Encores
tacroy:
The concept of a planned encore doesn't really bother me so much. So long as the show is good, it's cool that the band comes back out to play more. Granted, the whole "leave the stage for 5 minutes" concept is rather gimmicky, but it's not the end of the world.
That said, I saw an amazing encore at the Metric concert last night. Dead Disco was turned into a 20 minute song, with a long solo in the middle. The band also invited a random kid up from the crowd to rap for a while (he was pretty good). At the end, everyone randomly got up on stage and danced with the band. It was crazy, and I love it.

I'm not sure if Rammstein really had encores as such, or just breaks for costume changes. First time I thought they'd done an encore, Till re-entered through a door underneath the drums with robotic flame-throwers strapped to his arms.
When I saw Pitchshifter, their vocalist got up front at the end of their set and said:
"Well, basically, now's normally the time when we'd tell you how much better you were than Norwich, dim the lights, wait a bit, get some chanting, come back on and encore, but we really can't be fucked with all that shit tonight, so we're going to play the encore songs now."
and then they just added the songs to the end of their set.

I'm slightly bitter about Metric. They just cancelled a show in my town (that was selling plenty of tickets) so that they could do a third show in Edmonton.
Also, I saw (courtesy of Johnny C) a very embarrassing live version of "Dead Disco" where Emily Haines starts naming different canadian bands in the middle of the song.
"I see Staaaaaaaaaaaaars."
"Broken Social Scene. Broken Social Scene."

Jeez man, when Rammstein takes the hooks out of their nipples it's nearly impossible to get them to play an encore.

Paul McCartney did two encores when I saw him. It was annoying simply because of the amount of time he left inbetween each one.
