Okay so let's start by saying that Armin was crazy and he was pretty on point.. track selection was good, much better towards the second half. I was going to wait for someone else to bring up the problems the club was having with the sound system ONLY once Armin started to open with La Guitarra, which was so awesome. Finally got Armin to sign a picture I brought with me and it smuged in my pocket so thats shot to hell but still have an awesome load of vids. The crowd was WILD it was an awesome vibe, very crowded on the main floor. I was kinda pissed off that the set actually was only 2.5 hours and wish it could have lasted longer but hey, there's always mccarren pool haha.. Erica, it was nice meeting you and I thank you again, too bad I didn't see you inside though lol..

Tracks I can remember right now:

La Guitarra
Going Wrong (which mix?)
Beauty Hides In The Deep (JOC Remix)
In & Out Of Love (New Mix)
Face To Face
ZOCALO!!!
If You Should Go (Ali & Fila Remix)

He encored with:
Burned With Desire
Sound Of Goodbye

good set from Armin but Pachita..NEVER again..i was optimistic going in there but b4 u knew i couldnt go into my pocket without hitting some1..then a fight breaks out and i was in the front while it happened..then it was so packed that every1 was getting pushed around nd then im in the middle of the crowd...also the sound blew..every1 was screaming and u couldnt hear the music..when Armin would turn the booth monitors down it killed the sound for the floor...horrible spot to throw a party..thumbs down

this is # 7-ID

To begin with, i had and advance tickit so there was no wait on line, as soon as i got in i thought they would have security check, but there was no security check , the elevator was freakin cool lol. When i fianlly got up in pachita it looked really small, this was the my first time at pachita, it could hardly hold the crowd, when i got in at around 11 the place looked almost packed, DJ Remy was playing that time, he was great, i was actaully enjoying his set and there was room to dance that time.

Armin came around like 12.15 till that time it was completely packed, no room for danceing, ok i understand its armin there gonna be a lot of pushing, spilling of drinks and stepping on your shoes, but it was way tooo much! Armain bought great energy in the room doing his jesus van buuren poses, and within 45mins of his set there was a freakin fight right next to me, which almost killed it for me, i was soo pissed, this random steroid taking Douche bag was pushing every one and pissing ppl off, then some one started hitting him, he fell down, all of a sudden the crowd turned into david f*ck!ing beackham and started kickin ths $hit ouuta him, any no bouncer was suppesed to be seen untill it was over. i have the whole thing on video and pics, will post it soon.I hate ppl like these, they spoil the thing for themselves and everyone els, Erica was helping that dude get up, in the process she lost her purse, hope she finds it back. After that i got out of the main floor and had a copule of drinks so i could have fun.another messed up part was i saw my ex makingout with some other dude lol

There were way too many ppl for a wednesday night, and i guess the main floor would have been a better option. there were no lasers or strobelights. the worst part was ppl's sweat dripping on you!

anyways for the good part, the mucic was great, but there was some glitch in the system, the music was going off a lot of times, armins track selcetion was great. I wish his set was longer, it was just like 2.5-3 hrs long.

The track of the night for me was zocalo and burned with desire. i got the back of my iphone signed by him which was crazy!!

met a copule of TA's it was great meeting you guys.

All in all i would say it was ok, not as i was expecting it to be, i thought there would be a lot less ppl than that were there, but i guess notthing is intimate wen armin's in NY, i saw his pics form the toronto gig last night they had way too much fun compared to us new yorkers i guess.

well pics and vids comin soon

wow gmoney thats pretty on the money.. i was yelling ID ID like crazy for a few tracks haha where were all you guys? thanks for the tracklist so promptly lol that's awesome
kadomony
inpetto remixed the legacy? :wtf:
BiG MiKE
After seeing Remy tonight, it confirms that he should be a future headliner. Everytime he comes to New York, he's about to start really pumping, but that's when the main DJ comes on. :(

yeah yeah, all in all good WEDNESDAY night for $25 + ARMIN though, still asking myslef why I was on the NYC streets walking back to the car before 3am, but I was pretty satisfied with the set as an entirety and of course Armins track selection + carisma carried the energy of the whole night. Heard he was supposed to go til 5am atleast!?! -but cant complain in the long run...all I know is besides the few that already had off from work on a Thursday(i.e. myslef-), everyone else could have pulled off a full work day----:confused: Guess im chillin all day listenin to ASOT 350...:happy2: :happy2: :happy2: *no complaints*
