Execrable...along with the ill advised Petty cover...


But the crowd seemed to lap it up

I enjoyed both; both were weaved into Shins songs, Petty was more of a snippet than a cover.

I went to see Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile last night and was surprised to find that it was a seated show.  If I had known we'd have come a bit earlier.  I sat on the main floor center, second row just after the aisle break.  Not sure if it was just where we were, but for the first two songs the lights that were swirling down into the crowd were absolutely blinding.  Uncomfortable to the point where I stopped looking at the stage.  Thankfully, they stopped that after the second song.

The show itself was a lot of fun.  Kurt seemed sober and the show was better than their joint record.

Yeah the seating thing was a surprise to me too
It actually was a lot more packed than I thought it would be
I saw some from up top, but while the sight lines are great...sound isn't that great if you are in the standing room area up behind the super special seats...so moved down by the soundboard

Sound was tight and thought they sounded great
I felt they put on a great show

I thought Janet Weiss was touring with them..don't think she was behind the kit

Well, that's lame...

1. Sit down shows should be announced
2. Not sure why that specific show would be a sit down 
3. I'm assuming that's a trick of the trade when it's a 2500 person show vs. a 6000 person show.

Kurt and Courtney was good last night, but I agree that it should have been more widely publicized that it was a sit-down show (though I did notice that my ticket said "GA Seating" instead of "GA Standing"). It was funny seeing Courtney politely ask the audience to stand up and dance a few times before some brave souls took her up on the challenge.

I would be shocked...I will be there on the 11th and will see if I find anything out...it had not occured to me as remotely possible...Any reason you think it might be?

Mellow show.... Old crowd... he's old as dirt... I'm guessing not close to sold out...

Bob usually attracts a contingent of young ones although most fans are older....I have seen him in arenas with GA standing and assigned seats..
A lot of his repertoire is fairly rockin..
Yesterday for grizzly bear it was much less packed than Courtney and there were no seats on floor..Lesh had no seats on floor either

I have noticed a lot of ads about show on my FB feed

Likewise regarding the ads... I'm assuming sales ain't good.
