It’s certainly ambitious considering the last time they played Anthem there couldn’t have been more than 1500 there…AND that they are playing The National relatively nearby
Will be interesting to see…
I was surprised they didn’t announce something like playing Sinister album to get tickets to move…
TBT the only time I saw Belle was at Anthem and I enjoyed it a lot! Got up real close… I had tickets to see them their first time in DC area at Black Cat but had to be out of town for work. That hurt.
Sorry to say that the Black Cat show was one for the books. I saw them in Chicago at the Metro on that tour, and it wasn't great. By the time they got to DC, they worked out whatever issues were bugging them (<cough>Isobel and Stuart</cough>) and it was a fantastic performance. The Anthem show was definitely one where I was like "this shoulda been at the 9:30". If Philly is great, I might try to see the Anthem gig, but I'm not counting on it. I hate to be someone that dumps on a venue, but it's got to be the right band to fill the space. And it's really hit or miss for me. Sometimes the energy in that room dissipates and performances fall flat, no matter how good the band. It's a bummer.
