What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Weird fucking update.

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

If this means a screen only…mark my words, I will write this band off for good

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Least informative update ever?

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

I’ll go with “infected band member performs in a room backstage and is added to the mix and brought in via camera while the rest of the band plays on stage”.

And then I will hope that I am wrong because it’s a really messed up idea.

weird update

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Being at the Gorge last week for Phish and seeing this now from home, wow, I think I chose the right weekend. But truly hope this doesn't affect much for our friends out in Washington.

Time to find out which band members aren't vaccinated :rolleyes

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Weird 2nd post ever. Thanks for the update

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

I will be pretty peeved if it is a "live stream" with the band performing backstage with it streamed to the screens.

#FullyVaccinated

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Yeah this is why I logged onto ants... glad to see no one else knows anything more

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

If this is the case, maybe the silver lining is they realize they could start doing couch tours for future tours?

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Maybe "alternate format" is the name of their latest song?

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Individuals who are fully vaccinated are still getting the virus so this doesn't really make sense. Unless you are just trying to find a reason to hate the band, then carry on...

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

The emoji they used is the sarcastic emoji, so yeah, I think they were just satirizing the folks that would use this as a litmus test.

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Oh please tell me that the number of posts I have made makes me more or less qualified to have this opinion. Not the 107 shows I’ve been to or the thousands of dollars I have spent. Please please please tell me.

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Holograms for sure. If they're on stage I bet it's just going to be further distanced than usual, possible barriers between, gloves for those who can wear them and possibly masks. Or if it's a bandmember in particular maybe it'll be minus that instrument which could be interesting

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Definitely weird third post.

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Ah you're right. Thank you. Sorry for jumping

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

:lol I think it's more of the fact that you, a person who has posted on this website 1 time before today 3 years ago asking if uppers were still available, is telling us to mark your words and that you are done with the band. No one knows who the fuck you are :lol

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Thank you for getting the joke.

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

oh wow......

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Is Angela going to stream the stream??

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

calm down :lol

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

All good friend. It isn't always easy to pick up on it via text. :thumbsup

With satire, it's like you're speaking my language. :lol

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Wnderwoman?!

Does she still pop around here? Last time I saw her was about two years ago in the Prudential Mall in Boston, MA. The most random run-in I've had.

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

This is such a bummer for all involved!

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

I still love you.

Re: What the hell is an "Alternate Format?"
 

Where did I say you couldn't have an opinion? I just find it odd that a random user would pop in after this news to announce the pending to his fandom on a site he doesn't actively participate on.

Damn the prompter/ndmbc showed up in this thread.
