Title: First time at Wolf Trap for B&S, any suggestions?
Post by: Thousand Made-Up Loves on June 10, 2022, 09:45:52 am
Gonna make it to the esteemed NOVA institution, Wolf Trap, for the Belle and Sebastian show on Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it. Any suggestions? Apparently the capacity of the amphitheater is 7,000. That is much smaller than I originally imagined.

Are the seats BYOB or is that just the lawn? Can you still BYOB?

We'll be taking the Metro from DC. I know there is a Fairfax Connector bus running from McLean metro station.

Any other suggestions? This will be my sixth time seeing B&S and I have been very impressed with their setlists.

In the meantime, I'll get myself fired up for the show by listening to this epic performance of theirs from 9:30 in 2006. The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner is such an amazing song. Still gives me goosebumps to hear it live.

I don’t think one can take drinks to seats but you can leave cooler to side of pavilion

If you have seats you don’t have to worry about getting there early to claim real estate on lawn

They changed the seating configuration right? Otherwise if you are in the middle don’t get high as you have to navigate through 75 people

byob is only for the lawn, don't think they will allow you to bring BYOB to the seats.  could buy one drink and keep the cup and do what starsky suggested (bring a cooler full of beer and leave it some where on the lawn and keep going back to get refils)
the b and s crowd seems very unlikely to take your cooler or contents...but who knows

Otherwise if you are in the middle don’t get high as you have to navigate through 75 people
so can you get high if it's only 25 people?

Apparently the capacity of the amphitheater is 7,000. That is much smaller than I originally imagined.
this seems off...does that just mean the pav is 7K?  as I think 7k could fit on the lawn alone, but I'm horrible at crowd sizes

I was thinking of going too...but getting a tooth extracted that afternoon, so seems like a bad plan to make plans after that

From sideputz:
so can you get high if it's only 25 people?

Me: well even high 25 people seems doable but when you had to get through 75 seats -with most people sitting down -while buzzed and stoned , for me it kind of sucked

just did a quick check on their website and they have updated policies for 2022
https://www.wolftrap.org/policies.aspx?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1db9no6j-AIVoj6tBh14XgiiEAAYASACEgIo9fD_BwE#filene

Size Guidelines for Coolers and Bags:
NEW maximum size for 2022: Allowable coolers size is no larger than 18”x 16” x 12”
Coolers with wheels are allowed as long as they do not exceed size limits.
Allowable bag size (including suitcases, duffel bags or backpacks) is no larger than 14”x 13” x 10”
No more than two items per person. Blankets, ground cloths, and purses are allowed and do not count toward the two item per person limit.


didn't know you couldn't bring food you bought at WT to your seat
Visitors with in-house seating may not take food to their seats. Visitors are welcome to purchase food inside the ticketed area, but must consume it on the Plaza or picnic table

did a quick check and they are only like 50% sold seats in the Pav
So if you were making a day of decision...I'd definitely check the ticket resellers as their might be some good deals

I do think when that happens day of show...they should just randomly upgrade a few thousand lawn seats
seems weird to play to a half empty pav when there are a few thousand people on the lawn

Pavilion drink policy was updated a few years ago. You must purchase a Wolf Trap plastic cup with snap lid, but once you have that, you can bring the drink to the seat. You still have to leave your cooler on the side.  Can confirm one bottle of wine splits perfectly between two Wolf Trap cups.

protip: to kill time while waiting for the show to start, engage in a game of "spot the visible minority."  it's surprisingly hard challenge at a B&S show - the Duotrigordle of the concert-people-watching world.  i love me some Stuart Murdoch & Co., but.... VANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLA

does JB have co-billing with B&S?  do you really expect their set to be as long as the headliners?

i'm completely uninformed here, but i'd expect something like:
730-8. Los bitchos
815-9 JB
930-11 B&S

(make minor adjustments as needed, 8:20 instead of 815, etc.)

TAN: i used the word "proviso" at work yesterday, and people were utterly confused.  "we can deploy on the 28th, with the proviso that we get signoff from QA by the 17th" = blank stares.  you'd think i was speaking latin...

Yes, it appears that a co-headliner billing is the case.

Japanese Breakfast should be headlining. She put out one one the best albums AND one of the best books of 2021, and just playedSNL.

Belle and Sebastian was only a decent live  band in their prime, which was 15+ years ago.

If you are taking metro there, price out how much it would cost to ride share back to DC. It is an utter PITA to get home via public transport from Wolftrap. It's taken me up to 2 hours in years past to come home and I live on the southern end of DC (shuttle bus, to just missed the orange line at west falls church and wait 18 minutes to l'enfant to transfer and wait another 20 minutes for that line). Getting out is fine during the work week due to enhanced trains (well, not now, thanks WMATA) but getting home kills your good music vibe.

