I mean you know they sold out a seated anthem?

I think there were some SRO tickets…


So 3400 tickets max?

Obviously they are not going to move that many tickets

I don’t think they have to in order for them or the promoter  to make a tidy sum

I am out of town or this would be a slam dunk..I would be in the pit


I guess I am different but I enjoy the drive which is a part of the pregame..with the right friend(s) it can be fun driving up there.. and on the way back you talk about the show and bask in the afterglow..done it dozens of times

We call that the "post show glow" where I'm from.

Yeah!


Some day I will learn what I did to Sidehatch at the Cure show at Merriweather


The way I remember it we had pit tickets… I picked him up and drove him there and back… yes traffic was bad going up but we had fantastic music and made it in plenty of time…show was fabulous…like a dream….the Cure even performed his favorite song “Push”…we were like equivalent  10th row center in pit!!

Now you mention Merriweather and the TERROR grips him…the ticket prices! The distance!! The hassle

I'd go for the Cure again, short list of other bands
I just don't like shed shows and 45 min drives to get to them

New order is on that list..but $175 and a split bill with the Poop shop boys didn't thrill me

When I am at the pit at Merriweather I feel like I am at the 930 club! You are that close! I have seen so many great shows…had so many great times there from pit! Only thing that sucks is the difficulty getting a steady provision of drinks….

 Iron Maiden, LCD Soundsystem, Cure, NewOrder, Phish (ok this one sucked), Dylan/Costello, Wilco (twice), Dylan (front row of pit!), Beck. and so many more…

Totally not trying to change you Sideways… I respect that even if I don’t understand it.. But not like I run to Merriweather for any show either…

Madien from the pit sounds cool
I agree, the pit is like a show at the anthem (not like the club)

I think the lack of blow was likely the problem

It remains weird to me that Hutch is a cocaine dude. I just can't picture it.

did any Hey, Soul Sistahs here make it to Train last night?  can't find any reviews online... someone uploaded a video which i really wanted to see, to hopefully get a view of the crowd size, but the account was terminated...

The Train instagram tells a different story than I thought was happening....

The Wilco undersell is a mystery to me, they usually fill the place up, or close to it, on their own.

I am hoping for little to no rain/thunder storms tomorrow.

not a mask in sight.  did attendees have to show proof of vax?

No, not Lit; Train. "Meet Virginia" not "You Make Me Completely Miserable".
