-- Tiesto @ Amphitheater Ybor in August

Tiesto @ Amphitheater Ybor in August

Sorry if there's a thread for this already. I specifically recalled Paul the Pimp mentioning something about Tiesto coming to Amp sometime in August or October a while back. If anyone has any more info about this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I dont recall him mentioning anything like that at all Max.

uhhh....i dont recall hearing anything either

during that time he'll be on his TIC tour so i doubt he'd be playing the amp. :/

havent you heard tiesto doesnt do "clubs" anymore.

Oh MAN! You got my hopes up there. I know Amp does have some great shows (I live about 20 miles away) and if they could pull something off like that, it would be heavily advertised in advance.

They did pull it off actually. Tiesto was at Amp for the first time last December, and Ferry was there in June. It doesnt happen very often but they are starting to bring in the big names. Those are the only nights I go to Amphitheater, and of course when dj santana is spinning there.

word on the street... AMP lost their ass on bringing in Tiesto.. I wouldnt expect him to be there again anytime soon They jacked up their bottle service so high that NO ONE was upstairs that night.

well that sucks. Weird though cuz i remember people being up there, I guess no one payed for a table then really. Im not a rush to see Tiesto again anyway, bring on Ferry again, or even G&D.

btw, hello Russ

Ferry is the man!! Id listen to him anyday over Tiesto.. even though that Tiesto night was pretty damn good!

HI!!

oh no, the night for Tiesto doesnt even come close to the night for Ferry. The vibe was friggin insane for Ferry, 46540654056406465 times better than Tiesto. Amber and I will both tell you it was the most amazing clubbin experience either of us have ever had. You should have been there.

i was surprised at how small the amp is. tiesto's too busy selling out the stadiums to come to the amp. much more money for him.

For his booking dollar.. the Amp "was" way too small. AMP is tiny... amazing how that is Tampa's best club... they (the AMP) needs to be watching out for the underground in downtown... much better club IMO... and the only club in town capable of putting a dent in the AMP. If underground promoted that place correctly and brought in some big names... even FLZ would not be able to make the AMP the place to be.

I completely agree. That place is HUUUGE. They have extreme potential, they just need to be promoting, and slowly try to change that candy raver crowd they are having. I was talking with someone who works there last week, cover to that place is only $5, and free drinks for ladies until 1am I believe he said. I believe he also said they play breaks though on fridays. I didnt get into with him as far as what they do on other nights.

i go to the underground at least twice a month. nothing else ive gone to has compared. its 5$ on regular nights, but on those nights, MAYBE 40-50 people at most are there. some rooms are completly empty with the dj by himself mixing. on big nights, its a good crowd, but plenty of space to walk around. 20$ at the door. they got drum n bass/jungle room, the big breakbeat room and the smaller room u walk into where they play sometimes trance or house.

saturday is hip hop night.

ive seen the owner walk around the place. my impression of him is that is a grumpy old fart. he just walks around with this pissed off face like he's in the mafia or somethin. he's old, and that may be the reason that club has stayed "underground". whereas the amp has an energetic younger owner who is also a very good business man and has a great promotion team.

Yea.. they just arent promoting. They have everything in place... and its a big ass building.. They need to get some spots on the radio stations. Look at how much 933 FLZ has helped the AMP. Dont get me wrong.. the AMP is a good club, but with the right djs and promotions.. that Underground could really take a lot of their customers. I mean.. dont people get sick of going to the same exact club every single weekend? Wouldnt it be nice to see some good talent at a different venue?

The only spot bringing in talent is AMP and Hard Rock it seems.

Everyone that was at the Amp that night will tell you that Ferry blew the roof off that place and that Tiesto's visit in December couldn't begin to compare to what Ferry brought to town. According to the staff the general consensus was that they definitely wanted to have Ferry back...soon.

I would love to see my fav DJ, Ferry perform at the Amp again. He freaking rocked the house that night!! The best I've ever seen him spin, dropping lots of new high energy tracks. And I've seen Ferry about 10 times. Definitely one of my most memorable nights ever!!

You're right. Now he only does bridal showers and bar-mitzvahs, along with his live act in the circus.

Yes I agree, the vibe and energy at Ferry was much better than Tiesto. To me, Ferry seems like a much more approchable person than Tiesto, and it reflects in the overall vibe that he brings to the club.

Fuck it, just bring more trance damnit
