The 930 shows from 2006 was my first time at the 930!  (flew from California)


In the meantime, I'll get myself fired up for the show by listening to this epic performance of theirs from 9:30 in 2006. The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner is such an amazing song. Still gives me goosebumps to hear it live.

Was this the HoF kerfuffle where they announced a late show AFTER the first show sold out and people lost their minds because they were sure the (now) early show they had tickets to would have a shorter encore because of the time constraints?

Or was that before 2006?

The 2006 shows were 2 nights in a row.

Not the same. I felt it was closer to 2002-2003. People straight up lost it on here.

What time does everyone think each band will start tomorrow? I have a friend who doesn't normally attend rock shows and she's all worked up that I suggested that getting there by 8 would be enough time to see the second two bands.

Doors at 5:30 and looks like opener at 7 PM and probably only a 30 min set. Japanese B at 8 then?

jealous of NC last night......they played at a 1400 capacity club (moved from a much larger venue, prob due to ticket sales).

only gotcha would be can take a while to get into the parking lot and walk to the venue...like budget 30 mins, so arriving at 7:30 if you want to be at your seat/lawn by 8
