When Nicky Romero's edit was transitioned into so abruptly from Coming Home, everyone caught the drop and that's when the deck started to cave in. Yes, the venue literally broke from the weight of everyone jumping at the same time and security had to block off about a 6 ft by 6 ft circle around the caved in area. Luckily, they let the show go on but I believe that's why Avicii dropped Levels fairly early on, just in case he got shut down because of the deck breaking.
The weather started to get worse as the set went on and eventually it reached the point of a downpour. Many went inside but the real Avicii fans raged outside despite the monsoon. This was what really set the show apart for me as Avicii timed it perfectly, at the height of the storm, with his remix of Drowning. This absolutely killed it. I really can't phrase it any other way, it was just too perfect.
As the rain settled down again he dropped The Island (Steve Angello/Max Vangelli/AN21) and Starry Eyed (Max Vangelli/AN21 remix). From then on it was pretty mellowed out for the most part as everyone was drenched and freezing cold after the rain had stopped. The last song I remember him playing was the Porter Robinson remix of Seek Bromance, but of course earlier was his vocal extended mix of it.
Definitely check him out the next time you can (which in NYC would be at Provocateur on 6/16 or at Governor's Island in July). He is one DJ that I would be more than willing to see another show of and of course I am always on the look out for any of his new material. Thank you Avicii for a fantastic show. P.S. Release your Penguin Vocal Mix as soon as possible, I'd appreciate it.
