Anyone heading out to see Dolores O'Riordan tonight? I'm in DJ catbird seat tonight, trying not to let my mainstream 90s rock favs peek out to much. Reviews indicate that her show is split between solo and Cranberries material. Don't forget the earplugs though as two people in other cities have commented that it's a VERY LOUD concert.

you should just play marcy playground on a loop

If I was still in town I'd be going.

Me too, mank.

I'll be there, though the party looks to be at Ft. Reno...but considering I'm chicago bound for the weekend, the last thing I need after the last two nights is a party...so Dolores let's keep it chill :cool:
-
Can I go back and add the Cranberries to my worst band list? Damn, I had forgotten they ever existed.
-
I saw the Cranberries as support band for The The yonks ago at Lisner and said after two songs they'd make the big time, which they did. Not exactly U2, but they did very well for themselves for a bunch of kids from Stab-city.
Her voice is amazing regardless of what you think of their music.
-
canceled! Poor ticket sales?
-
i heard it was a toothache or something...
-
Toothache my ass! She read Mank's post and beelined it straight down to Florida for some fun, sun and a little O'Mankie appreciation.
-
Does anyone remember the fateful Cranberries show on the mall, where people were moshing...to the Cranberries?
-
Don't people make the same argument for Celine Dion and Whitney Houston?

I remember that show. It was that stupid bitch in the front who wouldn't get off her boyfriends shoulders who started the moshing. Someone threw a chocolate pudding cup at her.
The one and only time I skipped school...along with 40,000 other seniors.
-
Will the show be rebooked at the State Theater? Maybe JAXX?

I even scored her a ticket for Moz tomorrow in Boca.

me too, except i was in 10th grade. in fact, my mom gave me permission :)
-
I called my parents and told them I was skipping school to go hang out in Fells. I'm pretty sure they knew I was going to the concert though.
geez, that was a long time ago!

along the lines of if a tree falls in the forest does it make it a sound if no one is there to hear, does what a dj spins to a empty house because the doors never opened count?

Didn't someone steal a guitar of theirs at that gig?

Yes! I think that news made the Post next day. (I think I recall the pudding cup - and she was pretty pissed, right? But I definitely remember news of the guitar being swiped.) Didn't they stop having the lunchtime shows after that?
I was too worried to leave work, plus I figured it was over-crowded.
All right, Charlie, now you're just being silly by comparing her to Celine or Whitney. You might not like SP, or the Stripes, but me thinks you are irritated with the Cranberries b/c they were all over the airwaves. They were a pretty decent 90s band, and she's lovely. It was especially nice to have a powerful female lead singer before Garbage, et al.
-
Oh, I wasn't online last night to see the cancellation news. When was it announced? No word as to why, huh?
Times like these I would like text messages from ticketing outlets...I would have gone to the show without checking here first, had I not been working.
Either way, I've been saved two times this week. Ryan Adams' show in C'ville was cancelled as well (a Beastie Boys like travel debacle was the cause).

Wow -- it got cancelled late enough that they had you in there already playing?!?
Unfortunately, I think if a DJ spins and no one hears it, it doesn't count. But the club staff heard you, right?

yeah, apparently word came down around the time the doors were suppose to open, so they were delayed until a decision could be reached.

hsftival.com is just as informative as this board!

"Injury cancels Washington, DC show
July 12th, 2007
A dental injury has canceled Dolores O??Riordan??s planned show at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC tonight.
A member of the crew told Zombieguide that Dolores broke her front tooth on a Japanese rice cracker at dinner. She did not show up for the 5:00 PM soundcheck as planned, and evidently never left her tour bus. Concert goers saw crew returning Dolores??s clothes and personal effects to the tour bus after 7:30.
Staff members for the 9:30 Club announced the cancellation around 8:00 (first announced as a postponement, later changed to a cancellation).
A person close to Dolores reported that she was in quite a lot of pain, but ??were lining up dentists as we speak.?
It is currently unknown if Dolores will perform tomorrow night??s scheduled Philadelphia show. Crew members were preparing for the trip to Philadelphia, but did not know if it would occur as scheduled.
Fans who bought tickets will receive full refunds from their place of purchase through July 27th according to verbal announcements at the show and a post on the 9:30 Club website. Major online ticket vendors such as Ticketmaster should refund automatically."
I don't know the poster's source...The reference to TM is obviously wrong.
Um, I'm not even going to touch the reason for the cancel. ;P
Still curious, basically news was told to those outside club and then posted online? I still want a text message. My worst nightmare is driving all the way to a show to have it cancelled. I don't generally log on before I leave for a show, do you?

Those Irish and their lousy oral hygeine...

No ones stopping you from setting up a text message system to the phone number of each person who has ever bought a ticket to a concert or sporting event. But why stop at whether the show is still going on or not? It can send you messages as to how long the line to get in is, the set list (in real time in case your running late), which bars have the hot bartenders and shortest lines, etc. Go ahead, make millions.

No...not exactly what I was gearing for...Something along the lines of what they do at SXSW. I suppose one's phone number would have to be set up for texting from tickets.com for cancellations. Just brainstorming...

Well, this is similar to what they do at SXSW...They announce last minute shows or changes, etc. You go ahead, I think people who have to be connected 24/7 would like your idea.

I suppose next you'll be wanting airlines to call you personally if a flight is delayed.

Delayed? I can check. Canceled? They do. :roll:

I said 'call you personally', besides, seeing as we have to be at the airport 6 weeks before our flight departs these days you just check on the monitor to see if it's delayed.
