Gogol Bordello roll call

who else? :)

i'd planned to go, but i can't.

sh********t… i was planning on picking up tickets tonight, but looks like it's now sold out. at least that's what tickets.com is saying. dang.

anyone got an extra? maybe even two?

i really want to go, but with 4 nights in a row of thievery after that, my rock and roll self just can't do 5 high energy shows in a row.

i suspect the write up in the post caused the show to sell out. good for them though. they are relentless tourers, so its about time one of their dc shows sold out.

awww sweetcell :( :(

damn it, its sold out?

confirmed… i was at the box office about an hour ago, got tix for the scissor sisters and the dears - but gogol all gone.

anyone got a spare?

I've got to flog my blog here, since it features an entry on Gogol Bordello. I hope they come back on a weekend night soon, because their shows are a little too intense for this civil servant on a week night.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it's sold out!

I'm still gonna find a way to get a ticket to this show. I've seen them 4 times before, but I didnt jump on tickets to this for some reason.

:(

anyone got a ticket for me?

i will be there….mildly against my will.

I'm very excited about tonight's show. My first time seeing GB. And Valient Thorr is a pretty cool opener too. Should be a blast! :cool:

happy to take your place! uh, i'll chat with your friends, buy your girl a drink, babysit the younger sibbling, whatever it is that you would be expected to do. no, really, i'm not that creepy :)

if i can convince my friend to sell her tickets, believe me, i will.

she never *ever* thinks ahead so i figured i got out of this scott-free. but nope, apparently she bought them last week.

i feel like a real asshole not wanting to go, i just have so much shit to do.

fuck everyone who got to go to this show


no just kidding, you're all lucky. i saw them headline in boston last summer and they played for like two hours and pretty much put on one of the best shows ever.

alex: i feel your pain.

the show was absolutely phenominal. i'm willing to believe that RATM and the Foos were more intense, but anyone else you're going to have to present one hell of an argument. GB tore the roof off tonight with sheer energy, a lot of it consisting of feedback from the the crowd (i managed to snag a ticket out front). band hit the stage = biggest surge i have ever experienced, and only got wilder after that. front half of the floor = a tide of humanity. main set = 55 mins, encore = 25 mins consisting of 2 songs - first one was only 5 mins. pure gypsy punk, emphasis on the latter. how some of those smaller ladies survived the pit is a complete mystery to me. haven't been part of a mosh that crazy (I SCORED A *PIT* TICKET!!!) since my punk days about a decade and a half ago. i started off about 5 back from the stage, i could only deal with that about 25-30 minutes before having to move back. temperature rose to hellish about a minute into the first song. nuts nuts nuts.

went to the DC9 afterwards in hopes of meeting the band but had to bail an hour later without them showing up - met plenty of other folks and had a great time there. tomorrow morning is going to suck… but will be entirely worth it :)

first time i've ever seen GB. highly, highly recommended. valient thorr was highly entertaining as well, surprisingly so. missed the first opening act.

Yeah, what he said.

I was supposed to go and was planning on driving a few hours to the show, but unfortunately I didn't get tickets ahead of time. Damn all of you and your good taste in bands. I saw them at Sonar, Ottobar, Black Cat and even The Stone Pony last year. Some of the best shows I have ever seen - and I've seen a lot.

there was a few people out front asking for tickets, after the show was over i was like "wow, anyone who missed this missed something truly spectacular". The show was phenomenal and immediately shot up to one of the top 5 best shows ive been to this year, if not the best show. They were truly fantastic and im SO glad i got this ticket for free because i wanted to go kind of and then i got a ticket and went and it was insane.

Basically the entire floor was a huge dance party/mosh pit, it was insane. I liked how they came back on after playing for 40 minutes and played a one hour encore, so awesome.

hum, my time-keeping doesn't agree with yours… i had them going on at 10:15, ended 11:10, encore started 11:15, show ended 11:45 (all times approx). maybe time was warped in your vicinity due to gravitational forces (the mosh pit seemed to be under the influence of a similar force :) ) speaking of - i wonder what the pit looked like from the balcony…

most of the encore was a 20+ minute jam, moving from gypsy beat to gypsy beat. amazing.

met lots of ukrainians last night, always a sign of a superior evening :cool:
