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?

[azaghal1981]

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

[Yada]

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

hahah, really??

I wouldn't be surprised, but that's pretty lame.

[azaghal1981]

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

[Bags]

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

[azaghal1981]

It might be different this year for all we know.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

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.

[azaghal1981]

Same shit, different year

[sweetcell]

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.

[azaghal1981]

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.

[sweetcell]

And yeah, I guess I was jumping to conclusions re: setlist.

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

[sweetcell]

so, anyone been to the show yet?  thoughts?  same old same old?

i'm going tonight, will post my impressions tomorrow morning.

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

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.

[sweetcell]

some band's "same old same" old is better that other's "brand new"
