12:30 AM set time for Peter Murphy is absurd

[Yada]

Just walked to work from the 930 Club... show just ended about an hour ago.

[TonyTonorro]

what I'm hearing is that a (slightly) older crowd does not want to be out that late, probably especially on a weekday

we were concerned about that on this one, but this was the only date to do the show and we already had the earlier show booked

perhaps it would've been better to let it play elsewhere

anyway, duly noted and, yes, we listen

I did stay to the end (2:15) and did greatly enjoy it.  There is certainly no better venue to hear Peter Murphy than the 9:30 club and despite my complaints, ultimately, I would prefer you do what you did rather than pass up on the show.  I guess the problem came from the unusal situation where both bills had three bands.  My only advice would be to try to minimize this and do your best to compress schedules without compromising set length.  Could you have started the first show earlier?

Oh, and I am "slightly" older only by the calendar

Agreed.  I really enjoyed this show and was glad to see it at the 9:30 Club.

TonyTonorro I do agree with you about shows with the Headliner starting late.  There have been a few shows that go late at 9:30 Club that I have seen.  Foo Fighters 2005, Beastie Boys due to the train being late, Live after headlining the HFStival in 2001 at 1:30 a.m. in the morning and Robert Rudoph and the Family Band.  There have been 3 shows I think at 9:30 Club in one day back in 2002 show in the afternoon and 2 different shows at night.  TonyTonorro I do agree people have to go to work.  How about weekend shows end late past Midnight to 2 or 3 a.m. in the morning and weekday shows have to end no matter what at 1 a.m. and doors have to open no later than 10 p.m.

Last call is at 2 on weeknights.


Honestly, we're spoiled with concerts ending as early as they do in DC. In every other city I know of, shows letting out before 12:00 are the exception, not the rule. Be grateful that we only have to encounter this a few shows a year. Just ask anyone from the Baltimore area what the average end time for a show is. If you get the occasional show that ends late, either suck it up or stay home.
Sounds as though those who sucked it up in this case are happy they did.

I've been to many Peter Murphy shows before and I had never seen him play past 60 minutes.  You could set a clock to it.  But for this one, he played a full 90 minute set.

This set list doesn't match what I remember.  Particularly in the encores.  There was no third encore and the second was Ziggy Stardust.

If you guys got all of those Bauhaus tracks (plus Deep Ocean Vast Sea), then I'm going to kick myself for not going.

I talked to the drummer of the band when they came down to Richmond last March. He was telling me that the show hardly ever follows the setlist, that Peter just changes it up so often. The printed setlist is kinda just "something to follow". Peter loves improvisation.

Thanks for the link, Kosmo. Do you guys post setlists regularly on that site?

The posting of band setlists on the 9:30 Club Tumblr is a recent addition, which I have nothing to do with..

It's because it wasn't a traditional type of encore.  He definitely played  NIN's "Hurt" a la Cash style...
