Last week, Hammerstein Ballroom was home to two of the best shows that NYC has experienced so far. Tiësto rocked the city, showcasing exactly why he has been lauded as the world's best and most widely known DJ again and again. Both nights were sold out, but that didn't stop the line of hopeful fans from queuing up early, hoping to come across a ticket or two.
This pair of Tiësto In Concert shows had stage production that could only be compared to a stadium rock concert. The evening was complete with fireworks and a tandem performance of the Blue Man Group, offering something for everyone. The music comprised in the solid five hour solo set was well programmed and seamlessly constructed, and included his latest remixes of Imogen Heap, Snow Patrol and Jose Gonzales. Throughout his set he showcased new music from his album, Elements of Life utilizing the Elements as the core of the show, submersing the entire audience in an unforgettable experience.
Next up are a string of dates for North America that line up through October of this year, with more gigs to be announced. The only other Tiësto In Concert show for this year in N. America will be in Los Angeles on August 11th at the LA Sports Arena, and if you can make it there, you should. The production, the music, the people - it is an event that must be seen to experience it - everyone should.
