I just had to make the long trip to see Paul Van Dyk, but I felt a little underwhelmed. The venue didn't feel as intimate as some of the other ones. The lighting setup was only alright. Also, I thought there weren't enough of the old school, mega classic original trance tracks Paul Van Dyk produced. But when the best one of all came on - 'For An Angel', it was rather glorious! EVERYONE was into it! The lights started working their magic, too, and it was definitely my moment of the night. In any case, I'd still likely go see PVD again. I'm hoping to hear more of his classics sometime! P.S. Sorry about the picture quality. It's the best I could do with an old phone.

went to see paul van dyk.. bottom line, the show sucked. in fact, my friends and i didnt even stick around to see van dyk play. the opening djs played for way too long, there was a mess of weirdos in the crowds, and my friend got sick from this odd mixture of smoke flowing through the venue. would definitely fight to get my money back. so not work the 100 bucks!

From beggining to end this show was a rave. The music went from good and maybe 10 people actually dancing to amazing and getting the building shakin in a matter of hours. Paul Van Dyk took the stage at the Rave on June 21st and it was AMAZING. We arrived and the previous djs were laying out the downbeats and loops, a chick had gotten herself on stage and was "dancing" and we started to dance ourselves. I must say the chick on stage kinda reuined it a bit for me cuz she COULDNT DANCE. It was sad, but ultimately that disappointment disappeared when i saw the reflection of paul van dyk's face behind the screen. It was so much fun watching him rock out like we were and have fun doing what he does best. Overall, this was a great event that I would suggest to anyone. I am excited for the techno beatz to return once again on new years and cannot wait to see an amazing artist like Paul again. :)

Excellent sets by both PVD and the opening DJ. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show, and the drugged out 'raver' kiddies weren't out in force.

Totally disappointed. Listening to random dj's for 4 hours straight and then Van Dyk performed only for like an hour, played new tracks. Would not go again.

Very close quarters in this old small vintage theater, but that just made it more fun. The music and the crowd were excellent. I have seen PVD 4 times before. Ibiza was the best, but this was the second best.

This was quite possibly one of the best shows I have been to in my life. Not only was Terminal 5 the perfect venue (being that it used to be EXIT, a great club), but the crowd was perfect as well. Although at times it felt over-crowded, I never had a problem finding a spot to dance. The energy that PVD brings to his shows is unmatched. HIGHLY recommend.

Title pretty much says it all, the music of both the opener and PVD was absolutely insane, unfortunately, i dont know what was up witht he lighting, I could count on one hand the number of times strobe was used... and this music practically screams strobe light half the time, and when the drops came the lighting stayed the same as it would have been if there had never been a drop.

Paul van Dyk was awesome as always; however, he finished playing at 2:00 AM on the nose, which is really early. Last time I saw him in NYC at Roseland Ballroom instead of Terminal 5 and I left around 3:30 AM, he was still playing.

I went in thinking it was gonna be some good dance, some ok music. And i didnt want my buddies to be dissapointed, and PvD showed up. All the music was good, everyone was having a good time, and PvD knew how to wow an audience. Definately go, but there was still a lot of 15 yr old boys running around, but enough girls to balance it out. I recommend bringing a date

Paul Van Dyk absolutely killed it the other night. There were a few technical mishaps but they still didn't stop me from having an amazing time. There's a reason why he's one of the top DJs in the world and why he's been in the business for so long. Since the show I can't stop listening to his music again. Terminal 5 is one of my favorite venues in the city. The sound system is superb and the layout is great. The show was sold out and there were plenty of people but it was never too crowded to enjoy the show and no matter where you are, the view of the stage is excellent. The only things that are stopping me from giving the show a 5/5 are: it started too early at 8PM (i missed the beginning of his set because i assumed he would be on later) and the coat room was filled to capacity so everyone's coats were all over the 2nd and 3rd floors. In the end, it was probably better because we didn't have to pay to check our coats.

There is a reason that Paul Van Dyke is a god around the world. He is so good at what he does and you can tell by his smiling and his dancing that he loves doing it. His beats are insaneeeee and he just keeps them coming, always mixing it up and making the crowd go crazy. The one complaint I had were the bathroom lines at Terminal 5 and the fact that when you bought water bottles at the bar they were $4 and they took away the lids so that you couldn't refill them in the bathroom. A lot of people roll at these events and water is really crucial...so that's uncool. Otherwise the show was fucking incredible

This was my first rave I ever went to so that made it exciting...until I got there. I liked the music but the setting was so small. The floor was set up more for like a movie theatre or opera so it wasn't much fun for dancing around in a big group. It was more of a bar scence than what a typical rave should be. Laser lights were ok. The chicks dancing were definitely hot. Probably the best part about it.

