belle and sebastian 2nd show?

[kosmo vinyl]

fyi  when there were two mighty wind shows on one night... the first one didn't end until the doors where scheduled to open for the second...

it seems like they get you to go to all the trouble of buying one $30 ticket, then give you a teaser performance and THEN get you to dole out another $30 to stay for the good stuff.  bad move, b&s.  i was debating going to this show when it was first announced, and now i am glad i decided that $30 was too much.  i mean, if they didn't play dylan in the movies or something in the first one, wouldn't a hardcore fan stay for the second to see whatever didn't get played during the first set?

.....or maybe the first show sold out really fast and they decided it would be nice to add a second show for those people who weren't able to get tickets to the first show?
 
 Or perhaps I'm just not cynical enough?

It didn't sell out really fast at all, and I remember some comments on this board about how surprised they were that B&S hadn't sold out yet.

Well, that would seem to indicate that the second show was planned all along, in which case, I can't imagine they would be cutting the first show short at all (at least not any shorter than they were already planning to play)>

If that's how the club thinks then JT should just be starting his 187th show in a row in a few minutes.

i think we need to mark this date on the calendar... the first time both ggw and kosmo didn't feel cynical about something

I'm with you guys on this one.  If Markie's on board then the apocalypse is at hand....

[kosmo vinyl]

is b&s bring over the same extended group as last time?  the extra horns and strings.  if thats the case there will probably be little variation in shows...

It looks like it sold out in 2-3 weeks.
 
 Looking at their tour dates, they are playing much larger venues in most other cities, so perhaps they announced the first show and when they saw it sold out pretty fast (by DC standards), announced the second show - having planned to do two shows all along.
 
 Either way, I don't think they are going to "tease" people at the first show as a way of conning them into buying another ticket.

[markie]

I am not cynical..... If a sell shows out a month beforehand then there is obviously good demand.
 
 They played a much larger venue before and on other dates on this tour.
 
 
 just to add some cynicism......
 
 What time does it say doors open on your ticket, Mankie?

i can't think of a single instance where the second show had a setlist any different from the first.  
 
 if you wanna see a different set, try he durham, nc show before they get to us, or maybe the nyc dates in november.

I'll check when I get home, and if it changes from the ticket.....I'll sue the bastards and get rich from it.

I can't believe you people.
 Elsewhere on the Forum, sueandnotu is attempting to trade her liver for Belle & Sebastian tix. Now that there's a second show, she'll be able to see them without losing a vital body part. Can't you all just be happy for her?
