Title: $1.01 shows
Post by: Whinny51092 on February 03, 2003, 10:24:00 pm
I don't want to buy my ticket from TicketBastard cos it'll end up costing four times as much for the damn charges they put on, but I don't want to show up on the 23rd and have it sold out.  I imagine Evanescense won't sell out, but do people generally get excited about a show for just a dollar and go anyway?  Do they usually get pretty packed?  Thanks!  (http://www.930.com/ubb/smile.gif)

I usually try to go to all the $1 dollar shows cause lets face it.....You cant get anything for a buck these days.

The only $1 show I ever went to was Beth Orton with Kelly Willis. They just don't get artists like that for $1 any more.

I wonder if Sonick still thinks Evanescence is a fantastic band?

Hahaha...I was bored and digging through old threads a while ago and came across this one. I thought about bumping it for that exact reason but decided to spare him the embarrassment.

Goddamn, remember when all the telco companies were going buck wild with those 10-10/collect numbers? What ever happened to that business model?

I was actually at that 1.01 Evanescence show.  It was cheap, and I had been intrigued by their decent mix of piano/nu-metal.  And the lead singer had an amazing voice.  The show itself?  Pretty crappy.  The redeeming feature of the band was their willingness to soften up and thrown in classical-style piano, and live there was no piano whatsoever.  Just bland nu-metal guitar sound.  The lead guitarist had a major attitude.  Even though he came down and was signing autographs directly after the concert, he was acting like God's gift to concert-goers, not like some (at the time) barely known band.

hilarious.
 
   we left that show 4 songs in thinking "why did we just drive to DC for that?"  I enjoyed that song for a little while.  she was a total boob onstage though.

I remember the artists were introduced by a WHFS dj, who received quite a few boos.
 
 He introduced Beth Orton and Kelly Willis as if his station actually played their music.
