Originally posted by trancebrat I was with most of my closest friends and we were all having a great time. Props to Tiesto for having us on his guest list and to Santoro for allowing us in his VIP. Being with my husband, my brother, and my best friends plus not standing in line, not paying, and being above and away from the masses made a huge difference in my night.

and this is what made it a good night. We had a lot of fun and I loved being with you guys so much. I missed everyone, and I am glad Thomas was there with us too. You should have seen some people's reactions when they met him.

Brent, we wish you were there too. Come back again soon.

Ok, I just found out that Tiesto was upset at the end because of some of the people on the stage. I have no idea what transpired since none of us were up there, but it wasn't because of Kai. I do know that he was fine until the dancers and extra people started gathering on the stage.

To hell with it. I still had a good time.

I can definitely see him being disrespected and wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened.

Mite be a case where the DJ doesn't want any attention on anyone but himself. I mean Tiesto did freak out when Dennis Rodman started dancing out in from of the booth back in November

Originally posted by brokeral It was ok, nothing outstanding by any means. Even worse, they filled the place to WELL over capacity and the damn A/C was off! I saw SO many people leaving the club drenched and miserable at only 12:30ish. GJ Amp, lets see how long it is before Tiesto shows up to your venue again.

I unfortunately have to agree with much of this post. I have always wanted to see Tiesto live, having missed multiple chances in the past. My expectations were high, but I must say overall the night was just 'OK'.

Tiesto played what I would consider a decent set, but it just didn't really grab me like some other's I've seen (never been dissapointed by a Ferry set). Add that to the fact that it was 150 degress in there (everyone was sweatin like pigs), water was $6 a bottle, and it was so crowded that the entire night you were getting run into and bumped around by people trying to get through the masses. Yes I know it gets hot and crowded in the clubs, but this was just too much.

I don't regret driving down and going, b/c I did want to see Tiesto spin live, but will think twice about spending the time and $$ before seeing him again, especially @ Amp.

Tiesto might have sold out but the two times that Ferry has been at the Amp were ten times better than the two times that Tiesto was there. It's just a totally different vibe when Ferry is in town.

and Ferry gives his all every time, and has a blast every time, and everywhere he goes.

Yeah it was fun, i was upstairs the whole time, and had a great time. A little too much like a sweat shop but well worth it.


But i must admit, Ferry has always put on a better show

I would have to agree he always owns us down here in Miami..

i love ferry when he plays at space, but anywhere else and its just "system f's greatest hits nite", which kinda of bores me. tho he did rock it out at LOL3 a few years back. hopefully he comes back to space real soon, and tiesto too!!!

I came down to Tampa from New York to visit a friend and fellow Tiesto fan this week. Amp was ridiculous. We get there and pick up our tickets at the door, and I'm told I can't get in because I had on a t-shirt?!!? Mind you it wasn't an old scraggly one, it was a dressy t-shirt. So I was forced to go buy a ridiculously overpriced shirt with a collar across the street at one of the stores before I could get in, only to see people with t-shirts on. Even outside the ticket booth girls were like WTF? when the guy outside told me I couldn't get in.

Bullsh*t aside, tiesto's set was pretty good. His mixing was on point, and the entire set flowed nicely. The clubs prices were equal to NYC prices which didn't bother me, but surprised me. Temperatures were unreal though. Terrible.

It was funny to hear Love Comes again and Traffic, since they are older, but he was playing to the crowd. Good set overall.

I definitely agree. Kai wasn't so fortunate, but Tiesto's mixing was on.

Anyone have any pics to post?

I doubt anyone that was there remembers by now, but who knows...I'm looking for possible ID's to the 2 or 3 tracks BEFORE "Love Comes Again". There is one particular amazing track he played that rocked the place before "Love Comes Again" which I've heard, but have no idea who the artist, track is...appreciate any suggestions.

I have maybe ONE decent pic of the crowd, and NONE of Tiesto himself. Even though AMP decided to cut the A/C with 1,000,000 patrons sweating their ass off, they further decided to blow smoke all night long and as a result, almost all my pics are fogged out.

wow the amp is one hell of a mickey mouse operation what a bunch of schmucks...

Yeah, he hasn't played either of those tracks in forever

And the real hell is they're apparently the only club who'll bring in a Ferry or Tiesto. Talk about being pwned.

Sitting here reading the posts and thats all I can think- the amp has us by the balls

You nailed it. They are the ONLY ones. So good or bad is not an option.

And while at it, they aren't so bad either. I can't recall how many clubs can invite the likes of Tiesto, Ferry etc and still charge $25.

And yes, they try in their own way to make it more entertaining. The acrobats, the human volcano, the resident amps entertainers, the girl with free shots shaking her booty - they are just trying to make it more entertaining.

...and the announcers on the mic getting us just "so hyped up". They need to realize that people are there for the music and the dj and not for the stunts and all else they do. Oh well, still a good set, awesome time, but crappy pics lolll
