Cali - That was a NYC Airborne show - but it wasnt either of their 'scheduled' shows at Webster Hall. It was some show being promoted by Rolling Stone magazine the night before their first show at Webster Hall. It was some guestlist-only party, which was really a bunch of 20-somethings who must have consumed mass quantities of free beer, because every other sentence out of their mouth was 'I am so drunk. Lets make out'. And then theyd all push and shove to the front just so they could talk and make-out with each other during the show.
I was beyond horrified and the lead singer of ATE didnt look too happy either. RS really messed up - the place was half full and since the doors opened like 3 hours + before ATE came on - most people were _really_ drunk.
Electric Touch opened and apparently that was a train wreck as well.
I missed most of the early excitement as I was watching the Kings get their ass handed to them by the Rangers. Truly horrific night!
The ATE covers were quite good, but they did play a lot of them.
Im with you on not leaving till the lights are up and Im literally being told I have to leave. I was pleading with security at Roseland as one of the techs was trying to get me a setlist from the Pysch Furs. Alas, no setlist for any of us.
It was funny to see Airborne Toxic Event walk off to never come back and play their encore they had listed. The crowd was awful.
was this the NY shows or the DC show? i cant remember last weeks set.
i agree, i dont like the fake encores either - just play all the songs. if the band needs a break, just say so and take one like the dandys do or let one person play something acoustically while the others have a break.
i've noticed most crowds at shows here leave as soon as the last song is played. many really begin to filter out about 1.5 hours into the show. i dont leave until the lights come on and the techs start removing equipment, unless i dont care for the band
