As with the Oakey set, burners got a treat with two of the greatest Trance DJs two days in a row. It's funny because I had no idea I'd get to see Tiësto before being at Burning Man, and I had just seen him two weeks prior at his Tiësto in Concert in LA.

Anyway, this is the kind of set that you have to experience to believe it. The music was of course great, but half the experience was being at Burning Man with people dancing around fires, art cars, people with costumes, or without , and having the mix be a fter the Man Burn until sunrise.
It was just awesome (see this page for details on Burning Man 2005)

I went to Burning Man like the last 3 years, except that we really got a treat: Oakey and Tiësto played there. You can read my Burning Man 2005 report for lots of pictures and details on the event.
But in a nutshell, it was payday for Trance Lovers, as Armin would say: Oakey and Tiësto's appearances were not really widely announced, which is good as it kept the attendance to Burning Man attendees, as opposed to people who might have attended Burning Man mostly unprepared and as tourists, just to see those two start DJs.
Anyway, Oakey did a very enjoyable set, especially for his fans like me who recognized all the tracks he played from his 1996 debut with Dragonfly, a Voyage into Trance. All I can say is thank you so much Oakey.

(note that most are dark and coarse grained because you mostly can't take flash pictures at Burning Man due to the dust that is flying everywhere in the air. Also, Oakey was smiling and having a great time, I just got unlucky on most of the pictures I took)
