sick sick sick!!!! pics on the way reaaaallll soon!

full review tomorrow! but for now i gotta say that the venue was def. unique although it was really really narrow, but the sound was good and the atmosphere was amazing! the place was pretty god damn packed and one of the best parts of the night was that guy on the jetski who pulled up and was dancing to pvd lol

and it was great meeting kingchinc, d-murge (i think lol), kelly, and many more of you, plus hanging out with the old TA's haha

I thought it was a really good set. He built it nicely over the 5 hours and finished strong. It was definitely better than the last couple times I've seen him.

I STRONGLY disagree. Venue was horrible. Sound was horrible. I left at 7:15pm. Made Events dropped the ball with this one in my opinion. One of the worst, if not THE worst, show I've ever been to. If I knew it was gonna be like that I wouldn't have even paid $10 for it.

unreal night, now i know why there is such a big fuss about him in nyc. i thought the sound was pretty decent, maybe it depended on where people were standing. it was pretty bad trying to get remotely close to the front, but what did you expect when its such a narrow pier. either way the nyc crowd are super friendly or at least they were this evening, and it was awesome to see everyone getting so into it. hope your parties are always this much fun, see you guys again some day!

You sir are an idiot.


But seriously, you may be the only one with this view...but what do I know


I was there. I had a great time...even by myself.

If anyone encountered an asian guy with a black collared shirt and cargo shorts, with a huge ass montecristo cigar, that t'was me :D

I'm definitely waiting for someone to post up the tracklist.

it was an ok show...we did have a lot fun though. lasers and visuals were pretty awesome and it had been a GREAT day for the party. illest sunset evar.

I hated the venue and the setup (why oh why couldn't he have played at McCarren?!). The lines for the drink tickets booths congested the middle of the skinny-ass landing strip they passed off as a dance venue and considering the amount of people in the crowd, the bathrooms were placed too close to food vendors and the second set of speakers.

As for PVD, he cut in and out of his tracks too much. Or maybe that was the volume as heard from the middle-back. Predictable set, save the Motorcycle tracks, but overall, nothing to write home about. The sound past the first quarter of the stage was muffled as to the point where the German vocals he played did not sound German. So disappointed.

Positives -- the weather, jet ski man, the PVD beam reminding me that PVD is still Gotham's favorite DJ!

the venue really did suck, no room at all if you tried to move towards the front. heck anywear that wasnt the very back you had literally no room and people constantly coming and going. pauls set wasnt bad but wasnt great.

I had to agree with you guys....VENUE TOTALLY SUCKED>i mean...sure its a new place and all...nice view of the city and jersey..but it was just way too over crowded.... very unorganized... if they did it at mcCarren will be load better.... his set was in and out.... which sucked... was he on crack ? i mean his set was nothing...special I couldve listen to his live sets I downloaded and it wouldve been even better lol....and the ticket for the drinks is ridiculous.... i waited like... 30 min just to get a drink. overall it was a fun night friendly people all over....even tho the venue was ...we still made the best of it and had loads of fun~...
