Here's a small suggestion I posted on my blog about improving the toilet situation at BeB, I hope they change it for the better next year:
One thing that I'd like to state, and this is important: the bathroom situation for women needs to change for the better next year, full stop. My girlfriend and I bought a regular ticket and was astonished to see only two bathrooms with two toilets each for women in the entire venue! For an event that probably had close to 15,000 to 20,000 attendees having only 4 toilets total for women for regular ticket holders is a real shame. The bathrooms were great for guys as we had 3 urinals plus 2 toilets and I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to go but for women the wait could have been up to 30-45 minutes based on the lineups. Adding a few temporary toilets could have saved us all a lot of hassle.
Overall it was a very fun night, hats off to everyone that created such a nice vibe.

Saw a 5'3 tall Chinese guy collapse on the trance floor and starfish on the ground without moving for a solid 2 minutes. He did not move, at all. But then he quickly woke up again and stood up like nothing happened. Weird.

Late review on my part as usual !
There are bang-on reviews already posted and my experience was quite similar to others.
I put on my mesh top with 4 battery-powered strobbing green EL wires, and front and centre for DT!
My g/f and I hit the party at 330ish (after a nice disco nap), and it was a bit unreal, with zero line-up for tickets, security and coat check. I figured that most people would have wanted to see Van Buuren and the rush was likely just before he went on at 2. AVB was playing some ok trance, but nothing spectacular. My plan was to be there for Markus Schulz's opening at 5, so we wandered back and forth between the house and trance rooms, trying to find the least offensive sounds (and to meet up with our friends). Schulz did not disappoint, with epic builds, some classic anthems and even a remix of Tenaglia's ``be yourself`` - very tastefully done, I pretty much lost it at that point! At 7:15, I suggest to our crew that it's time to venture back to the house room for Tenaglia's grand intro at 7:30. Fedde Le Grand was just before him and went until about 7:45 and he could not go off soon enough. It was time to put the Havarti and Mozzarella back in the fridge. When Tenaglia could be seen on stage, there was an instant air of intense anticipation. He played some dark noise for about a minute - no one knew where this was going...then BANG - earth-shattering deep rumbling dirty basslines and full-on tech-house madness until noon! He brought us on a tribal trip, a very few vocal voyages and a sprinkling of classic choons thrown in for good measure! I could barely leave the dancefloor his entire set. The energy level for Tenaglia was through the roof, lots of Stereoheads, oldschoolers and friendly faces. Schultz too had a super vibe and no fillers / cheese. All in all, a fantastic party (vibe, sound, lights, organization), stayed until the last track and Tenaglia came and danced with us during that track, got to shake his hand and thank him for another legendary set. Also bumped into him in the hallway, and asked him when he's next at the Temple and he said ``where's the Temple`` ? with a big grin on his face !
This the only other clip of DT I could find online (I don't know the track ID, but sounds like a grinding anthem from several yrs back):

Whaaaaat, that's Daft Punk - Alive!! Probably my favorite from the first album.. Didn't expected that to play at BeB.
The Highroller
I'm surprised there are not more videos of DT @ BeB online. There were quite a few people taking videos.

trancevestites love taking and posting vids it seems.
Good party, mainly thanks to some deft slotting of Markus and Danny, two most dynamic djs were slotted so you could catch both, I think that may have been done by design?
If you want an even better party next year, I suggest we give someone like vicious d-ds this thread again to take back to her bosses few months before the actual event. Few things could be tweaked here and there and then eventually you may get that close to perfect party.
So who do you guys think will be the 'gateway' djs next year? You know, the ones they use to move tix? This year it was clearly Armin and Angello but at this point, and in a case of lesser of two evils, I would even take Above and Beyond and Guetta over those two, I really didn't think they did a whole lot to solidify the BeB brand like say Schulz and Tenaglia did, imo. Next year I do the smart thing and show up at 3AM :p
