NYC 6-14-06 review

Met Luc, Clayton and Sin outside before the show. All very nice and got their autographs. The show was sold-out and completing packed. Before PBDC, Philo’s solo cd was played. They played “Regret” first and then the Snowblack cd.

Pitball were okay. The singer was a little annoying though. The guitarist was good and the last song was the Ace of Spades by Motorhead.

  8. Do U Think I’m Sexy: Josh asks all the ladies to come up on stage. Luc dances around with a penis outfit. Josh sings. Al sings the chorus. Luc ends the song with vocals.

  9. Purple Head / revolting_cock_au_lait: Starts with Luc asking if we want more Cock. Mike comes on stage and guess what it’s his birthday. So Al sang happy birthday Mike… Mikey does a killer solo.

Philo’s newest project…very good I might add…ligher version of the skatenigs

Yeah, that SnowBlack stuff is great. If you liked What A Mangled Web We Weave, you’ll definitely enjoy it.

I paid $30 to see them in Worcester. I dunno if any one band is worth $100.

Ehh most bands aren’t worth $100 live but I would gladly pay that amount to travel back in time to see bands like Throbbing Gristle or Pink Floyd in their prime.

Interesting idea. Saw Floyd in '87, but I’d pay $100 to see them in those underground London clubs in the 60’s.
BTW, if you think we’re getting raped on ticket prices, go find out what that nutty bitch Barbra Streisand is charging for her fifth “farewell” tour. If you’d sit through that dreck, I say you deserve it :slight_smile:

$100 is insane, even for Ministry and RevCo in the same show. Atlatna tickets are a quarter of that.

Chicago is 50. Seems more relative NYC and only half the price. What a rip.

cool man. sounds like you had a good time. congrats.

I think the 100 dollar tickets were the ‘VIP Meet and Greet’ version. But when all was said and done after all of the various fees and the ‘regular’ tickets were still about 60 dollars. I was going to go, but the $60 seemed a bit excessive. I saw Fear Factory a couple of years ago, so this would have been the same thing as that anyway :slight_smile:

i as well think the $100 price is insanity, but out of curiosity what is the most you’ve ever paid for a ticket to see a band. i’m not talking fests with 50 bands, just for a single show. i paid at least $50+fees to see new order last year and i paid $66 to see tool in detroit last month. i think that’s the most i’ve ever paid face value. but i’m sure some of my nin and depeche mode shows came pretty close to that. the most i’ve ever paid for scalper tickets was $125 a ticket to see radiohead in a small theatre a few days ago but they are the girlfriend’s fav band so i had no choice.

$75 for second row center seats to Tori Amos back in '96. It was at The Palace, the most beautifully ornate, comfortable, and acoustically ideal theater I’ve ever been to. Since she ended up acknowledging me during the encore, it was worth it - in between songs, I’d scream “Play Precious Things!”
So, during the encore, going into the intro of it, she said “This one’s for the guy in the second row that won’t shut up.”
Love it.
I’ve payed around the same price for multiple acts, but that’s the most I’ve payed for one performer. I miss my punker days - in the late 80’s/90’s, we had a very active “scene,” and I got used to paying $3-$5 for a show.

Yeah!!! I saw the Circle Jerks in Bakersfield Ca along with samiam curve and two other bands for 12 bucks. Also, I saw the Ramones at the same theatre a couple of years later (or maybe it was a year later) on their Adios Amigos tour, for 15 bucks. The Ramones show sucked, no crowd interaction, no anecdotes. although there were so many people there they couldn’t stop the crowd surfers so I was a surfing MO FO damn that’s fun!!!
Late,

I paid $150 to see Bowie on the Heathen tour in a 450-capacity theater in Staten Island, of all places (it’s Earl Slick’s hometown). Even though we had assigned seats the staff let people fill in the orchestra pit, so we ended up right in front of the stage. It was totally worth it, a hell of a show. And I only paid that much because I had to get them from a scalper – they were $75 face value, but sold out in minutes.

My girlfriend payed some insane amount for NIN tickets on ebay last year when they did that club tour.
She says it was worth it. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t have paid three figures myself.

Here’s the deal:

When I bought the tickets in August, I had no clue what VIP meant. Here’s what it did include:

The promo sampler
Animositisomina CD
Bumper stickers
Able to enter at 6:00pm instead of 7:00pm

Tix’s were priced at 65.00.

Animositisomina CD

Wow…so Al actually acknowledges that this album exists? Impressive. Maybe he should give it a listen before drawing up the next tour’s setlist, eh?

he won’t, not enough high frequencies on that one for al. :slight_smile:

the entire show is on Dime…hear it for yourself! [tongue]

yeah, just finished downloading it. will seed as much as i can.

both bands seem to play same setlist over and over. i don’t quite like how they changed attack ships on fire riff (even if they changed one note), and how they removed steady stompin’ drums from NWO leaving only toms in the verses. al seems to use voice fx on a whole new level - by that i mean there’s not a single clean vox spot! wtf is with that? perhaps he’s imagening he’s a demon from hell or something? lol…
