LOL…OK…well, your preference is not to go 2 nights in a row. My preference is. Nobody is right or wrong on that. I just think it's kind of funny that people that go 2 nights in a row are being selfish. Personally, I can dig a crowded show if the crowd is well-behaved and into the music. Belle and Sebastian and PJ Harvey at the Black Cat were both packed, but BOY were those reverent crowds. You could hear a pin drop. And they were fantastic shows. I was almost a little sad when they were over…it was like a rollercoaster, I wanted to do it again. I still get that excitement from seeing a really great performance.
the shins sold out???
But Unctuous said he is not going to two shows because he doesnt like clubs and crowds, nothing to do with being selfish or not.
It wouldnt be like Unctuous to contradict himself endlessly, would it?

Shocking, isn't it?
It appears he can't stay awake much past midnight either. Kind of like my grandmother.

I said people who bought tickets for both nights knowing it would sell out and prevent others from seeing it committed a selfish act.
I never said that being selfish would prevent me from committing said act.
I never said selfish=wrong. I believe I said:
And you have people selfish enough to buy tickets for two nights (even though they knew it would prevent others from seeing the band) for a band that only has 70 minutes of recorded material and doesn't play covers…people who are for some reason desperate enough to see the same band do the same exact songs two nights in a row.

Sorry, but I found the perpetual "point scoring" and appearing considerate to be rather laughable when it was clearly personal reasons, not the greater, good keeping Unctuous from the second night.

There are only a few things worth staying up past midnight for, and most rock shows aren't one of them. ;)
Going to bed early runs in the family for me.
And yes, I dislike most, but not all, people in the world.

Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:People generally need about 8 hours of sleep, so it's understandable that one may not want to stay up past midnight, unless they have no obligations to do anything the next day until well after 9 am (factoring in an hour to get up and get ready, and that is conservative, because it doesn't take into consideration getting home from a show, and the show even ending at midnight.)

Unfortunately, at many shows, most people ARE problematic. At least in cities that still allow smoking at venues. People who smoke dirty the air and poison those who don't. Additionally, many people insist on talking and not respecting the personal space of other concert goers. When people don't smoke and respect others around them, I'm sure Rhett has no problem with them.

I was at that PJ Harvey show (December 2000?) and agree about the great, receptive crowd. That was my first time at the (old) Black Cat, so I didn't know what to expect. Wish more shows were like that one.

What about what she is saying is that unique to me?
Just because I agree and support him doesn't mean I'm a clone…that's just ridiculous…

Yeah, that PJ show was fantastic…she asked that the audience not smoke, but I'm not sure that would have made Rhett happy, LOL. She rocks. I know the guy that does sound for her, I'm hoping that she will make it to Coachella. It would be so fun to see her onstage with Queens of the Stone Age doing Desert Sessions stuff. Now THAT would be something to see. I booked my plane ticket and hotel…now I hope I can just get tickets to both days. The Pixies could do an entire show of B-sides and covers and that would still be worth the trip for me.

Sorry, I just wanted to say this again.
And 40% of the set list being repeated…
