I like to be reasonably towards the front, preferably over to the side so that I have a wall or a bar or a pillar against which to lean. Old. Tired knees and back, etc.

When we're at the same shows, I typically stalk Challenged and lean on him for support.

Which is why my back always hurts so much!  You are gigantic.

From the Heads Up: Massive Attack email:

" Arrive Early! Doors open at 6:30pm. A sold out show at The Anthem means a lot of people, and it takes a bit of time to get everyone in the doors. Massive Attack will hit the stage at 8:00pm sharp! Please plan ahead so you don’t miss anything! "

Suppose they meant Central Time?

9:01

Pre-show banter.

I am the only person not at massive attack



Ggggrrrrrrrr

When did they go on and how were lines/doors?


I had a ticket for ma but had to stay home so my partner could go to Lucinda Williams at Strathmore…payback for the time I hung out with Lu and my pleated pants in Baltimore

Kill me

They went on at 9:01
Show of the year for me

Great just great

;D

Took me 40 minutes to get through the line tonight. I've never waited that long with other sold out shows-it was a whole 10 minutes for Gary Clark and maybe 5 minutes for Bryan Ferry.

Very good show. Dare I say even better than the 2 nighter they did at the 930 about a decade ago?

People watching was nearly as good as Bryan Ferry last month. And a seriously respectul crowd. We kept waiting for "that person" since there is always at least 1, if not 10 at a show and it never happened.

Those damn useless sensors on the bathroom sinks though…ARGH. Can I just rinse the soap off my hands without having to wiggle in front of 3 different sinks trying to get a sputter of water?

I have the same issue with sensors!! I guess they save water but WTF

40 min is too long

Thx

Horace Andy did not disappoint. The most beautiful voice in reggae and I loved his dance moves when leaving the stage. Plus a little live Bowie clip from the Diamond Dogs era, so you know I was happy.

incredible show - the backing videos were sooooooo good.  Robert is totally Banksy, right?    I feel that the show actually started just after 8….its just that the first hour was them playing those songs..uh, through the stage monitors i think?  Britney Spears, etc - lines up with the message of the show..and uh, well, the ending song.  glad i didn't look at any setlists before the show - wasn't expecting bauhaus, ultravox and the cure covers …..and uh avicii

The Mike Birbiglia show at National Theatre was great: stand-up, storytelling this time mostly about wanting/nont-wanting kids, and how kids change one's life.

Good to know

I think time of arrival can have a lot to do with wait…

Gotta echo the comments about Massive Attack. Simply awesome.

9:01 start time kinda sucked cause we rushed thru dinner to be ther on time. That’s about it for complaints tho.

For some reason everyone was gravitating towards the right side of the entrance leaving the left practically empty, I arrived around 730 and got in the cattle pen just as staff started directing people from the other side to come over, a friend of mine showed up 10 minutes later and had to wait an hour to get in

Both lines were huge. One stretched down to the end of the pier, the other stretched past TNT/rum distillery.

I do appreciate the band starting later to accommodate everyone still waiting in line. And the staff letting the folks still in line that the show was starting later.

10.15 Saturday Night from the Cure as the second song? Genius. And fabulous.

Agreed – I was there last night also and think it'd be difficult for anyone not to like it - whether parent or not, anywhere on sexuality continuum, big city or not, comedy fan or not.
Show is there only through Sunday and I'm sure there are deals out there.

I thought doors were at 7, but drove straight from baltimore after work.  Got there around 6:55 and walked right in.

curious what you did to kill 125 minutes…
probably could have given us a scene report of all the bathroom faucets. I think there is a lot of interest in know which ones have the most reliable
