Paul Van Dyk-disappointing

I was really excited to see PVD for the very first time. Unfortunately the whole thing was lacking something. There was no light show to speak of, a small uninspired video screen back drop and the music (which I love usually-I have many PVD CDs) was all monotone with no big build ups and excitement. Paul himself seemed less than enthusiastic to be there. The lines for the toilets were insanely ridiculous. The VIP area was situated where people couldn't even see the stage (and one toilet for all the VIPs huh?). The percussionist was a breath of fresh air-he was very smiley and having lots of fun. Headed to Club Love afterwards to see Andy Moor which by huge contrast was completely awesome.

great price and great performance.... once it started. it wasnt clear what time the actual PVD show would start. on a sunday it sucked that he didnt come on stage until midnight. not everybody is a student or lives in milwaukee. DJs prior to him wasnt that phenomenal either.

The line to get in was sooo long that Paul Van Dyk actually started before most could get in... by the tiem we did get in, there was very few people in there... so why such a long wait? Seriously, the concert ruined before it even started.
Paul played a few good titles but I didn't think it got the crowd going the way he should... thumbs up to him though, he is good.
I left wishing it had been Roger Sanchez instead...

It was an overcast day the kind that you sleep through after an evening of chicanery with rain in the air. He rocked Central park with an energy that had us all hanging on each beat. The percussionists were also great and I especially enjoyed the singer for the finale. I wish it had lasted longer but the rules of Central Park forbid shows to last past ten pm. I met some people from Canada and Boston and we vowed to see him when he goes to their Cities.
Paul Van Dyk Rocks!

I'd never been to Rumsey Playfield nor to a Paul Van Dyk concert. I've never even seen anything similar to Paul Van Dyk live before, though I have plenty of live copies of songs.
The venue, I wasn't really expecting, but it was gorgeous and I loved it! Rumsey Playfield is gorgeous and the perfect place in the city for an outdoor concert. I'm definately keeping my eyes peeled for other concerts to see playing down there. It was plenty of room and i loved the fact there were bleachers and then standing room so you could sit and move back to seats when they were available. Food and Drink were reasonable considering the type of vendor. I bought a bottle of water for 2 bucks! I think though the eco friendly chick in me could have done without seeing the amount of wasted plastic cups and then the people with the postcard ad's and then watching people 2 seconds after taking one littering the ground.
Paul Van Dyk was GREAT. Loved the music, the bass sounded so amazing. It shook the bleachers. The light show and projector had be mesmerized from the get go, and I spent a lot of time with eyes glued seeing what beautiful animation could be next. I liked that he mixed in some toher familiar music into his stuff. I also loved the many attempts to get everyone involved, even though ti seemed everyone was too far drunk to get involved at that point. The singer ( thought I don't know who that was) was really great, however I think he was the most successful at getting energy from the crowd. watching the diverse crowd was also very great at this concert. Having recently been to a Flogging Molly concert, that kind of band has a particular niche, Paul Van Dyk brings a much more diverse crowd and it was really neat to see people of different ages and backgrounds around together enjoying good music. I think my only complaint might have been the fact that he played a lot of straight music, none of the songs of his I know with the great vocal tracks, and missed those songs.

The PVD event was absolutely amazing!
My sister came to NYC for the first time. She loves Paul Van Dyk, therefore we decided to go to this open air event in Central Park.
It was great because of the location at the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. It was also special because it started late afternoon and it was getting dark at the same time that we enjoyed the awesome music.
I would love to see Tiesto or Armin Van Buuren at the same location.

"So, we stopped the rain," said Johnny McDaid before closing Paul van Dyk's 2009 Central Park set with their triumphant new song "Home." It may have drizzed a little bit, but even if it would have rained, I would not have left because it was an amazing show! Paul van Dyk mixed everything I wanted to hear from Depeche Mode's "Peace," Lily Allen's "The Fear," to Fatboy Slim's "Star 69," and he made us sing the melody of MGMT's "Kids," which actually isn't very easy to sing and we did it! Definitely want to see Paul van Dyk live in Central Park again!

When I got to the event at 5 p.m. the line seemed huge and it turned out to be an hour and a half wait in that line. Paul van Dyk started mixing while 100's of people were still waiting in that horrible line. At 6 30 we were finally inside but the music didn't even catch my attention. I was expecting something more vocal from a TRANCE DJ, but it turned out to be a house event. Being as energized as i was i didn't even feel like dancing cause his music didn't make sense. He mixed as if he came out on stage for the first time. He didn't even know how to put a song together, he would go from a nice melody to a straight up house beat with no transition. I left after 2 hours because I just could not stand his music anymore and I regret that I spent 75 dollars on his event. I'm never attending any of his events again.

Glad the weather held out. Awesome seeing/hanging out with my friends! I liked the music selection. Set had a nice flow. Great hearing some real classics---especially We're Alive!!!! Worst part was the live precussion all night. A little overboard on that. Everytime the drummer played the sound would get lower in order to level things out so the drums were not over powered. It took away from the music quite a bit.

Music was awesome, but line to get in (even for ticket holders) was nearly 1 hour. Lighting was nice, but there were no lasers at all this year (quite ashame) and the show itself lasted only until 10 pm. No encores. The people that were there were fairly well behaved, but it's sad seeing all these really young kids (both men and women) totally messed up on too many drugs.
