I have to say this was not as good as I thought it would be. I got in fairly quickly but it looked as if things didn't start on time. On top of that the opening act was horrible(no offense) but you don't bring out a polka/riverdance group for an opening act. We should have got a refund just for that. After that it was really late and then Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings came on. Now she was good and stopped a fight in the crowd. I had to leave after I heard my 1 song(100 Days/100 Nights). I have to say I would have rather had Sharon come out and do her thing with no opener.
Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings show!!!!
I can't believe you clowns are just now discovering Sharon Jones. She's been around for a coon's age.
And I can't believe you actually used the term "coon's age." :D

Could not make it to the show but wish I did. I hope they liked the poster. It seems fights always break out at the most sedate/non-aggressive shows. Fights at Sharon Jones? Yes. Fights at Slayer? No.
no it sold out before i got tickets :(

I saw them a few times in NYC and the crowd was the nicest I have ever seen. No, I am not joking.

yeah, really. i've been to tons of metal/hardcore shows and have seen slayer a few times, and slayer crowds are ALWAYS the most violent, aggressive assholes. and this includes NYC.
Well, yes, the pit is always scary. Maybe I was just lucky.

Well the warm up act appears to have the stamp of approval of someone involved with SJATDK as they are on tour with them…
The opener played for about 45 minutes. I think they went on too long.

Doesn't sound like she went all that late to me. Midnight is the standard show-end time for the black cat.
I missed this show, but saw Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings last time they were at the Black Cat.
I really liked the opening act, the Budos Band. I probably would've liked Sharon Jones' performance more if it hadn't been so crowded and if the crowd had been nicer. I started out near the front but had to retreat back because people were just too aggressive.
So yeah, that left a sour taste in my mouth. And hearing that a fight was breaking out at Thursday's show doesn't surprise me.

Considering she was once a corrections officer at Sing Sing, doesn't surprise me that if a fight breaks out at her show that she will do something about it.
