oh yes. #4

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

Well dredg put on a great show, but there really weren't many people there, which was pretty lame. They definitely get more people in Denver than Colorado Springs.

My fourth show, and I got to meet all of the band minus Gavin. Dino and Drew both seemed really chill, but Mark seemed like he was in a hurry, but he was nice.

definitely a great show either way.

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

This isn't the first report of sparse crowds from this tour. Sad.

Do you remember the setlist?

[lotsofface]

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

actually my brother grabbed one of the setlists from the stage, so if I can find it I'll post it.

it was something like

Another Tribe
Upon Returning
Not That Simple
Bug Eyes
Whoa is Me
Information
Planting Seeds
Pariah
90 Hour Sleep
Lightswitch
Of the Room
Down w/o a Fight
The Thought of Losing You
Canyon
Down to the Cellar

I know the order is wrong on some of that, but I'm pretty sure those are all of the songs. The first 4 are right, and the last 2 are also.

Yeah, I was about to say that. I think I posted it elsewhere already. That is seems they lost lots of fans that did not bother to go to the shows. Which is sad as the current tour is awesome! And they are pretty solid! Hope people will reconsider and give them another chance.

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

I tried to go to the show, but more to see FTM, but it was on a Sunday in Boise, so I couldn't make that, and they didn't stop in Salt Lake (southeast Idaho is where they need to come).
I didn't go to the May show based on the reviews, which is where I was planning on picking up the album cuz I figured then the band would get a bigger cut. I should have gone then, because even though the album was awful (ugh can't beleive I broke down and bought it), with the energy (which is what the album was missing thanks to dan) of a live show i bet it was awesome.

However, last show I went to in SLC (the RX Bandits tour), the band was pissy because the crowd was more amped up for RX Bandits, so that was a reason I didn't go too.

How did FTM do? I love their new album

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

They were pretty good, definitely got a big crowd reaction. It doesn't quite fit my taste, and some dude with a beard was undergoing an exorcism right next to me so it was a bit difficult to pay attention.

dredg did great though. So much energy despite the lack of people. I was happy at the end when the crowd was chanting "dredg dredg dredg dredg dredg", hoping for an encore (even though I know that almost never happens.)

Same at the show I saw. And I kinda feel they should reconsider the encores, especially when fans are so much into them and want to hear more. A song or two won't hurt, but the fans would feel great!

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

The problem is that encores are supposed to be special. But so many bands have watered it down so much that they just leave the stage with 2 songs left on their setlist and take a 2 minute break.

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

I agree. But why never do encores? Even when audience is real good and wait and chant for them for a few minutes? I think it would be extra special if they do it sometimes (when audience deserve it )

Re: Colorado Springs, CO - The Black Sheep

They did in St Louis... because we deserved it
