Above and Beyond at Best Buy Theater

Above and Beyond came to New York for their Group Therapy Tour and played at Best Buy Theater. Opening the night was Zack Roth with his mellow beats before Jaytech took the stage and got the crowd pumped up for Above and Beyond. A&B came out and open with a very mellow tune. Paavo and Jono started playing anjunabeat tunes such as Mat Zo's Superman and Ad Brown ft. Kerry Leva - Memorial (Maor Levi Club Mix) coupled with some other tracks such as Tiesto & Mark Knight's Beautiful World as well as their new and old tunes such as Breaking Ties, and their new single Thing Called Love.  The sad part was Jono had to leave because he wasn't feeling good so Paavo took over the next two hours and he surely had a mixed of tunes from Mat Zo & Arty's Rebound, Ferry Corsten's Punk (Arty Rock N Rolla Remix), Kyau and Albert's Be There For You (Mat Zo Remix), Super8 & Tab ft. Julie Thompson - My Enemy (Club Mix) and of course Sun and Moon. Paavo even dropped a classic - Paul van Dyk's Nothing But You. Paavo then closed out with their tune Sun In Your Eyes before coming back out and doing an encore. And surprisingly, I knew which tune it was before it was played - Above and Beyond pres. Oceanlab & Gareth Emery - "On A Good Day (Metropolis)"

Ferry Corsten at Best Buy Theater

Ferry Corsten was at Best Buy Theater on April 2, 2011 and his set was amazing. I had a chance to meet him before his set and he is a cool guy. He answered everyone's questions and even share a laugh or two with us. Afterwhich, I had a chance to watch his 4-hour set at the VIP area where Ferry dropped new and old tunes. He came out as Hardwell was ending his set with Cliff Coenraad's Oh!Mega (Bootyshakin Remix) and started off with Kyau and Albert's On My Way, Sander van Doorn's Koko and his new tune Feel It. His set was a great mix of vocal, progressive and uplifting tracks. He played Gareth Emery's Citadel (Super8 & Tab Remix), Markus Schulz ft. Jennifer Rene's Not the Same, Amuri ft. Melissa Loretta's Unconditional Love, Leon Bolier's Capetown, Sunny Lax's PUMA (Mat Zo Remix) and Yuri Kane ft. Melissa Loretta's Daylight (DJ Feel Remix) mixing it with his own tunes such as Once, Fire, Beautiful, Minack (tune he collaborated with Armin van Buuren) and Brain Box. He also had Betsie Larkin come out and sang Made Of Love live which was amazing. And for his encore, he played Radio Crush.

Good Deeds = Good Things

I always say that doing good deeds will lead to good things. I mean it doesn't happen all the time but it will eventually come back and give you good karma. Take for example two weeks ago, I was at Ultra Music Festival and Avicii was playing at the Main Stage. I was just behind the barricade when Avicii's assistant started handing out Avicii merchandises included shirt, button pins and CDs. I got a shirt easily and when he pass by again, I got a button pin. But I gave it to the girl behind me because she was trying to get one. She said "Thank You" and told her friends how nice I was giving it to her. That happen two weeks ago.

And here is were it led to a good thing. Last weekend I won  a contest from GenXGlow contest which I didn't expect to win. The prize - a Meet and Greet with Ferry Corsten, a Dutch DJ who was in town for a concert. Not only did I got a chance to meet him, I got him to sign his album as well as watch his show in the VIP area.

I also like stories of good deeds. Like a friend of mine who gave her pass so that her friend can see and take a picture with Ferry Corsten while he was at her town. So what I did, I got Ferry to sign an autograph for her because she was nice enough to sacrifice her chance to make her friend happy.

So you see, doing good deeds do lead to good things. It might not happen as soon as you do the deed but it will eventually happen
