Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

Duran Duran  w/ Nile Rodgers
Verizon Center
4/8

Recently, I was thinking that they'd be a perfect "surprise at the club" act.

That would've been a cool surprise, but they seem to be a bit too big to play the club. Regardless, I will definitely be there, it should be awesome.

But Verizon seems too big. Just goes to highlight the lack of mid-size venues.

Echo Stage? Isn't that dump around 5k?

It's going to be a 'classic pop' concert full of anthems and pyro and dancers and back-up musicians. It seems  pretty tailor-made for a smaller arena.

Mid-size venues that aren't dumps. And have tiered seating. MPP minus the lawn.

Just remembered that a 6K venue is being built at The Wharf and will be run by Seth. Anybody know its status?

Pretty sure that is many years away from completion.

i have not been to many shows there (I think two total) and did not have complaints with the sound for either.

Wavves/Best Coast
9:30 2/15

Best Coast is a great band. "California Nights" is one of my favorite LPs of the year.

Nile Rodgers means for sure they play Wild Boys.. worst song ever.

[walk,on,by]

dude.  really.  wild boys.  best song ever, live.  when they cranked it at the warner theatre, comeback show, the place went dynamite like old lady ushers have never seen.

the Verizon show will be a return to eighties heyday era duran duran.  I predict a stage and light show to make coldplay, go damn.
