't. A few bars later, the main kick hit, I just went nuts. Massive kicks. Not only was Derek's music selection fine, but he also played all vinyl, for some reason that made a real impression on me. Deep Dish disappointed me. They played the same song twice ("Party All the Time") and their set was generally low-energy and didn't do much for me. They did play Chasing Cars remix though and that was sweet. The one highlight of their set, perhaps. Tiesto had a great set, I liked much of what he played. He played some really really good trance later on.. Especially this one track. Dave Clarke - I was expecting much more out of him after hearing stuff about him. BUT one thing though - Tony said he played 2 Nitzer Ebb tracks... I was at the 2nd stage and missed em. But that is pretty sweet I would have liked to hear that. Anyway.
The sound setup really impressed me. I would have to say this was the best outdoor live sound I have ever heard. Sound setup at stage 2 was decent but I think I was spoiled by the main stage.
Great event, I will be in line for round 2 next year. Ultra who? ;p
A few pics.

I was blown away. Best music event I've ever been too. I hope they do this again next year. It was worth every dollar. Holy , I'm still moving from yesterday.
Everyone was great, except Dave Clark and Bad Boy Bill didn't do a whole lot for me. |

| Blake Jarrell didn't have much of a set. I showed up at 1:15 and all I saw was him walking away, and Justin Long putting on a killer show for the rest of their slot. Tiesto was a joke. It was my first time seeing him and all the negative reviews held up for me. At one point he completely walked away from the decks for about 5 minutes, and he also never stopped talking to the guys behind him. To me it just seemed like he wasn't taking it seriously. Deep Dish put on a killer show, and they were definitely my favorite. |

So what? Is a DJ required to be in front of the decks at all times for it to be a good show? I bet you don't even like trance. |

again I just added a Java-based fullscreen slideshow feature with configurable options. To use it open the hidden side-bar on the left (arrow icon pointing to the right) and click View Slideshow. You may get a prompt to install a Java add-in - click OK.
Hit escape to get out of the slideshow. You have to set the initial options, here is what I recommend:

Maybe Tiesto should have borrowed Junkie's air guitar. Would that have entertained you? His set was bangin'. Period.

my legs are sore. my first time seeing everyone pretty much. junkie xl is a rockstar along with benny. deep dish was a big disappointment. maybe andy fed them too many drinks. :D tiesto. never was a big fan of him. but i must say. he's stepped it up a lot.
all in all. 8 hrs of dancing to music. pleasure meeting all new ta's. im gonna rest from the scene for a bit.
yuris and andy. i missed you. :( rubin, thanks for taking care of me. tony, good hamburger conversations. christen, where did you go?!?! bbrown, i never saw you there. |

I didn't say I didn't like the music he played, it was awesome, I just don't think he took it seriously. He didn't work the crowd and he was hardly paying attention. [edit] His encore was pretty good, even though it was blatantly planned.

Is that supposed to be an insult? Don't judge me fanboy, I'm entitled to my opinion. |

was alot of fun
there was some confusion with justin long and I opening, so I just played a few tracks and let him take over. still was an honor to be a part of it.
telefon tel aviv was great. really nice guys, i didnt realize they were actually born and raised in new orleans. they are doing a dj set at dannys monday night playing all old school new orleans rap which is certainly going to be entertaining.
was cool that deep dish played the chasing cars remix, i think topher nearly himself. sucked that their management had to tell tiesto that they already played it hahahah.
i thought the festival was amazing, couldnt have asked for better weather, lineup, etc. the sound was probably the best ive heard at an outdoor electronic music festival. |
