You said it all. Living in Tokyo I have seen many many shows including Deadmau5, Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten. I havent seen Tiesto, but if his shows are like any of the other big boys then thier is no talent or skill. Everything is pre-set and pretty bland all together. This takes away from the very essence of DJing. On the fly mixing and live performances also give opportunity to experiment with new music. In theory you shouldnt hear anything recorded unless its remixed. Take Steve Aoki or Shinichi Osawa thier recorded tracks are mediocre at best, but seeing them live was two of the best shows ive seen, they play for the crowd, which is why I support their music today. Im sorry but Tiesto is straight garbage.
