Fillmore SS Shows

[Yada]

Anyone else wonder if and how profitable Fillmore SS has been.
I mean I've always had precocious (or as an adult, classist/hipster) musical tastes, but am I just so old that I can't tell that the majority of the acts billed there are relevant? Shouldn't there be at least a few bands a month/year/decade that would catch my eye? I mean they're hosting proms and silent dance parties. Is it that unprofitable to host a few local showcases once in awhile (now that's just a loser band jerk gripe)?

It's 100% not profitable... I'm sure you could find the information here or the Google, but this was a heated topic on here years ago. I'm pretty sure they received millions of dollars in funding/tax credits/etc. I'm sure it some point in the coming years it will become a Fuddruckers or something.

They had Carly Rae Jepsen last summer. I don't know how much more "they're clowning on IMP" you can get?

Speaking of punching the clown, wonder what's going on with the fearless leader lately?

There was a Fuddruckers within walking distance but it closed, just like most of the other locations.

Then crisp and juicy.

Always room for more 🐔

I knew about the subsidies and all that, but unless their business model is based on profit/loss tax games, you would think that they would try and have a variety of acts, considering that the I.M.P. manages to shake up their offerings. I mean considering the scale of LiveNation.
Though, Amazon "runs at a loss" so... Business!

did anyone else go to the Heilung show last night?  Is it normal to take 2 hours for everyone to get inside during sold out shows? good lord - they had to delay the show by 1 hour because not everyone was inside yet.  Doors were at 7, we showed up at 7:15 and the line wrapped all the way around the block behind the fillmore.  We moved maybe a few feet in 45 minutes - took us 1 hour to make it inside (we made it inside at 8:15, show was supposed to start at .  It seemed something changed around 8pm and the line started moving much faster.  Totally insane though.

Reports people...we want to live vicariously though them

[Vas Deferens]

it's always like that even at non-sold out shows (the line wrapping around the block, etc)

my friend told me it's way oversold?

Haven't been to the Fillmore in a few years, but I'm pretty sure this is caused by a butts/nuts search and a metal detector.

sooooo... other than long lines and a lack of nudity, how was the actual show?  people were hyping this like the next coming of radiohead - t'was it?