You can bring water bottles into the pavillion. Just not food or something that isn't concealed in a water bottle. Any coolers/blankets/etc you can leave on the side but not bring in.

I was just there for Gypsy Kings on Sunday and it was a really lovely experience.

I'm sure the B&S will be great; I'm going too, but I wish it was just them for a solid 2 hours and no one else!

The 930 shows from 2006 was my first time at the 930!  (flew from California)


In the meantime, I'll get myself fired up for the show by listening to this epic performance of theirs from 9:30 in 2006. The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner is such an amazing song. Still gives me goosebumps to hear it live.

Was this the HoF kerfuffle where they announced a late show AFTER the first show sold out and people lost their minds because they were sure the (now) early show they had tickets to would have a shorter encore because of the time constraints?

Or was that before 2006?

only gotcha would be can take a while to get into the parking lot and walk to the venue...like budget 30 mins, so arriving at 7:30 if you want to be at your seat/lawn by 8

Pretty awesome time last night. Stuart was in rare form. Other than Axl Rose or one of the GNR guys in the late 80s early 90s, he's the rock star I wish I was. What a life.

Good setlist. Sad they didn't play any Write About Love songs while playing four songs from the Life Pursuit. Good album, but not worth playing at the expense of other albums.

Piazza NY Catcher is better when it's just Stuart singing with guitar playing. The song is supposed to represent loneliness, which is better represented without the full band playing it.

Was great to hear deep cuts A Summer Wasting and Song for Sunshine. If She Wants Me may be the most underrated B&S deep cut. Such a great track.

Wolf Trap is a really nice venue, too bad it's out in BFE. What's the deal with the lame alcohol rules in the seats? They don't want spilled booze to ruin the plastic seats and concrete flooring? Makes zero sense. But thanks to the beer guy for not opening my beer and allowing me to sneak it into the seats.

Props to all the attractive women who came out for B&S. Certainly enjoyed that.

It would be so easy for B&S to mail it in and just play the same songs every show except for changing up three or four. So many bands do that. Instead, they rotate through 50-60 songs (guessing) so every show is going to have pretty different setlists. That takes a lot of work and takes a truly professional band that cares about providing value to their fans to embrace. On that note, I'd pay 2x as much for tickets for an all B-side or single night. #Ilovemycar

How long a “snippet “ was it…. On set list like three songs are listed as snippets

You can take anything to the seats as long as it's in one of their sippy cups. Same cups you get at the KenCen.

I assume you could buy one cup and use it gor many years to come?

Im at the show tonight. $97 ticket for $39, with fees included. I should have driven to the parking lot and gotten a ticket. Seats were down to $18 with fees included.

Sukie in the Graveyard, I'm a Cuckoo, and Another Sunny Day are pretty much overdone...they just irritate me now.

This is like going to a Tori Amos show....you either will have an amazing setlist, or a boring one.

I'd say this setlist is a 6/7.   They could've done more from the new one!

Hard to top the show I saw at Union Transfer in 2019:

Yes, it's pretty stupid to force patrons to pay an extra $6 to bring their drinks to their seats. There's no legitimate defense of this lame policy, so stuff it.

Even worse that you could BYOB and get blotto drunk on the lawn but heaven forbid anyone bring drinks to their seats.

There were people behind me who had (larger) refillable cups of something, that weren't the refillable sippy cups sold by Wolftrap. And though it looked like their cups had secure tops, they still managed to spill some of their beverage all over my head and back as they stumbled to their seats.

Perhaps if they had invested in the $6 sippy cups,. this would not have happened. People at concerts tend not to really care about the people who are around them, so I figured it's par for the course. I was just glad people decided to stay seated for all three acts.

the majority of twitter accounts are anonymous - we have no idea who is behind a given account (unless the account owner IDs him/herself).  before today, we had no idea what hutch's twitter account is.

hutch essentially outed himself - he showed us his account name in that screenshot, so we now know that he's behind the "@barbasupers..." account.  this in turn means we can follow him, DM him, etc.  it's not a huge hit, really, jules was playing up the implications...

many people want to keep their online anonymity.  being "outed" as the person behind an account can, potentially, have consequences ("wait - for years now i've been following the musical recommendations of some long-haired government-employed 50-something suburban dad??  UNSUBSCRIBE!!!").

youtube is different.  for the most part, wannabe youtube millionnaires/influencers/asshats appear in front of the camera, so at a minimum you see their face - that's one aspect of anonymity that's lost.  you don't have to disclose your identity and you can hide behind a non-identifying account name, but anyone who gains popularity will inevitably be identified/outed.
