Review: Gareth Emery mesmerizes New York’s Terminal 5 with laserface show (Includes first-hand account)

Emery played for a sold-out venue. It included all of his classic hits such as “Concrete Angel,” “Dynamite” and “U,” as well as his more recent tracks “Saving Light,” which featured the ethereal vocals of Haliene.

While this journalist was afford the privilege to see Gareth Emery at Terminal 5 in Manhattan exactly two years ago, this concert was even better, since it included the latest state-of-the-art technologies. The vibrant lasers brought the show to life, and it helped elevate it to a higher. There a feeling of pure euphoria in the venue. Emery literally put his audience in a state of trance.

He closed his set with the melodically beautiful track “Long Way Home,” which is perhaps the greatest tune of Emery’s career. If that weren’t enough, there was an after-party at LAVO Nightclub in New York.

After last night’s show, this year’s Top 100 DJ rankings by DJ Magazine did not mean a single thing, since Gareth Emery was clearly the top DJ of 2017 (even though he did not make the Top 100 DJs poll). His live performance was upbeat, dynamic and a breath of fresh air. It was one of those electronic concerts that one never wanted to end. His passion for his craft, and charisma were evident the entire night. Most importantly, Gareth Emery fans are the luckiest in the world, since they get to listen to the best electronic music imaginable. Emery took them all on a wild journey, and they were in for a long ride. Emery’s laserface show at Terminal 5 earned five out of five stars.
