I get free tickets to some shows, and I had the same reaction with them that I had after I saw Springsteen...I don't own any of their stuff, but was surprised that I actually enjoyed the performance. You may not be a fan initially, but it's hard to deny that some bands are solid and they give it their best. What I enjoyed about the No Doubt show was that it was a bunch of different ages and races, everyone was there to have fun, and the band made it an enjoyable experience. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I absolutely loved No Doubt at the Orena and I bragged about the show on this board. They put on a hell of a show, give a quality effort and connect with the fans and the rest of you can fuck off if you haven't seen them 'cause I ain't listening to your bitching with your closed minds.

From clips I've seen on tv, I'd say recently they're more hit or miss.If 10 out of every 12 songs you write suck, I don't care how well you play them, and how hard you shake your butt on stage, I'm still going to say you suck.

The flipside of course are the bands where I love their music and thought their live performance sucked rhino. The Cocteau Twins were great one time, and the next time they were abysmal. The Psychedelic Furs were just god awful, too. 808 State, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Pere Ubu, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth...I've seen them all on good nights and then on other nights maybe they did bad acid or something. Sometimes a bad band can have a good night, too. When I worked at the 9:30, I saw it happen on occasion.

Nope, Lark Jr. I only had to pay the obscene $25 for parking, but I got 2 of the $110 seats for free. All it takes is to know the right folks, that's all.

Don't know Daniel Snyder...there are many ways to get tickets to things in DC. I'm from Chicago and used to be a Bears fan back when they were good :-)

i can't think of 10 right now. but i will agree that the no doubt/faint show was really fun. dancing around new wave with the most random people was great. that was the 2nd time ive seen ND and i think that both times they delivered a great performance - i guess it just depends on who you talk to.a few favorites though - QOTSA at 930 Rufus wainwright at 930 Pretty Girls Make Graves at black cat Ryan Adams at Electric Factory in philly yeah i can't remember any more..

Have to admit it, they put on a great show which somewhat surprised and very much impressed me.
