Concert Report: Cosmic Gate (Firestone Live)

Cosmic Gate was on my list to see when they performed a couple months ago at Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando but I was at a different stage surrounded by thousands and it was not possible to make it over to their stage. So I jumped at the chance to see them at Firestone Live last night!
The outside Patio was crowded listening to a great set by DJ Evo (Lost In Trancelation, Bikkuri Lounge, Suite B Lounge).
While inside the club's Den we found DJ K8 (NLP, High Society Lounge, Suite B Lounge).
And then DJ duo Claus Terhoven & Stefan Bossems better known as Cosmic Gate (D) came on at 12:30am!
They opened with nearly a half-hour of non-vocal Trance.
As you can see, the club was packed!
And when they switched to Vocal Trance, the place really got excited!  The duo was formed in the late 90's and it's great seeing an entire new generation appreciating them!
They would play until after 2:30am and the crowd never thinned-out!
They're currently ranked 80th in the world.  When DJMag asked them whether Dance music had become the new Pop, their response was “We think it has. As Dance lovers we all should stay positive about it. After all, it’s better than only Hip-hop or Rock on the radio, right?”
Cosmic Gate also played Orlando one year ago at smaller club RoxyLink.
Spotted: ShannonHTG with friend.
This is where all that fancy lighting is controlled from.
Spotted: DJ J13 (Lost In Trancelation, Bikkuri Lounge, Suite B Lounge).
HTG's sound system was fantastic.....and loud!
Renovations have been made inside Firestone so that sight lines of the stage from the near corners have improved.
A good time was had by all!

Their set ended at 2:35AM and the crowd demanded an encore. I didn't think they would....or could. But they did.  And it went on until 2:45AM!
Amazing set and a good time was had by all!

Concert Report: Cosmic Gate (Roxy)

Roxy Night Club consistently brings in world class DJ's and has a long list of well-known names coming to play here!
Last night opening DJ Robb Blak (Lost In Trancelation, Bikkuri Lounge, Suite B Lounge) was in the booth when I arrived.
He was playing a mostly non-vocal Trance set including this song of his own that he had just recently finished producing.  Will try to get a link to it.
The crowded club was really responding to his set!
Blak had opened for DJ/Producer ATB (D) during my last visit to Roxy!
Waiting for Cosmic Gate!
Cosmic Gate is German DJ duo Claus Terhöven (left) and Stefan Bossems (center).
They came on at 12:30am this morning and did not start slow!
Blowing the crowd away with W&W's "Lift Off!"
Considering they do concerts all the time, they were both quite animated!
Of course we're all happy to be in Orlando!
Nearly all their song selections had vocals, mixing both House and Trance.
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls!
Upper deck packed too.  Another German DJ, Thomas Gold, plays here next Thursday night!
Reid Speed (USA) plays here on February 12th!
The place remained crowded well-beyond 2am!
Giving it up for Trance!
And a good time was had by all!
