Those are just bands that I can think of that I've seen at the 930 who would be in MCI type venues at home.
Belle and Sebastian
I am extremely irritated by this second show in one night. True B&S fans have been waiting for months for this show. We planned ahead. Bought tix ahead of time. Paid Ticketmaster's bloody fees (btw, Ticketmaster doesn't even seem to know about this stupid 2nd gig on their site..seems a lil' shady). And now we're all getting the short end of the stick..the shorter show with no chance of encores, kicked out in time for a second set! Generally bad PR. Pissing off their hugest fans. Not impressed. I want to turn my $30 ticket in for the second show. I saw B&S at DAR Const. Hall last year and they sang forever. It was grand. Hours they sang…not a mere hour and "make way for the next show, my dear." This is greedy and I am disgusted. Open to suggestions.
Is there anyone here who can attest to how long the DAR set was? I was there, and I don't remember this 3 - 4 hour marathon y'all keep referring to.
Hey, it is more of a question of how many shows have you been to besides the 930. But hey, who really cares. I thought the poor sound was a general opinion. I guess I am wrong and with that I suppose I am finished complaining and on my way to the health center to get my ears cleaned out. Thanks for listening.
Man. You Brits are a crotchety bunch….

and really people, if you are so pissed at this band for scheduling a second show…stop buying tix for them or buying their albums…that'll show those greedy bastards :roll:
second show is onsale at tickets.com… the band must have used ticketmaster for their presale because the 930 club only uses tickets.com for their shows.

the constitution hall show was over by 11pm at the latest…
secondly just because it says doors open at 10:30 for the second show doesn't mean its actually gonna happen. thatguy can control lots of things at the club, but opening doors at a scheduled time is not always one of them. if the band decides to run long during the first show then the people outside will have to wait a little longer. for the second mighty wind show, the first show didn't even letout until 10pm, which is when the doors were suppose to open for the second show.

Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:So it all balances out. They piss off the first show crowd but just to be fair, decide to piss the second show mob off too by making them wait outside for longer than is posted. Class, pure class.

i have nothing let to say on this matter…

Okay, now I have nothing else to say..bye bye!
Only Rhett could give a proper response to this quagmire…
Each show will be 90 minutes long, per B&S' contract. As previously explained, they are not taking one show and splitting it in half, they are doing 2 full shows. If the second show hadn't been added, the first show would still have been 90 minutes. No one is getting less bang for their buck here.
Some of you have made the assumption that first show ticket-holders are being screwed because the second show will somehow be better. I would bet money that, had the late show been onsale first and an earlier show added, these same people would be bitching that the first show would be better because the band will be too tired for the second show. If you don't like the situation, please take Seth up on his refund offer, and for god's sake quit whining.

Had I known there were two shows on the same evening I personally WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT A TICKET FOR EITHER FUCKING SHOW!
It's not the money that is the issue with me, it's the principal..and I stand by my opinion that both performances will be inferior than if there was just one show during the evening.
Question:
When Phil Collins played the Live Aid in Britain and then took the Concord to America to play a gig the same day… which show was better?? did the Americans complain about getting a jet-lagged Collins on stage?? or did the Brits feel he would half arse the UK show so he wouldn't be too tired to play the America gig after crossing the Atlantic??? hmmmm

First of all, he sang what? Three songs at each performance. Second, you can't compare live-aid with a single band concert. Live aid was more of a circus than a serious show, albeit for a very good cause.
Bad analogy Fico, even worse than some of GGW's.
You guys need to watch "The Joe Schmo Show" – Kip was the king of analogies!! ;)
Originally posted by CourtneyCrummett:I am sorry I can not let this one stand. Poor sound, what shows, what bands, when, and compared to what venues? Look I have been to many venues and have worked with many artists and their soundmen at the 9:30 and 95% of them mention that this spot is the highlight of their tour as the staph and sound is so good. Remember most bands now have their own engineers and often all their own equipment (yep they hang their own PA in the club, a real pain in the ass), so it is the band that sucks and not necessarily the venue.

So again, what are you comparing the sound to and for what shows.
