I believe they canceled both the Atlantis and 930 gigs.

I bailed on the Julien Baker Atlantis show.  Missed opportunity

Oh

No, I had COVID and had to skip both.  They played:

The T Mobile connection came back and we three walked into the Atlantis at the totally rock and roll time of 6:20, as the opener was finishing their set. It was loud and the opener sucked. My daughter's first comment was "Can we please leave?"

But we didn't, and Nada Surf came on at 6:57pm. They're one of my favorites, and were reliably good. They did 17 songs, five of them new, and were done in 80 minutes. A totally truncated show.

Another boardie told me the late show (that was added after the original show sold out) lasted two hours and 24 songs.

How's that for some scheduling bullshit?

Boardie Vas Deferens tells me that second setlist is incomplete. He says they went on at 10:30, played at least 24 songs, and finished at 12:30.

I guess the silver lining was that we were able to grab some dinner and still be home by 10, allowing my wife some sleep before her 5:30am work phone call with someone in India.

Never a fan of the two shows in a night but it’s interesting to note that in the 1940s and 50s multiple shows per day was the norm and it wasn’t uncommon to have 20-30 minute sets. Guys like Sinatra played six shows a day! The early rock and roll shows packaged together various performers with each artist performing their hit….Even into the late 60s rock shows rarely went over an hour. The Beatles in Hamburg played show after show after show until 4 am. Once the Beatles made it their concerts weren’t much more than 12 two minute songs!

Beat (Adrian Belew era King Crimson) at Warner Theater.   Great show and was happy to see it was a sell out.  It's nice to see this tour be so welcomed by fans as there doesn't seem to be a more genuinely nice guy than Adrian Belew. And you can tell he just loves to perform this music.  The show just oozed excellent musicianship with Belew, Stevie Vai, Tony Levin and Tool drummer Danny Carey.  They hit all the highlights of 3 Belew era King Crimson albums Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair.  I was blown away by Stevie Vai's guitar work, as well as all the others.