For anyone who is into Electro/Trance/House this is the place to go, definitely worth the money!! People from all ages came and were really nice, attire was amazing people also came dressed up as ravers <3 Just don't forget to bring glowsticks and a happy face and your set to go!

I'm used to the annual PVD show in august as being better than the last. each year is consistently better than the last, with the exception of the current year. thats not to say it was a bad show, as it did not disappoint. the last two years, however, had a strong emphasis on live vocals and the trademark laser show. the laser show was non existent this year, and the only live vocalist was Vega 4. in short, this show was still better than most i've seen all year, but it was not as good as the august PVD shows i have grown accustomed to.

I have seen pvd at central park, amongst many other places, every year since he started back in '03, this was hands down the most AMAZING set he has ever spun there, he was SO into it this year. Sometimes when he spins he gets very serious and has little interaction with the crowd, but he was chillin with us last night! Everything was perfect, the sound was awesome, the lights were amazing, it didn't even rain - i kinda wished it would for a minute though, the 2 back up guys he had with the drums rocked it - and that dude who sings time of our lives has a really good live singing voice, he was spot on singing live to a dj. Anyway i have seen pvd all over the world & must say he f'in KILLED it last night!! I HEART PAUL VAN DYK

The Sunshine theatre is an icon in my town. Some really good acts come and perform here all the time. But a show like his deserves a much larger scene. there was really not enough space to get busy and jam out the way that you should at that type of show. Its really hard to do the Melborne shuffle inside a sardine can. Then I thought, well maybe there's not enough people in this town to fill a larger venue. But since then, I've been to three raves with acts that have nothing on PVD, and the scene was BANANAS! So I think that if you build it, they will come. there are at least two other larger, well equiped spots in the area that would have made for an awesome event. Still, the scene was safe, chill, and Paul showed us a great time. Thanks for bringing him out. I hope to see more house in the house in the future.

I thought he'd play more notable tunes while here but I guess he had to play to the crowd. Where I live now (Albuquerque, NM) the crowd likes more house it seems. I'm a huge Trance fan and would have liked to hear more of that genre. Go Robert Nickson!! Also the soundstage hands had the VOLUME cranked WAY TOO LOUD. I couldn't enjoy it soo much cause my ears were killing me. It was impossible to hear the person next to me nor a thing for the next 2 days. There's really no need to have it at that volume, don't you think? They need to sell ear plugs at these events.

So glad we got to be the first city on the Dreamstate tour! Incredible vibes, great sound, and the sets of all artists were on point, with classics reworked in unexpected ways and very satisfying progression of energy. I only wish the Dreamstate production/visuals were in use all night instead of just during pvd set. While it made us interact more with each other as a crowd, when the alternative was looking at the HOB logo, the visuals were so stunning when Paul played it made me wish we could have seen more.

If you loved his older stuff, PvD's visit to Terminal 5 may have caught you a bit off guard - in the good way. Showing his penchant for innovation, PvD played across the EDM genres, at times accompanied by a female vocalist, and churned out bass beats after bass beats until half past midnight. Make sure you see him when he comes to your town!

First time seeing Paul Van Dyk was amazing. The first two artists were just ok, I'm pretty sure they were just local DJs, but as soon as the third DJ got on stage it got good. The third DJ was full of energy and getting the crowd pumped up. Being front row was awesome too. When Paul came on stage, people went nuts and he was great. He played from 12:30-2:30 and every thing was awesome. He had great transitions from one song to the next and was great at editing the songs live and making mash-ups. I wish some more people had come out because he is a legend. All in all it was a great time and I would definently go out and see Paul again anytime. The best was when he came to the front row and took pictures with people in the front row, he is definently a crowd pleaser and knows how to give back to his fans, GREAT time.

Hands down one of the best concerts I've ever seen in my life. For a true fan of EDM (electronic dance music) Paul Van Dyk is a legend and a German national treasure. He interacts with the crowd like no other DJ I've ever seen. He is incredibly charismatic and a total crowd pleaser. If he had been playing at Pacha, I'm sure the set would have lasted until 8 in the morning. He played all his most recognizable songs, all with flawless transitions. This man knows what he's doing. Great Show.

Terminal 5 is a really cool venue. Many places now only allow 18+ or 21+ but Terminal 5 usually has all ages. It's nice that i can go to see the artists i want to see at least at Terminal 5. That said, Paul van Dyk's set was really good. His seamless harmonic mixing from trance to electro to techno in 3 hours was really cool! i also enjoyed his live editing utilizing Ableton not just for auto beatmatching but making live mashups as well.

