when the shins only had one 30 minute album, how did they manage to do shows of more than 30 minutes of are they like the strokes?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Yes, I sort of re-thought what I said after I posted.
 
    In the cases of bands like GBV, with huge back catalogs, no doubt you can possibly get two totally different shows in succession.
 
    Doesn't seem like it could possibly be that way with the Shins.
 
    Then again, it's probably a case of me being an old man, but I don't like seeing shows on successive nights, even if it's two very different BANDS. One or two shows a month satiates my "needs", more than that diminishes the excitement for me.

If you say so, I saw the two best shows I have ever seen at the same venue two nights in a row.  And the sets were different by over 20 songs. [/b]

Yes, me.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

They don't. They're both priced at a wonderfully reasonable $12 per show. It's the 9:30 Club that insists on taking all your money.

don't get me wrong. nuttin but love for the 'cat, but when you throw $30 worth of beer on top of that (for lsf at least) its all my money. shit, looks like i will have to go into the big bad city some night this week for ted tix

[broadkat]

you really think ted leo's gonna sell out the cat?  if i were a bettin man i'd bet not.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

drink at home before you walk or metro there. if you don't live within walking/metro distance and are driving you shouldn't be drinking $30 in beer anyway.

 Not really, the face value of most tics for 930 shows are reasonable...it's just that the 930 is like most every other venue in the U,S of A, and don't give a rats arse about the fact that ticketbasard and tickets.scam royally shaft us with a big old rotary rose bush. If all these venues got together they could do something about it, because after all it is money out of their own coffers because we all spend less at the shows.

ahh come on. . .i'm sure you'd have just as much fun at a certain holiday party.  

[godsshoeshine]

some one else will drive, i hope. if not, then no, i won't spend $30 on beer. more like $15 on beer and $15 on a t-shirt. i have no self control. but seriously, why isn't there a metro at bailey's crossroads? i would never move if there was.

The current 27 shows on the 9:30 calendar have an average ticket price of $23.50, nearly twice as much as the Shins show. And nothing on the 9:30 schedule is even half as good as a Shins show, imo. And Black Cat shows hardly ever for over $15.
