ITS GETTING CLOSE!!!

For those of us all the way in back, it happened so damn fast and we couldn't really see what the hell was going on. So for those with such infinite wisdom, thanks for enlightening the rest of us peons.

I can also back-up the filming of a video. I got there an hour or so before doors opened and they had a professional camera man walking back and forth from van to van.

Also I did happen to notice her back during the majority of songs until the encore and realized she added something.

STAGED!!!

yeah, I was right on the front rail & totally noticed the flesh colored bra-esque when she came out for the encore. I was a little puzzled at 1st because I was checking her out all nite (she looked amazing!!!) & she definitely didn't have that on before.

I was extremely pissed at the popo at 1st (it made me kinda nauseous that something like that could actually happen, when nothing did happen & to Shirley no less- I felt horrible for her..) but then thought about it & assumed it was staged because they were filming video footage throughout, she did have on the flesh bra just for the encore & I guess they wanted to get 'real' reactions from the audience.

It was frustrating at 1st but then again 'sex is not the enemy' was THE last song on the setlist (16 total), 'enemy' is going to be the next single so I assume that is what they wanted to create- a 'real-life' situation- so it definitely worked because everyone 'was' pissed & frustrated.

I would say don't hate'm for doing that or for not gettin' a 'Thank you, Good Nite' from Shirley- it WAS the last song- there was no more show & obviously it's going to be a part of some future video (who knows, you may end up on it looking perplexed)- afterall, Shirley rocked the house!!! I'm very glad their back..

this was a staged event. the "police" were actors and a member of garbage's crew. it was filmed for use in a video.

I must say that was the best "sound quality" concert I've been to at the club. I noticed the different speakers, wonder if those are 9:30's or Garbage's. Anyways, they sounded excellant and the quality was just amazing. I was waaaaaaaaaaaaay in the back, way too crowded to even attempt to get close. But still, an excellant show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Feline Queer wet herself again at the show?

If it was staged for the video - why wouldn't they come out at the end to say goodnight or thanks or this was for the video thanks for playing. The abrupt lame ass ending kinda ruined an otherwise spectacular show.

But no matter what they did or didnt do or say, they will still sell out their next show at the 9:30 Club.

The sound was unreal…they brought in their own PA. My only question is how much of the show was live and how much was pre-recorded? The cynic in me can't help but feel it was almost too pristine, but hey, I haven't been to a show that sounded like that in a long time.

I can't admit to being a Garbage fan but I was surprised by not only the number of songs I recognized but also by how much I enjoyed the show.

As people have said, the sound was excellent and Shirley seemed to really get into after about the third or fourth song.

However…I kept thinking that Paul Schaeffer has joined her band. Had me chuckling much of the night.

That's pretty funny and true.

Any opinions on the Dead 60s?

The Dead 60's sucked. The lead singer was a tool. Also, the second guitar player had a facial expression of a tool as he played.

Anyone know what the intro song was that was played right before Garbage went on?

That was my 4th time seeing Garbage and it was without a doubt the best show I've ever seen them do and one of the better shows I've seen so far this year. Yea, I noticed the new speakers too. Great sound, Shirley was really having a lot of fun tonight, and fantastic song selection. The only song they didn't play I wanted to hear was Special but an otherwise impressive setlist.

The Dead 60s were fucking great. It's officially my new favorite band. Too bad they didn't have any cds to sell at the merch booth. This wasn't a Dead 60s type of crowd but I thought they did a pretty good job of winning a lot of people over. Yea, they wear their Clash influneces liberally on their sleave. But they were damn good at what they do. I love that reggae/ska/dub/punk sound. More cowbells!!! :D

or, if I can get picky here, Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." Great rendition.

My girlfriend said it was one of her favorite Nine Inch Nails songs.

I didn't notice anything obviously pre-recorded. Most of Butch Vig's drum kit is electronic, so he rarely plays a 100 pct "real" drum sound. And he's probably got a trigger pad or two back there to start any synth type bits that Duke or Steve can't play because they're doing guitar. But I'd say the vast majority of what was played was played live. It can be hard to tell though sometimes since everything is so processed, but in a good way.

Does anyone have any pics of the flashing incident?