Before this event I would have never imagined that PVD could be disappointing, but it happened. I've seen PVD on numerous occasions in the past 5 years or so, and his shows were always awesome. His show at UMF in Miami this year was the bomb. But this time I guess he was trying to take his music in a different direction. He totally lost me with the live drummers. It was very annoying to hear him slow down and turn down the music because the friggin drummers couldn't keep up. I didn't feel it all, and it seemed like a lot of people in the audience felt the same way, because people were talking and weren't really captivated. And the biggest let-down was when it looked like the drummers were done and PVD started to play his own thing (what I was waiting for), so I really got into it, and then PVD just dropped the intensity again back to the drummers. At that point I was pissed. Left the show almost 2 hours early. I couldn't take the frigging drummers anymore. PVD, I never thought that I would be saying this, but you have disappointed me.

The overall concert was fine, but there was a huge line ten minutes before starting. I ended up getting inside almost one hour after it had started. The set was nice, but the sound was a little bit low. It was better in the middle, but too crowded there.

PAUL VAN DYK's SHOW was awesome! I had the pleasure of meeting him before he did his six o'clock show he was great meeting his fans and posing for pictures. I think that this venue is best for PVD, his music was great and he had one drummer and another guy playing the conga's just like his video in MUSIC DISCOVERY PROJECT and the singer for the song HOME is great. The lighting show was off the hook there is nothing more that I can saw about PVD his live shows are better than anything he puts out on CD. The only sticking point that I have was that there should have been more bathrooms waiting on line for over a half an hour is not acceptable and also they were only selling BROOKLYN BEER and no liquor , plus they did not accept credit cards.

Overall this was a great show. He had a great visual show this year. I give him total respect for trying something new in the genre by having both the percussionist and drummer on stage for the whole set. I do feel they were a bit much at times though, especially for the first hour. It felt as though I was at a jungle show rather than the trance one I had gone to see. The other major criticism I had at the show was the sound system. Many times throughout the night it seemed like the volume was very low or that part of the soundtrack was missing. Once he did get into his normal groove though the energy of the crowd really picked up. He played many of his classic hits as well as quite a few tracks by other artists that I hadn't heard from him before. So although this was not my favorite PVD show I still had a great time and would highly recommend any fan of his make the trek to one of his annual Central Park shows at least once.

Paul van Dyk did it again - he's simply the world's best DJ, leaving Tiesto and Armin behind. Yet another well built set in NYC (although without "NYC Night" and "Let Go"...shame). The best DJ performer today.

First off the price of ticket was wonderful, second it was in lovely central park, Just wish it had started ON TIME, not 2hours later. I really would love if PVD did that same gig again soon, I wanted to stay longer but since it started late couldnt ; ; PLEASE PLAY THERE AGAIN SOON, the cost is PERFECT to those who can't afford higher plus its a wonderful place to have a show at. PLEASEEEE gracias <3 guy on the congas/other instruments was AWESOME, it really added a spanish beat which i was surprised to hear with Dyk's songs.

The night was amazing. It rained all day but somehow PVD's performance would have made me stay even if it rained all night , which it didn't. His mixes were hot , the musician's that accompanied him were fabulous, never skipped a beat. This night will play on for a very long time....

I love Paul van Dyk's shows and this show was good but not great. The reason is it's too slow and not much hard PVD beats... So I give it 3 stars

Paul Van Dyk's central park show is awesome. The whole experience make me speechless. The music are great, from the newest songs in between mixed with the oldest songs. It is the greatest experience ever, once of my life time.

THE EVENT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS FOR US! WE HAD A GREAT TIME! Can't wait till next year! :) The only thing that bothered us was the doors were suppose to open at 4:30pm and didn't open until almost 6pm.

I have seen pvd the last four years in NYC. I have also seen him in Miami during wmc. My friend and I went and we weren't impressed with his show compared to his other performances. His show just didn't seem as intense as her previous shows. Overall pvd is good, but something lacked. We even left early.

Paul Van Dyk was very good live, unfortunately though he neglected to play some of my favorite tracks such as "Crush" and "White Lies." Though he held the audiences attention with his music, I would have been happy to see him engage with the crowd more as he did not utter one word to the hundreds of people who came to see him.

This was my first PVD conert. I loved it because it was outdoors and the music was great and they had an area where one could sit. Never mind that they had too few toilettes and the wait was literraly an hour long...

Great performance by the master in electronic/dance music Paul van Dyk. The idea of the percussionists was also great. The appearance of John McDaid was suprisingly good.

Been a huge fan of PvD for years, seen him live in NYC the last 5 years in addition to Ultra and other misc events. Was psyched to see him live this year and was totally let down. The live drummers he had playing with him messed up the beats and completely ruined the show. PvD has never let me down before, always had amazing shows but my friends and I walked out more than an hour early on this one, it was horrible. It was very clear the real long-term PvD fans in the audience were very disappointed with this show - I spoke with more than 10 people who agreed. PvD - if you're reading this, you're a musical genius and I like to see you exploring new things but please, ditch those drummers and give us your classic amazing PvD trance. We missed YOU last night. Will see you New Years Eve in NYC at the Roseland, I hope your back to yourself by then.
