This is why ppl watching was so amazing. Messy Tiesto Hoecakes everywhere. This is a vid of a girl dancing with electrical cords like it's a stripper pole. She falls at the end, so great. :haha:

:eek:
no idea how a dj is supposed to be fresh and pumped for each show with a sched like that
also, saw on the news that several ambulances were dispatched to arrow hall as people were having bad reactions to drugs...at least that's what was reported on the news
know your dealer people ;)
After all these years you're still defending your god dj...

Came in with low expectations because the only other time I've seen Tiesto was at CiRCA and that was quite disappointing to say the least. The first hour to hour and a half was really up and down. Good track, cheese, cheese, good track etc.. Considering he didn't play any classics at CiRCA and played Flight 643, Adagio, Silence & Traffik - I walked away satisfied. The light show/setup was pretty interesting to watch. When the sound cut out I had a really tough time getting back into the music after that. What a buzz kill!
I really liked the venue too. Easy to get to, free parking and they had a large variety of food and drink to buy inside.. even though I didn't take advantage. Except for up near the front the crowd was pretty spread out and I wouldn't say the place was more than half full at the most. The next/last time I see Tiesto will likely be in Ibiza :p
... and he didn't play sandstorm :(
Biggest complaint of the night - absolutely no prior notice was given in regards to not allowing fireworks in. Where's the consideration??

So glad I didn't go...last great Tiesto set was @ The Docks on December 11th, 2004; 7.5 hours of total madness!!!

every weekend of every year for well before I started partying in Toronto 15 years ago.

First off, thank you to tranceaddict for the free VIP tix... I've never won anything before, it was pretty awesome winning. We got there and walked to the willcall line and told them my name under the tranceaddict guestlist, and they're like "your name isn't on this list"... Were like, "fuuuck we just got conned!" Then he proceeds to say "your name is on the VIP list".... and so our night began :)
Yes it's true, all-ages sucks.... But everyone that went knew it was all ages so stop complaining about it. Any club you go to, you're gonna find young ammateur partyers who can't handle their alcohol/drugs... It's inevitable._
The venue was pretty sick. I've never been to arrow hall but I must say it did the job. It reminded me of the trance room at Bal en Blanc... It was huuuuuge with a massive stage and back drop, the vendors selling party favours along the sides.... Kinda reminded me of how raves used to be back in the day.
As for Tiesto's set and performance, I loved it! I've seen him a gazillion times, with my first in 2000, and I've never seen him so interactive with the crowd before. He basically was putting on a show... It was a full on concert promoting his Kaledeiscope album- we knew that. The first half of his set was mostly his new tracks off the album, which sounded very "British rock/ pop-ish to me... I enjoyed it. Then he started playing some tracks off his ISOSs... Then he played Chakalaka and it was really funny cuz I started going nuts and no one knew what song it was, lol. Shortly after he ripped it with a crazy remix of Beautiful Day - U2... (If anyone can ID that remix for me, I'll love u forever!!) _It was sooooooo good- the highlight of my night of course :p! He played crowd favourites and went on the mic a couple times saying "hello torontooooo"... Lol.
Towards the end of his set, he said he had 15 min left and he wanted everyone "to go craaaazy"... So we did, and then he ed us by jetting off the stage 5 min later. I mean, WTF!?!? If you say you're gonna be on for 15 more min, then ing play some tunes for 15 more minutes!!!! Press play for god sakes, I dong care, just play some tunes and don't walk off the stage... Everyone honestly thought he was going to come back on for a few more min... Nope. Night was over.
Overall it was still an awesome set with great vibe, but my only complaint would be how he ended his set.
~C~ said it best. Seeing Tiesto isnt a "dj gig" anymore. It's pretty much a concert. Same visual effects as the night before, more or less the same songs played from city to city in the same order so that they can play the visuals accordingly. You cant really expect anything more than that.
Paying $100 for VIP (which i didnt even figure out what made them VIP other than a seperate entrance)or $50 for GA's is pretty steep but hey...the guy can demand it and people still pay it so you cant expect to get charged any less.
You're basically going to this kind of event and you're going to get make or break your own night. Are you going to go and bitch about "all the teenie boppers" and "his horrible dj-ing skills"? or are you going to go, get drunk and listen to some tracks thats going to get a huge reaction out of the crowd.
At the end of it all, remember...its fun, but its not a DJ gig.
Seems like the only people that had fun were the ones that were expecting a concert.
That being said....i had an awesome time. (plus, my vip tickets were free) :D
