Burak I feel your pain about the coat check . My night started out all f'd up. Didn't get into Nokia theatre until after 1230. I was on the one coat check line myself for 10-15 when they moved us to the other and I was on that for probably close to 45 minutes. I was able to watch Ferry on the big screen for 20 minutes or so and heard another 10-15 minutes. I too will never wear a jacket there or just get there really early.
I heard mostly good things about Dahlback, but like anything else, its a matter of opinion. Seeing as I didn't hear any of his stuff, I can't comment.
It was my first time seeing Ferry and the man brought the house down. I thought the venue was great. I pre-gamed so I didn't care about the drinnks, I was there for the music. I was pretty much right up in front all night (Mr. Fresh I was probably pretty close to you because I heard a couple people talking smack about Ferry, so annoying).
I just wish it was 21+ only...

He went on just after 100AM and played until just after 400. He actually stopped right before or right around 400 and threw out one more track.

Ferry was great. Sound and layout of the theater were pretty nice. Crowded, but I didn't feel like people were bumping into you every second like at some shows.
Coat check was a horror show. I waited for about 40 minutes, went through the line switch thing like Armitage350, and finally gave up and left the line when Ferry started. Danced with my girl's and my coat for an hour and then circled back when there was finally no line. FWIW, the bartenders also sucked and were the slowest bartenders I've ever seen at a bar/theater. In general, the staff, while not rude like Pacha, seemed completely uninterested in actually doing their jobs.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ferry's shout out to "Tee A's" around 3-3:30. Maybe I was just hallucinating :crazy:, but I thought that was pretty damn cool.

yep, 1am-4:03am including the encore. btw, if you tell the security guys at the end of the night that you're sober, they seem to just walk away and don't kick you out hahahaha.
forgot all about the coat line and TA shoutouts from ferry. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE ON TRANCEADDICT?????????????????????? :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

here's a quick vid of Ferry opening. i'm uploading the TA shoutout video right now. hopefully i'll have it locked in within the hour. Enjoy.
The video on my phone sucks, but I somehow managed to catch Ferry giving one of his shout-outs to TA and the crowd went NUTS...

Dahlback was a huuuuuge disappointment, repetitive uninspired same-ol' electrohouse, with the breakdowns with added reverb only to add up to nothing but the same beat that was going for 4 minutes before the break... I'm a fan of a lot of his productions but was not really feeling the set at all... Most of the NYTA local opening guys could have blown him away, but I think we're just naturally drawn to hype up a European guy's set. A Zack Roth, Brad Miller, or Mike Saint-Jules set woulda been so much more appropo, and enjoyable, in my opinion... Like I said, I'm somewhat a fan of John's productions, so maybe he was just having an off-night, or maybe it was that he was "opening" DJ.. I would probably give him another shot if Made brought him to Cielo or Pacha!
As for Ferry, awesome as always, really enjoyed the set and there was one song around 2:50 that made me lose my marbles, I don't know the name of it, but it was INCREDIBLE... Note to Burak: I don't think he played "24 Hours", I woulda gone ape if he did, and pretty sure I didn't hear it, but heard a song with a similar bassline...
As for the venue, it was okay... Sound was absolutely INCREDIBLE during Dahlback's set, and then took a dive once Ferry got on, not sure if the levels were just completely different for house than for trance, but it took a while for them to right it... First half hour, I couldn't really hear anything but the kick and the bass, no song details whatsoever... Coatcheck was a nightmare; they've got like 5 bars and a food court in there, you'd think they'd solve that coat check problem...
Lighting was interesting, I woulda hoped for more lighting effects to reach toward the back, as it was a sorta deep space, but the L.E.D. setup was definitely pretty awesome, so I can't complain...
Made always has a high standard of event production, I wouldn't be surprised if they have all the "negatives" figured out by next time around, so I would definitely go back to Nokia for the right lineups...
Overall, a very good party, the small complaints are just that, small complaints, nothing major, except the idiots chanting Tiesto... It's as dumb as people in Rangers jerseys going to Devils games (not against the Rangers)... Thanks for your money, now let us heckle you and ruin your night, before you do that us haha...
