I missed Zacks set, when I arrived I thought Zack was still on because it definitely didnt look like ATB but as I got closer to the stage I realized it wasn't Zack. It was someone named Josh (from what a friend told me) and I didn't even know he was going to be playing but he did a decent job of opening for ATB. At some points he let the dull beats drag on for a little too long but overall there were some good tracks in his set here and there. Main track that did it for me was an old David West song I hadn't heard in a while, can't think of the name right now (circa 2003ish).
It was about as packed as when Ferry was there however the crowd was mostly a lot younger. Security was much tighter this time. I was getting stopped every few minutes so they could make sure I had the proper pass for my camera but they were nice about it at least.
It looks like more subs were placed at the bottom of the stage right in front of the crowd. The bass was noticeably louder and I think the sound was tuned a bit better this time around.
ATB played his usual crowd pleasers as expected and threw in some nice tracks in between. It started off slow in the beginning but if definitely picked up alot within the first hour. He played Kings of Leon - Use Somebody, and kept teasing with Till I come.
I hardly knew anyone there which rarely ever happens. Did anyone else go? I saw may be like 6 people I knew tops.
I have one video... (ID Please) I know it but can't think of the name
Zack was on till around 11 then they switched. Rudi (Josh Gallahan)took the stage and opened for ATB + was workin the camera all night long.
Josh Gallahan (aka Rudi):
Venue was impressive, very clean. Sound system was BANGIN hardcore. I was in the very front on the right side and had a great time. Crowd was very young IMO. I tried to keep an eye out for anyone wearing a TranceAddicts T-shirt but didn't see anyone wearing one.
Set was pretty bangin and kept everyone going until 4am. Older stuff was played earlier on with his newer stuff coming later in the night.
Overall A+ show!

We arrived around 10:30 to find a line around the block. When we get to the corner, I notice a camera crew filming something, turns out to be ATB! He looked to be doing some kind of interview. We got to our vip table around 11. I liked Zack's set and the set by Josh Gallahan (which was unknown to me). ATB played one of if not the best set out of the 7 times I have heard him. He acutualy played the full 3 hours instead of 2.5 which was big plus as well. Heres a partial tracklist (not complete or in order.
Ecstacy w/ Let you go verse (opening)
Fisherspooner - Supply and Demand (2nd song)
ATB - LA Nights
ATB - 9pm
ATB - Long Way Home!!! (First time hearing this one live!
ATB - Swept Away!
ATB - My Saving Grace
ATB - Let you Go
Alpha 9 - Bliss
Kings of Leon - Use SOmebody (ali wilson mix)
ATB - What about Us (last song).
Overall a great night!

I'm surprised more people haven't said anything! This was one of the best shows in a while!
My first time seeing a full set from ATB and he definitely delivered. The teasing with "9pm Till I Come" was driving everyone wild! I agree the crowd was young, which is surprising, since this man is a legend. I am so glad I can finally say I saw him... and shook his hand at the end of the night. What a sweet guy. :D
He also played:
Dash Berlin - Never Cry Again
Estiva - I Feel Fine (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so good!)
Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek ?
Simon Patterson - Miss You (so.ing.good.)
a Nine Inch Nails remix that my friend was freaking out over
Hope he comes back for EZ this year. :)

Oh, and I love this venue. I liked it more the 2nd time there. No weirdos or creepers really since there's more of a concert feel to it rather than a club. I love that. I appreciated the lights this time too, better than at Ferry. Made Event did another sweet job.

Hell of a night. Friday was my first time at Nokia, and I loved the place. The lighting rig they had set up was unreal, the sound was awesome as well. Warming up the room was a blast. I was actually told early on Friday that ATB had a guy that was going to play before him from 12-1, so I was sort of expecting to keep some of my bigger tracks on the shelf. That changed pretty quickly though...the crowd was VERY amped up early on, and I don't think they were really wanting to hear chiller music, lol. More fun for me though. :) I'll try and get a full tracklist together in a bit.
ATB was great. I am still a little shocked at how big a following this guy has here. Obviously he's been around forever, but it seems like his following doubles everytime he is here. I never really considered him in the same league (following-wise) as guys like Tiesto, Armin and Ferry...but he absolutely is.
Anyway, awesome night. Hats off to Made for putting together such a huge event, and pulling it off seamlessly.

^^ Nice set Zack, my wife and I were enjoying it!
Question for you, when did you know Josh Gallahan was playing? I think the crowd gave him a big pop thinking it was ATB when he came on.

A few hours before showtime.
But yeah, the crowd thought it was ATB for a minute or two. Josh was a good sport about it...really funny guy as well.
