Or better yet, get djs who are advanced and sophisticated enough to throw all the genres together, tribal mixed with funky tech with some trancy breaks. Calderone did this, Lawler can do it as well.
Darouge11, how was your experience? For awhile, it seemed like only you, Marcus, 84th, RobbieJ and myself were posting to and fro in the Resolution thread. Nice reviews from Marcus and 84th but how about rest of you guys (RobbieJ too busy looking to bodycheck pillheads into the penalty box :p)

hmm alrite in a nutshell...a bit larger one i might add...
i can see bell center form my hotel..Novotel...which was good...coat check was great, some hot black haired girl which almost made me cream my pants lol, and some girl in a blue skirt with her ass hangin out was a great highlight....i was amazed to see all the people by the end of the night on the dancefloor.....max graham disapointed me, the local talent suprised me alot...danny torrence was spinnin some trance so that made me happy....i left ten minutes before tiesto came on, because all my other friends had left, and i diddnt even know, and i thought tijs wouldnt even show up....alot of gay body builders, so i stayed away from the dancefloor alot.....thunderstruck was great as usual, and everyone was nice and polite...i grabbed a mcdonalds poutine lmao, not too bad, then i grabbed one from a bar at the train station which was a bit better....all in all even though i diddnt see tiesto, i give it a 8.75/10

Man honestly I love NYE @ Bell Center. I really hope someone keeps throwing a party like this there because they've really grown on me. For the past three years I've been attended the same party and everytime the night proves to be magical. There is something about the venue that is just so intimate and alive.
I was kind of expecting to see Tiesto pop out at 7 in the morning and just rush to the booth with no reaction but I was geniunely surprised when he came out from under that curtain and came alive for his fans. He really pushed it after a long ass night and I think he deserves recognition for that.
Such a sick night...

totaly agree, i was there since 8h30 and after 12h00 i was dead, hardly cold stand on my legs anymore, tryed to enjoy 5 tracks and i left...i kinda feel guilty. But it wasnt his fault he was late, who could have predicted bad weather...although i had a feeling.
He was also really late at Circus last year if i can remember...
But Resolution was pretty insane, i think Franco did a real good job on the countdown and that Max Graham played horribly (no head phones and all automated programs that were mixing the songs on there own, what a shame)
The bouncers were real asswholes, speacily the DJ both one, a pain in the ass!
me and u had the same experience it seems lol

My friend took this vid. Not the best quality but still fkin awesomeeeeeee.
Bad Clock one of the tracks of the night. I LOVE the lighting and how it works so great with the buildup. I really think the lighting was the party's best quality.

Amazing Night
I got there around 8:30 and it was empty and I watched the place fill up.
Second Sun did a great job, even with some power plug problem. The sound cut 3 times, the first 2 times were because of the Soletech faulty power plug that was kindly replaced by the technician of Moog audio, but the 3rd cut was a small laptop bug.
Franco Fabi played really good, i liked his set
Max Graham was really good, at one point someone from the DJ booth tells me "he is a fraud he is not using headphones, it's all pre-recorded" and then i was with the moog audio technician watching Max do his magic and we noticed that it was not pre-recorded at all, at one point he had 4 channels open on the mixer at the same time and let me tell you that being next to him all night, i can tell you that technically his set was more challenging to do than just mixing 2 CDs into eachother.
Then suddenly there was this big movement in the DJ booth, people from GK and BeB going and coming and the rumours started in the booth. At first some1 told me that he will be late for an hour and that was what it was written on the Screens and a couple of minutes later some1 from GK told me he will be late 2 hours, then i heard he was not coming..... long story short... at one point they said he is on his way but after listening to all these different versions i couldn't believe it. i was pretty sure he was not coming :P he proved me wrong lol
in the meantime Danny Torrence took over until Tiesto came, poor Danny they just dragged him out if his bed to put him behind the decks, he even had to re-think his set over on his way to Bell center lol. His set was really amazing i was even surprised to hear him play trancy tracks.
I think he kinda saved the night because he played nice tracks that revived the crowd and maybe made them forget Tiesto for a while.
Finally Tiesto came and he started playing, he seemed pretty pumped, full of energy, he was dancing and all, in a very good mood. I stayed for like an hour for him and then left. i was there really early so after 12 hours i was dead.
Overall the event was amazing, thumbs up for the lightmen and woman, they did an amazing job, the bad part of the story is that Tiesto had his own VJ and before he came by like 15 minutes the Lightman and VJs that were taking care of the Lights and screen animations packed their stuff and left, and Tiesto's VJ took over and may I say that he was really bad compared to the people before.
Another bad point was the Bass killing every1's ears but i dont know if the DJs just crancked up the bass or was it a technical problem, since the sound system in the Arena was made by Soletech and the DJ booth was by Moog audio.
The bad part of the story was that Soletech didn't even have a technician at Bell center, if something had happened to the sound system basically we were f****. The only person there was a Moog audio technician and he was the one who saved the day by changing soletech's faulty power bar (and he was only reponsible for the DJ booth but he was kind enough to take care of the sound system)
