I was thinking the same thing about it being hard to pass up. Maybe ill see you there this time since it probably wont be nearly as crowded as Sasha's show was.

Does anyone know what time the show starts? Also, what time would you say that Oakie will come on?

im sure mr two hour set will come on close to 1

He did a 2 hour set alright... came on at 12:15am and played until 2:15. Only problem, the club didn't close until 3, so he just up and quit after two hours and let K-Todd (or whatever the hell his name is - all I know is that he killed the crowd) close out. Unheard of! I have never been to a show where the headliner didn't close out. Tiesto, Ferry, PvD, Sasha - all of them have blown up the room right until they raised the house lights.

The hell of it is, up til now I was a big Oakenfold fan. He was the first trance DJ I ever heard. I've enjoyed his music selection over the years, and it wasn't like he didn't have a good set at the Amp (anyone got a track list?). He spun some stuff that had the crowd going nuts. But to just say "ok, 2 hours, I'm done"...? Inexcusable. I lost a good bit of respect for him last night. And if I were the club owner, I doubt I'd ever invite him back.

Does anyone have a track list from his set? I'm still disappointed in his behavior, but there were still some great tracks I'd love to get ahold of.

agree, although i'm not that disappointed by his early leaving, this is only because i was surprised to hear such an excellent set. the first 45 min were not that great for me, but the last hour was incredible, it was amazing, and he wasn't even playing trance, which is what i like and what he used to be known for, but anyways the house and breaks he was dropping were fantastic!!, i was surprised that the last few tracks he played were full-blown uplifting trance bliss, awesome!! i was still kind of let down when i finally figured out that he wasn't on a piss-break and he was done for the night, but i left with a happy face

No doubt about the music selection. I'm not a big house fan and normally dislike breaks too. Yet, he managed to weave it all together with some trance and progressive - he was all over the freakin' map! And when he cut loose with "Naked Angel", the place went nuts (or maybe it was just me, my sister and our friend DJ Santana ). And I thought he was just going to keep pushing it up. But he bailed so abruptly I was like "Where's he going? He can't be done..." It wasn't even a particularly great song to go out on. Dang, finish what you started, Oakenfold! You could have blown the roof off the Amp!
