Ok, so I like Techno, more specifically Trance. Unfortunately, the US, it's let's just say... a bit behind in that department. If you ever hear such music on the radio, or even in the street, let me know (for instance, in Australia, I heard great Techno in even a waterslide park of all places).
Anyway, at least, with San Francisco nearby, I've had some opportunities to see some great DJs, even if at least at 1015, I've often been disappointed by what they played compared to their usual sets (it's been better overall at Ruby Skye in the recent years).

Over time, I've seen many of my favorite DJs across the world, whether it was locally, in New York City, Canada, Australia, and of course Ibiza, and at Halloween 2004, I finally attended some great local parties that proved that you could get the good stuff locally too (even if all the artists came from other countries .
That said, I ended up finding out that some of my favourite DJs who put out great CDs and mixes, unfortunately mixed mostly boring tunes when I saw them live. That was quite a disappointment, but I have been hanging on for the few times where some DJs did actually play great live sets). It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it

2009/11/21 DJ Tiësto @ Cow Palace

It had been a little while since I saw Tijs. He was back for a his US Kaleidoscope tour. I didn't have a good reason not to go check it out :)

In a nutshell, it was not to the level of his former "Tiësto in concert" tours. It was not bad presentation-wise, but replacing live lyric singers doing their tunes live by a video screen with somewhat poor resolution.
Ok, that and the fact that most of the tunes he played, weren't so good or to my liking, but eh, it was still a good evening :)

kaleidoscope tour/the intro video was nice

the video screens were nice-ish, but the resolution quite poor and the rendering not so good

looks like old 200 lines interlaced CRTs we used to have :)

it was nice to see the singers during their song, but as nice as live appearances

yes, he thinks he looks cool in big. I suppose that's somewhat true :)

Tiësto finished with his signature tune, Adagio for Strings:
