DJ Tiesto at XS on Jan. 7, 2012.
Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012 | 10:53 a.m.
Superstar DJ Tiësto made history Wednesday night when his CES party performance at XS became Twitter's first live streaming concert. The Weekly's Mark Adams and lots of others around the world celebrated by—what else?—watching the feed and live-tweeting. Here are some of Mark's Tweets, followed by some he collected in real time.
@MARKinlasvegas Apparently the 10:15 time I was told for #TiestoLive was pushed back to 10:45. I know it'll be streaming for 48 hours after, but really?
@MARKinlasvegas Okay I am way confused. No video stream, but there's definitely a DJ set happening. Is it the opener? Some direction please @HP #TiestoLive
@MARKinlasvegas Apparently the #TiestoLive show is now beginning at 11 p.m. Hey @Tiesto, where are you?
@MARKinlasvegas Experiencing some issues with the #TiestoLive stream. Am I alone?
@MARKinlasvegas If this game of freeze dance doesn't end before @Tiesto takes the booth for #TiestoLive, I'm not going to be happy. #RealTalk
@MARKinlasvegas And after an intro with extensive @HP product placement, @Tiesto is #InTheBooth #TiestoLive
@MARKinlasvegas & about the @HP product placement, is this really the target market? "Built for business" & #EDM together. Who would have known #TiestoLive
@MARKinlasvegas So everyone is digging @Tiesto's version of "Promises." I heard bits and pieces. I have a good connection but #ThisIsAnnoying #TiestoLive
@MARKinlasvegas At least @XSlasvegas is packed on a Wednesday...that's one for the #economy! #Vegas #TiestoLive #EDM
@MARKinlasvegas Hey clubgoers at @XSlasvegas: when the volume lowers & the tempo slows, do something besides just standing there. #Vegas advice #TiestoLive
@MARKinlasvegas The theme from Dawson's Creek is playing on the overhead satellite radio while I watch #TiestoLive...interesting combination of sounds.
@MARKinlasvegas I love love LOVE that the #TiestoLive feed has been focusing on showing exactly what @Tiesto does. Legit #EDM
@MARKinlasvegas So @Tiesto just dropped @EmpireOfTheSun at #TiestoLive and that's my jam. Rave the night away for me, #CES folk. #LivingVicariously #Jealous
@MARKinlasvegas Confetti showers during Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain"...how fitting. #TiestoLive
@MARKinlasvegas Okay so the abrupt ending wasn't so awesome, but the event was pretty cool. Even cooler? The show trended worldwide. #TiestoLive
@JSMartinII That was like stopping sex right before...well...you know... #TiestoLive...not long enough for sure
@piskov1992 Why the F*CK IS ANYBODY SLEEPING AT A TIME LIKE THIS WHEN #VEGAS IS PARTYING #TIESTOLIVE
@FunnyJokes99 currently watching #tiestolive. why isnt anyone dancing? i would be raging my brains off
@JLuong62 dang i think alcohol is finally kicking in for the crowd #tiestolive lol
@ArtJonak Tiësto is killing it! The #CES2012 crowd... c'mon now, let loose! Don't video the moment... LIVE IT! #PutDownTheCamerasAndDance #TiestoLive
@sesilsermeno i wish i could be at #tiestolive so i could show this crowd how to properly behave when tiesto is djing. pffffttt!
@Zenidala something about this #tiestolive concert is making me strangely uncomfortable, not sure if it's the sea of suits, dancers or that i'm sober
@D_O_B_H @HP Y U CHANGE THE TIME FOR THE #TiestoLive ?!?!?! its frikkin 1am here in Texas already!!! NOT COOL BRO!!! @tiesto
@Kris10Merchant Carpet complete at Believe Entertainment's launch of @tiesto's In The Booth series @XSlasvegas! Now patiently awaiting his set. #TiestoLive
@DJ_Llama @HP @intel I REALLY hope this isn't Tiesto right now, because that beatmatching transition from Ghosts 'n' Stuff was horrid. #TiestoLive
@DBcirca1989 People in Vegas get to see #TiestoLive and dance and take ecstasy and other cool things all night. And I get to... ? Lol
@mandymarks It's almost time to witness one of the best. Wish I was there but thanks to @twitter I can pretend. #TiestoLIVE
