Fun Stuff > BAND
So I saw Dinosaur Jr. last night.
Wayfaring Stranger:
If a band plays a crappy set, I'd much rather they not do an encore at all. Hasn't happened much in my experience, though.
carrotosaurus:
I'd much rather the band not schedule the encore into the show, and just finish the show normally.
Also, crowds always seem to demand encores regardless of the quality of the show.
Johnny C:
I have played one encore. We were still on the stage taking our shit down when they started asking for one more song.
We played Weezer's "Keep Fishin'." Since this was me and my brother as Danger Bros., it was drum and bass only.
I am pretty sure this is how an encore should be handled. It felt awesome.
Tehz:
I'd still pay a pretty decent amount of money to see them live.
I'm still convinced that it would be totally worth it. Speaking of which, how much did you pay? Or were you one of the lucky ones who got a free ticket?
Jackie Blue:
I'm pretty sure that almost literally nobody paid to get in. The venue holds probably 500-600 people, I know for certain that around 300 free tickets were obtained, and I heard a few people in line to get in say that "The show is free whether you have a ticket or not."
Rumor has it that this is because ticket sales were bad at first, when the show was booked at a smaller venue owned by the same people, so they switched the show over to the "Grand Opening Night!!!!" of the new venue thinking that a lot of people would show up just because it's a new venue.
They were apparently right. Like I said, seriously 90% of the crowd clearly had no clue who the band was, and about half of them were 18 year old Scene Chicks looking kind of bored.
