The event in itself was <b>INTENSE!!</b>
the arena was designed just like Armin's concert 2 years ago, and the fans really didn't know what to expect, and how.
At first, 4 giant screens covered the stage with lighting effects and loopy cityscape scenes were projected. It wasn't until midnight that these gigantic screens rotated to become the stage's wallpaper of effects and colourful variations that provided a visual accent to Armin's music.
The lighting was great, the lasers were astounding and numerous, let alone the projectors that were scattered all over the place.
The performers did a great job as well. From vocalists to dancers to musicians, they were greatttt. Sometimes, vocals or instruments wouldn't be easily heard from the music played by Armin, such as his brother's guitar solo, but i wouldn't consider it as a negative point; just a point to consider.
Armin played alot of his tunes. As always, his interaction with his surroundings made him the special DJ we love so much. From direct filming his audience to ushering them to clap, cheer, shout, raise the cell phones (Sea of Light), and his friendliness with his fellow artists really showed.
Overall, it was a night to remember. I hoped they would film this like in '05, but i guess that was out of the question. I heard rumors of audience reaching 15,000-20,000 , but i wasn't in the mood to calculate/count, but i doubt that number was right.
