on wednesday, march 30, tiësto occupied the valarium stage and played music for the crowd to dance to. it seemed surreal to think that he was actually in knoxville.
when a friend told me he was scheduled for knoxtropolis, i didn’t believe it was really him. after confirming it, i looked at the time, the price…i could pull this off. i mean, he’s actually going to be in my home town. i had considered seeing him in atlanta in the past. that was the closest i’d ever imagined getting to a concert of his.
so, i worked out the details and went. great concert! i wasn’t aware anyone else in knoxville listened to any trance music, but i was surprised at the turnout of tiësto fans. he started playing around 11:00p and was still going strong near 1:30a when i left. (i wish i could have stayed the whole time, but it was a school night, and i don’t do well after 10:30p normally.)
it was a large sound for a small place. the crowd loved him. being as young as most of them were, they continued to dance the whole time. i’m not much of a dancer, so i played it…more toned down…where i was. i had a good spot to enjoy the evening. check out the pictures. and there were some videos posted on youtube. i’ve included a couple of links after the pictures.
