Nice crowd and vibe, thankfully not overly packed, and more women than I have seen at a PVD show in a while (albeit a very high skank/stripper/hooker/hoochie/terrace-dweller quota).
Note I am a huge fan of PVD and had fun last night. But in my honest opinion for PVD that set musically was average. Once PVD transitioned completely out of the slow house Patrick M was playing PVD started dropping some nice deep techy tracks. At that point I thought the set had potential & we could be in store for a patented PVD ripping that you would not be able to stop dancing to. But it never really materialized fully IMO, and the set structure & flow was not there. Instead the set wandered aimlessly at times between trance and house, & he seemed to try waaaay too hard to work both into the set with an attempted perfect ratio of each by abruptly going from a trance song to a house song and back again over-and-over again. He did that instead of building into anything progressively, instead of playing more to the crowd & sticking to what was working, the TECHY , which every time he dropped the crowd went absolutely crazy. He also dropped some played out and even commerical tracks I think we have all have heard 500000 times, and can do without from a top notch DJ like him ?????
I do agree with others that the set was too short, but I expected it to go 3 hours, so 2.75 was close to what I expected. And they were charging $30 at the door, so shame on them for ripping off PVD's fans that bought tickets online :wtf: |

Yes, but not @ 4 a.m. My friends showed up at 6 a.m. & paid $30 each. |

I'm kind of glad that I can just sit in my hotel room and read this.
Heard from several people that don't typically like or even tolerate trance that he was excellent @ Cameo. Then I look at people's responses from the Space party and it seems meager at best. Everyone knew going in that it was going to be a really hard sell spinning to a house oriented audience such as the terrace peeps. The guy could have thrown down a legendary set and the crowd still wouldn't have reacted much different.
Glad that everyone had fun though.
:D |

cameo 2-5
space terrace 6-8:45
the sun was just starting to come up when pvd came on.
main room was closed when we left at 9... dunno if it was open before... got to space at 5 and main room was about 1/3rd full with a huge line to go up to the terrace... i heard as well that at 4am they kicked everyone out of the terrace and then only let people with afterhours wristbands upstairs. i guess because it was free before 1am for oscar g. |

Cameo and Space = Double disappointment :rolleyes:
I LOVE Paul Van Dyk but I didn't like his sets at all, i am one of the few peeps in here that you can still call a TRANCE ADDICT , I live and I die for Trance and unfortunately he didnt play any yesterday:( CAMEO was just a waste of precious time (sleep) and Money. he did play almost the same track list at both clubs. I am happy for those who had a good time, sorry i cannot say the same for me:nervous:
I was expecting to see the PVD who played @ the ROXY and @ Space in 2003, 2004:p
Ill stop bitching and get over it:toothless |
