I think the Metro Gallery was the wrong venue for Loop....would have been better at the Ottobar.

What was wrong with metro gallery?

[Got Haggis?]

sight lines blow at metro for crowded shows

sound is also inferior to ottobar

I went to see Queens of the Stone Age w/ Warpaint on Thursday in San Francisco. All I can say is that I hope they finally announce something close enough in the area because I think a lot of you would really enjoy it. It was easily one of their best performances, and I've seen them a lot. "...Like Clockwork" just gets better and better. For as much as I enjoy their earlier work, the best songs of the night were things like "I Appear Missing" and "Kalopsia". And "I Wanna Make It Wit Chu".

^ did you like Bill Graham Civic?

I preferred Jowe Head/Fleeting Glimpses "Vertical Slum>Full Moon in my Pocket>Mother Sky" to Loop's "Mother Sky." Solid Loop set but yeah they definitely cut a song or two from the usual setlist.

Agreed.  Stage is way too low and those pillars make things tight.

[Hexenjagd]

I have often wondered why they don't raise the stage a foot or two.  They definitely have the ceiling space...

As a venue of that size, I didn't mind it at all. My only gripes: sound was just OK. I've been spoiled lately I guess. And the merch line was kind of ridiculous. But I would definitely see another show there. I don't think the QOTSA show was even sold out though. Which makes me think maybe a venue like Merriweather or even Patriot Center would be too big for them to headline.

Wow that was a cold noise show last night... Hey promoters, save the outdoor shows for May and beyond!

The wind was killer! It was still worth it!

[emmanuel]

hahaha. I wish I was at that show, sounds it was a really cool night!

In his intro, the Windup Space guy mentioned it was too bad there were
two good shows in Baltimore yesterday. Chicago Underground was good,
although with a very small crowd, and no one bothered to ask for an encore.
(short night - 60 min. - no opener). but seated and warm!

[Hexenjagd]

It was really fun.  Too bad about the cold - but we survived.

You guys complain too much.  The Metro Gallery is nicer place for sold-out shows as there are less people per square foot.  Plus it is cleaner. I never had problem seeing anyone there.

[StoneTheCrow]

But you're also pretty tall so sight lines may not let be as much old an issue.

Their couches were nice. Gotta give credit there.
