I think you missed the point.. The point is that nobody should ever have the time nor the mindset while at a show they spent $40+ bucks to walk through the door of just to sit there & right down an entire 32 set tracklist complete with Remixes..
Not to mention the fact that, unless they are standing right there next to AVB nobody should be able to guess an entire sets tracklisting..
If some random DJ knows every track another dj played at a show.. That sucks even if you are a local DJ, much less A top 100 DJ in the world!...
How many people were at that show by the way?? Tiny Trance market?? Seems to me the Trance Guys have been packing the joint in Central FL (EG. PVD,AVB,TIESTO).. Regardless, it should make no difference.. A "worldclass" dj should come to every gig with their "A" game..
P.S. I hope this doesnt come off as negative towards you or anybody who attended. Just pointing out a few things. :happy2: |

| they're called trainspotters and aren't that uncommon. they'll just stand in front of the booth looking liek they're not having any fun whatsoever, just staring at armin at every single movement he does and taking notes. |

Yeah I know... BUT.. I had no idea these guys were up there writing down tracklists & remixs.. Who the hell even knows the names of all these tracks off the top of their heads! :conf: I mean I'm a dj, I could see knowing a few when they come on.. But every last one!..
This tells me all the tracks are old & played out to the extent that DJ Jon Local Tranceguy could have played the same exact set the week before..
C'mon now.. Is this Top 100 dj credentials??? Does somebody like this deserve a 5 digit paycheck for a couple hours of Jukeboxin'?? |

Once again man, who cares what you think???
I posted a TL from a show in Orlando, I would assume it's accurate (or somewhat close). Either way you can look at any of his other recent TL's and see similar tracks being played. If you like those tracks, go to the show and have a blast. If not, stay home. IMO, stay home and chat on message boards...I have a feeling you do alot better there.

So you just find it weird that somebody can ID and type the track titles into their phone? I don't have that ability nor do I care to do it, but I'm fully aware it happens, can happen nor am suprised that it does happen.
I say tiny trance market b/c it't not mainstream. Orlando/central Florida has enough population that it'll be packed in any venue. But, do you hear trance on the local radio in Orlando on a Tuesday morning? no way...
Would you hear it in Miami? or Utrecht, Netherlands, or Berlin... Yes(used to with party 93.1), yes and yes..
I also think Armin did come with his "A" game. I had a blast and wish I could go again. And my point earlier is that he is allowed to play mainstream tracks b/c it is a smaller market that is very "bandwagon" type commercial trance per-se that isn't as knowledgeable as those above mentioned cities.
I also don't think you are being negative at all. I enjoy our civil debate and how you aren't making any obnoxious statments. |

:eyes: Wow... That leads me to believe one of 2 things.. Either your friend is AVB or they were standing right next to AVB copying the text straight from the CDJ screens..
If Your friend was not AVB they must have been pretty bored if they were able to put together a 32 song tracklisting with remix titles on their phone while they were at the club.. Just curious but if your friend is not AVB, is your friend some sort of prodigy? The fact that your friend could name each & every track & remix AVB played, doesn't say too much for AVB .. I mean, Unless you are getting this info directly from AVB..
Aren't these big dogg top 100 guys suppose to be playing at least some prereleased stuff we have no clue about yet?
Regardless, the fact your friend even made the tracklisting while at the club pretty much tells me the show was a yawner (Unless it was in fact AVB who is your friend).. :) |
that would be me dude..trust me..i had tons of fun at the party..and no im not AVB nor was i watching the cdjs..i spend maybe a total of 5 mins writing the tracks down on the phone..ive been doing tracklists for shows for a few years now and people seem to enjoy what i do..most of the stuff armin plays is fairly new..im just really up to date on my music |

Apparently.. If they still did Name that tune you would be a prime candidate for the show Im thinking.. :haha:
I'm really current with what is coming out in my scene (Im not into trance) & I really couldn't tell you every track I hear my favorite dj's play.. Might be lucky if I hear 4 or 5 that I can partially Identify... |
