Ya think?
Stage Hand says 'no setlist, not mine to give'..
heh heh…hey, on a separate note, what was the intro song that they came out to? I've been wracking my brain to place it, I know I've heard it before somewhere. (sorry, meant to post this one on the Garbage thread)

NIN?
it was the johnny cash cover of "hurt," not the NIN original.
i asked the enon's singer for a set list once. she obligied
Okay, so some bands reuse set lists, some keep them to remember what they played and to be sure to change up sets, some just don't want them out in the general public. It is their property to give away, not the stagehands. And when you yell "Hey gimmie that!" you are just asking not to get it. Politeness counts people, if you want something for free be polite, ask and if they say no then say thanks (not sarcastically) and continue on your way. Don't think that we are obliged to give you the list, and yelling doesn't make me more willing to give you a list. I have a job that I am getting paid to do and handing out set lists is not in the description. If someone does that, it is to be nice, but usually you are too busy to do such things.
And by complaining, NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I've never had a problem getting a setlist that I wanted. But they have come from the roadies and not 9:30 staff. However, the problem I have is all of the idiot chicks, kicking and screaming to get to one, while whipping out their tits, and then having the roadies say fuck it. Instead of dealing with getting yelled at, they throw it away, and screw little old me.
And when it comes down to it, I've never had one problem with the 9:30 staff. They've always been more than helpful in many situations. And I seem to think they are better than the staff of any other regional club around DC, VA, MD.

Originally posted by myuman:C'mon, thatguy's explanation was completely reasonable. I can only imagine with the bands traipsing through that club that there are all kinds of policies – it's up to the band's personnel, not the club's personnel.
Originally posted by thatguy:I hear you, but a small bit of gratuity like handing a setlist to a fan is a win-win. Being a little reasonable and compassionate goes a long way. Remember, the club is a business that survives on customers.
the club's employees are not allowed to take anything from the stage and give it out. they have a job to do, and dispensing souveneirs is not part of it. the tour personnel can do whatever they want.
I have never seen a 9:30 club stapher be anything but polite or at least clear. They're usually only rude when rude is being thrown at them…
And your response on here, sinatra, leads me to believe you have the capability of rudeness.
And sometimes we want those set lists for ourselves :)
Originally posted by hitman:I've had very, very, very little problems with the staff and what they've done. Only thing I hate is when they ruin the pits by standing in them, but I do laugh at the little dude stapher with his hands up karate style thinking he's gonna stop somebody from hitting him……LOL….The other bigger dude's just stand there with their arms cross, pushing people back in…..Not sure if that's right either.

Sinatra: Instead of scrambling around up front with the rest of the crowd, just go back to the sound/light booth and ask the band's sound guy for a set list. They always give them to whoever gets there first if you're nice; and the show doesn't go on if the sound engineer doesn't have the set list…

Originally posted by BadSushi:Sometimes the sound guy doesn't have a set list. Also they often will give them one with notes on it that they need to give to the next guy who is mixing them at the next venue. That said, this is the best way to get one.

there is no fair way to decide, so the club employees don't get involved. if the band or their crew want to give them out, so be it. no club employee should take anything from the stage without the consent of the band or their crew.
So did they fly their own PA for the show? Did the guy mix in the house?
I got a setlist from the Travis show at tracks in Charlottesville like 5 years ago..then like two days later i came home from work and found out that my family had been taking phone messages on it all day long
