David Bowie @ Patriot Center

Sunday, 12/7…damn, I hate that venue. What a shame…I'd really like to see that guy sometime, just not THERE.

I'd rather go there than Nissan.

Do they mention who's the opener for the tour?

So I was just talking to Lefty about this off the board, who do you think would draw a bigger crowd in the US now, Peter Gabriel or David Bowie? He seems to think that Bowie could fill MCI, which Gabriel could not do recently, anybody agree, disagree?

LOL…Macy Gray opening. Yeah, I agree, Nissan is worse…I just thought of Bowie as more of a Warner Theater type performer (yeah, I know, small venue), or maybe he could do 2 nights at the 9:30. Nissan just seems so BIG for Bowie….and the Patriot Center might be hard for him to fill. Or am I underestimating how big he still is?

What a shame.Europe gets the Dandy's and this is what we get.Ever get the feeling you've been cheated!!I guess some will be happy for this.It just confirmed for me that I will be passing on this one.

Macy Gray is less annoying than Dandy Warhols.

I don't think either could fill the MCI, but Bowie would draw larger crowds outside of DC (like MSG for example).

I would think Bowie could sell MCI.

Did anyone catch Bowie saying he doesn't expect copyright to last another decade? Which is very funny, considering Bowie is the guy that issued bonds secured by the future revenue of his songwriting royalties.

I find Macy Gray to be WAY more annoying than the Dandy Warhols…at least they don't sound like Donald Duck smoking 3 packs of Kool Cigarettes a day.

I fully agree!!!! And I too think that Bowie would sell more tickets.

With that said, considering the venue, the opener and the cost of the ticket, I'll be missing this show.

Ditto!

At least she doesn't look like she's straight out of bad 80's gay porn, like the Dandy's lead singer does.
Well,actually, she looks like she could have been in bad 70's pron.

So that means that you find Courtney to be hot. ;)

I don't think Bowie could sell-out Patriot Center. I think he should be playing 9:30 Club and Wolf Trap, like Lou Reed.

No, that probably means you have a secret stash of 80's gay porn. :)

I'm glad I have my personal pictures from the 80's tucked far away.

whoever thinks Bowie couldnt sell out the Patriot center is plain crazy. I would have thought Bowie was a nuch bigger star than Gabriel by a mile. What are the total album sales by the two artists?

Nah. Why bother? It's a losing proposition. No matter how slim my chances are, at least there is a possibility with a straight guy.

BTW, Courtney is straight. ;) Sorry Rhett.

I think more mainstream music fans and those willing to spend big venue money would go see Peter Gabriel before Bowie. I prefer Bowie by a long way, but that is just my impression.
