A State of Trance | Mainstage : Rank1 Live

[@aqsar0811]

Thank you for participating in the ASOT 950 invitation in Utrecht before the COVID-19 virus by Rank 1

[@RazormaneOfficial]

Can't believe this amazing set turns 4 years old next week!! Still feels like yesterday going wild to it with one of my besties :D And I have to say it: Transatlantic Communication, Predictive Memory, No Name and Paris Nice Cannes should totally be released with extended mixes to celebrate 25 years of Rank 1 this year 😄🙌🏾

[@RazormaneOfficial]

For anyone looking for the TL, I added cues for ya too: *Rank 1 Live Performance @ ASOT **#950** Festival, Jaarbeurs Utrecht -The Netherlands [February 15th 2020]* 01:51 01. [LIVE] Rank 1 - Transatlantic Communication 04:42 02. [LIVE] Rank 1 vs. M.I.K.E. - Elements Of Nature 07:04 03. [LIVE] Rank 1 - Awakening 08:43 04. [LIVE] Cygnus X - Superstring (Rank 1 Remix) 11:36 05. [LIVE] Rank 1 - Predictive Memory 13:58 06. [LIVE] Rank 1 - No Name 16:51 07. [LIVE] Rank 1 - Beats At Rank-1 Dotcom 18:30 08. [LIVE] Rank 1 - Paris Nice Cannes 22:46 09. [LIVE] Rank 1 feat. Shanokee - Such Is Life (Deep Dub) vs. Such Is Life (Acapella) 24:58 10. [LIVE] Rank 1 - L.E.D. There Be Light 27:35 11. [LIVE] Rank 1 - Airwave 31:03 *press replay* Note that Piet & Benno sometimes make tracks just for the live acts, it's very unlikely they'll ever be released tho there are exceptions: Many Miles Too Soon from Trance Energy 2000 was reworked, got vocals from Shanokee and was released the next year as Such Is Life. Top Gear was originally an untitled tune for their Trance Energy 2005 act but the response to it was so massive they decided to release it over the summer of that year. I think they even made Opus 17 afterwards, so the EP had a more "Trance friendly/typical Rank 1" release on the flipside, given how raw TG was. :) To anyone that enjoyed the untitleds, LET RANK 1 KNOW! Let them know on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, KZbin, any soc med channel you find them on! MAYBE... Just MAYBE it will prompt them to release some of these! :) UPDATE JULY 31st 2020: The previously untitled tracks have been named and released on Spotify today as part of the live act! Transatlantic Communication, Predictive Memory, No Name and Paris Nice Cannes can now be considered "canon" in the Rank 1 discography ;)

This needs to be at the top

[@jopmens6960]

I saw your fan blog, thanks for that :) - Have always been really disappointed the Benjamin Bates "Surprisingly" track was never released. Saying its not all about the money but for the appreciation of music would have been a good reason too cause I think it is one of their best ones. I tend to love musicians who have a classical background (like myself), the melodies can be incredible haha. Rank 1 literally is!

[@RazormaneOfficial]

@@jopmens6960 I agree! The track captures the essence of both duos in their earliest days... That Marco V/Bates groove is irresistable and the Rank 1 supersaw euphoria just plants a smile on your face! I find it a bummer they leave gem like that to collect. That's just how it is though, Piet and Benno are SO laidback with their music bizz haha. At least it's easy to find the sets with these rips online these days :)

[@zsideswapper6718]

The timestamps don't match each song's title, like the previous track title plays when you click them

[@suzanacuravic]

I usually watch on ASOT channel so forgot that the interview was here 😄! I still feel very privileged to be able to see you right there live on stage, in a first row and rocking my Rank 1 shirt - it was a dream come true to hear your best and my beloved classics 🤍!! I hope Armin invites you again next year to ASOT 2025 to do something special like this 🫶!

[@NoahTheRobloxGuy]

Airwave is my favourite song I have it on vinyl

[@X1k1nh0_Music]

Absolute legends! The world needs more of these kind of liveset´s like the gold days of trance, more liveset´s please Benno and Piet! Big fan of you, come to Portugal someday, we dont have that kind of trance here sadly! cheers ❤

[@hoelbraknofear4671]

I was there, and wow. Thank you for the show :) when i saw the lineup i pretty much screamed like a little girl. You guys deffinately met the expectations i had. This is the kind of trance that even got me into listening to trance.

[@AgneseFiducia]

23:00 wow an amazing progressive trance song. ❤🔥

[@kdorkdor6333]

I grew up on your divine music! You are the best!!!

[@Avenue96]

watched live, great memories to Sensation, Trance Energy's and that finish with Airwave - thanks Rank1

[@turkturkcu7491]

[@RazormaneOfficial]

What an amazing live act... I was impressed with how they opted for a bit of a megamix approach, as evidenced by the seemless blending of EON's breakdowns. No vocal overkill, no "emoshunal 3-minute breakdowns" nonsense, no monotone festival noise: a proper, full-on Trance-driven live act that was basically a History lesson on Rank 1 Classics. :D They kept the energy going from the moment the first drop hit, venturing into Tech Trance and Techno here and there to add some extra spice! The new 2020 untitleds were amazing and infectious, as was the new rendition of the two untitleds from 2017. It might have just lasted 30 minutes but for me they bested iLan, Markus & Armin. 0/ Rank 1 = #1 Piet & Benno, this was the 4th time I've seen you live since 2009 and it was the best so far... Thank you for another unforgetable experience!! TL (July 31st 2020 update): *Rank 1 Live Performance @ ASOT #950 Festival, Jaarbeurs Utrecht -The Netherlands [February 15th 2020]* 01.

[@dg8511]

10:40 Is it really more important nowadays to record part of the concert with your smartphone? Isn't it better to play around and then come back to it with memories instead of standing like a tree? People, what's the matter with you ?! RAVE GUYS RAVE !!
