UPDATE 4/11/06

Wow, last night's show [Bob Dylan w/ Merle Haggard] was such a crazy diverse crowd. This was played at an indoor arena that only holds about 9,000. I won't go into show details today, because most of you know what Dylan is like live. But I did want to explain something I have never seen before.

This show was a seated show - meaning there wasn't a general admission area. We were about the 20th row back (center). For the first 6 songs of Dylan's set, everyone was standing. Throughout those 6 songs, rows behind us and further back were yelling obscenities about us standing up to the point that it was escalating towards a fight.

This resulted in the ushers running around FORCING people to sit down or be ejected fromt he show. Now, I know this is a "seated" show, but that doesn't mean they can force you to sit rather than stand as far as I know. I'm sitting here thinking..Dylan is the man..he would say "F*ck the ushers!" and we paid for the seats.

This was just really interesting to me because I've NEVER seen a show where they forced you to stay seated. It just seems so f*cking rediculous.

Its funny how they are putting on better shows than 90% of entertainers today. And Im not even a fan of them.

 

[Injury]

have fun laying down about $600-700+ dollars for that.

 

[rocadelpunk]

aside from bob dylan i doubt any of those shows would be more than 16bucks.


is it gonna be solo cat power or no?

 

[chuckywang]

The only good show on there is Bob Dylan.

Niiice. I :heart: Cat Power (Chan is the best!!!!!!!! ever!) and TV on the Radio and Elf Power (so many powers). Have fun man.

<--- Wished I lived in a place where good bands actually played. (or actually there are some great bands around here, but I mean Mogwai isn't going to come play down here)






Oh, and don't listen to anybody on hear lol. If there is one thing I've discovered in my 5 years hear is AT wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass. These are nerds, for the most part (not all mind you) they listen to metal and Floyd, and anything else gets the thumbs down. I've tried to introduce them to good music, let them know there are bands that have made good stuff in the last 20 years, but to limited success. Have fun at the concerts though! :thumbsup:

To answer the questions:

Cat Power show is with The Memphis Rhythm Band backing her. It is to prepare her for Coachella 2 days later - so kind of a rehearsal show.

$600-$700??? How so? Here is the breakout:

Bob Dylan/Merle Haggard - $65.00
Captured by Robots - $5.00
Faun Fables - $7.00
TV on the Radio - $12.00
Cat Power - $21.00
AFI, Rise Against, Rock Kills Kid, The Cult, The Strokes - $45.00 (but might not go - $45 just to see strokes..nah?)
Islands - $8.00
John Vanderslice - $8.00
Be Your Own Pet - $13.00
Elf Power - $5.00
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - $5.00
Jamie Cullum - $17.00

Grand Total - $166 w/o Strokes show...where is this $600-$700 you're coming up with? Or were you including my alochol?

 

[nakedfrog]

I'm probably gonna be seeing the Subways in a few weeks here. And maybe Ministry/RevCo.

 

[zanieladie]

Have fun and stay safe!

 

[Rill22]
