my 2nd time at Echostage.... the sound was shitty at the Replacements gig, and then again for the opener last night, so I was not expecting much, but then as if by magic, it was nice and clear for B&S..... wandered up to the club at about 7:30, half hour after doors opened and was shocked to see long lines still waiting to get in..... a bunch of police cars and some crew with a professional video/movie camera out front.... anyway, there were pretty invasive pat downs before you could get in, which explained why the lines were still there, it was pretty slow going.....I wonder why that was the case at this particular show?? this was my first B&S gig, and probably my last.... like Springsteen, I recognize the talent, musicianship, etc, but for some reason the music just doesn't speak to me at all..... don't know why, it just didn't..... agree with those that said that it still felt full but a bit more relaxed than the Replacements, was able to maintain a semblance of personal space.... also agree that the A/C wasn't working as well as it had at the Mats gig, it was hot that day too but pretty comfortable inside the club..... last night it was pretty hot....
