Thievery Corporation

How was last night's show?? How long was the show?

Can you expect basically the same show every night or do they switch their setlists?

It was the exact same thing each night last year down to the stage banter.

Yeah, it was lame. I caught two shows and noticed it; heard the same thing from people who caught more.

That's pretty galling consider they specifically sell multi-night packages.

Every time they've done multi-night stands, it has been the EXACT same show, night in, night out. Don't assume any different, we do every year, and we're wrong every time.

Same shit, different year

uh, what in the article makes you say that, azag?  there's not mention of a setlist, and only one song is mentioned.  for all that we know, half the show could have been b-sides and rarities.

same visuals?  yeah, there are only so many ways to set up this kind of a band.  and once you've spent all that money on those fancy pixel-boards, ya gotta get your money's worth outta them.

i'm willing to give TC the benefit of the doubt.  their set a year and a half ago at MPP kicked ass.

the article's report about the over-powering bass and high volume levels is disturbing.  if true, i hope they fix it.

The volume was just as brutal at the club last year. For some odd reason, I guess they like it that way. And yeah, I guess I was jumping to conclusions re: setlist. And the setup does sound like what one would expect for TC.

yeah, well that was me playing devil's advocate.  i'd happily bet that i can guess 90% of the setlist... sigh.

Wow, you guys throw around things like "lame," and "same old same old," and they even repeat the stage banter?   And yet you still go?  I honestly don't understand it.
