well, you two certainly have a certain perspective
I suppose I don't quite see why you both care so much about the restrooms and all that; maybe it's just that youthful, reckless energy, though I can't say for sure🙂
The whole "as long as the music is good, nothing else matters" philosophy works fine enough for small club nights in cramped spaces with filthy bathrooms—where things can hardly be any worse than they already are
but when someone organizes a massive festival like this one, the logistics really ought to be top-tier for a few specific reasons
primarily so people actually feel like coming back to an event run by the same promoter (personally, I know I won't) and to keep tensions from boiling over while everyone is stuck standing in lines for half an hour

It feels like this production either ran into some major snags or they were just being far too cheap to provide, say, twenty more portable toilets, or perhaps they claimed the music would go until dawn when they actually shut everything down by 2 AM... I mean... I think you really have to demand more for what you pay. If you settle for this, organizers will just keep lowering their standards and giving you less value than what you actually paid for

Well, my dear hiddensailor74, thank you for the compliment, though if you must call it "youthful recklessness," I suppose I moved past that phase about ten years ago when I was twenty; back then, I was just so desperate to finally get to a real party that I didn't even bother worrying about how well everything was organized. Thank God there wasn't any rain, which meant no smoke or other unpleasantness—just a nice open-air vibe👍.
I suppose you have a point that they could have put in more effort, but in my view, the music and the general atmosphere are the core elements; everything else is secondary, I guess

So, honestly, the set was incredible—way better than Guetta’s. I mean, Slim is just on a completely different level when it comes to being a DJ and actually knowing how to work a crowd. Even the Wall Street vibe was there with the lighting; the whole light show was top-tier, definitely more sophisticated than that loud, obnoxious Guetta production.
Personally, I wasn't even bothered by the lack of restrooms or any of those little hiccups. The energy stayed electric the entire time, which was a massive contrast to that concert last week where it felt like half the people only showed up to be seen; they clearly had zero clue about this kind of music and spent the whole night just grumbling.
I read somewhere that he didn't even play a bis, but look, people, he basically wrapped things up with Satisfaction-Rockafeller Skunk, took a bow, and shut it down, only to come right back out and drop two more tracks once we started screaming for more. In my opinion, he did everything perfectly from his side, and if someone can't see that or just wants to nitpick every tiny detail, maybe they shouldn't be attending shows like this in the first place.
All in all:🙏👍
