Seems a bit of mixed reviews.
Saw a buncha people at Love last night that went to PVD. Heard two reviews that were "OMG PAUL ROCKEDDDD" and 10 reviews that were like "OMG I will never go to Paul again!!"
weird! Glad the weather held out!! I figured it would, when it rained for like 10 hours straight friday night ;) :) |

Paul was ing ridiculous. He brought it to the table old school PVD style. I must admit that the drums were distracting in the beginning. Later on they kinda of started working together, i guess.
Why they werent letting people in, in the beginning.
The bathroom situation is THE SAME ING SITUATION AS EVERY ING YEAR in CP. Dont they ing get it? I saw some dude getting kicked out cause he couldnt hold it anymore so he went behind the bathrooms/cotainer. When the bouncer started following him to kick him out i started yelling to run into the crowd they wont catch you.
The mashup of BT-Flaming june and the other song (for some reason i dont remember hte name) was ridiculous, didnt expect that one.
This set was soooooo much better than last years. He played a nice variety.
And nice to see burak and enigmat |

I have to agree with SebG enough to make my first post.
I spent 30 minutes missing the show waiting to use the bathroom. 6 port-a pottys? Unacceptable!!! With a $65 ticket charge, they could afford a few more. I ended up going behind the bleacher, ridiculous. I have not done anything like that for probably 10 years!
One random track I happened to know and remember was
orla feeney - comic strip
It was nice that PVD mixed it up so much with current tracks, his newer stuff, his classics and others favorites.
Thanks to the rain who waited till ten PM to start!
Yea- I was nice, dry and covered at that time, at a bar in the village getting my buzz back for LOVE.
I’m not a big PVD fan but have to agree it was a good show. |

I arrived as he was playing Nothing But You. Also played and not mentioned was Underworld - Born Slippy.
I had a great time there. The drummers were annoying, but not the end of the world and sound could have been louder. There was plenty room to dance in the back. One major thing did not happen. IT DIDN'T RAIN! I think everyone was thankful for that. The night was beautiful for trance.
One weird thing: Did anyone else notice reverse crowd creep? My group progressively moved closer to the stage. |

| about the bathrooms, there were three sets of toilets, not just six. One when you first got through the gate, and one on ether side of the stage. I was in and out of the bathrooms in no time. |

| I couldn't make out half the stuff paul was playing because of the damn drummer. Whoever the sound engineers were for this event have no idea how to set up a system for a dance party. They were treating it like a rock concert, placing the drummer's audio before the actual records PVD was playing. Everytime the drummer would hit his cymbals (which was by the way every ing time a beat was playing), the record would fade down to 30% volume. That's why the audio was in-and-out the whole night. Completely ruined the vibe for me. This is not to mention the bathroom situation that everyone has already complained about. I'm never going to a big event again unless Made's putting it on - live nation has no clue. |

good set overall, although as soon as the drums came in they overpowered the track and it sounded like
moment of the night by far was PvD & BT - Flaming June!!!! |

| I cheaped out and ended up hanging out right outside the event arena. The sound travels pretty darn well, so I was happy to listen to the set for free. Enjoyable, if full of a bunch of fluff in the middle of the set (after he hammered out a lot of his own classics). |
