The stage was standing behind a BIG projection screen. At 11:15, projection was on with some music and we could see an animation with DJ Tiesto and all this stuff, but it was blurred... put the glasses they gave you, and it turns into a 3D. Objects, animations and Tiesto are flying all around you in 3 dimensions, everything is almost touching you... it was amazing.
This was for almost an hour, and then the countdown was over. The projection screen is lifted away, stage is lighted and here comes the man dressed in white. Introduction starts by Forever Today. People screaming and shouting, you could barely stand in the arena, I bet there was, mmmm too much people
The stage and lighting cannot be described. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will post some pics when I organize them a bit. There was so much lighting material inside and lasers that ma3mal el zouk wouldn't handle it.
Now as for the music, as expected it was way too good to be true. Personally I think the sound and bass could have been a bit higher (this was corrected in the last part of the party, you could feel the pain in your ears), but quality was extremely good. Songs played are too many to remember or to know actually, some where new to me. He was able to keep the party going on for 7 hours non stop, all hard pure born trance, people dancing all the time non stop. Personally I couldn't, I had to take some breaks from time to time coz I wasn't even feeling my legs anymore.
Some of the tracks played were Forever Today, Love Comes Again, Traffic(remix), Nyana, Ur, Just Be (remix), Adagio For Strings, Euphoria, Athena, Olympic Flame, Lethal Industry, Smack My Bitch Up, Silence, .....He didn't play Ancient History although I was expecting him to play it
The show did not include only Tiesto. After every 2 hours or so they would include a show like performing magic (Tiesto was the actor and it worked), flame throwers, circus stuff, and dancing with snakes. Tiesto would be guiding the background of these, and then he picks it up to a higher level when they finish.
Aquarung were also there to perform Ur, a violinist was also there playing Tiesto's songs, with Tiesto performing the backgroud beat. It was simply amazing !!!!! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
I should mention the interaction of Tiesto with us, it was very good! This guy knows how to run the show. He was dancing and jumping most of the time and talking to his audience. He was so excited that he hit something and there was no sound for almost 3 min. He had to fix it by himself. I wish you could see his reaction when suddenly it was all quiet in the arena. He also had a bad vinyl skipping and he had to stop it and move to the next one, hehe bad luck but not such a big deal!
Ok guys, I just got home 30 min ago, I am dead tired, can't feel half of my body now. I hope you enjoyed the story although I am not in a good state now to know if it is good or bad or if I forgot important stuff to mention. Ah yeah, I got Tiesto In Concert T-Shirt too
btw where did the event took place ?!
