What BOTR posted doesn't rule out Nassau Coliseum, to be clear. But it's an extra headache that going to Montreal instead wouldn't present.

    I'm only interested in the music. Sit in chairs and don't talk to us at all, just play great music and play it with passion. Stage design and backdrops aren't part of concert concerns for me, neither is choreography or attire... For a Broadway show, these are all important elements, but at a regular music performance it's all gravy. I don't particularly care for gravy.

    when it's half a video screen compared to the full stage, how do you not care about that? i'm usually close enough where I'm not looking at screens anyways, but still...

    yeah I mean when you see a band so many times theres clearly some things you prefer over others. That backdrop this year was straight up fugly. Same with the one from the 2014 acoustic sets with those stupid jagged rock things standing behind them.

    Everyone goes for the music first, but lights are a MAJOR part of a show for any artist really. When lights are good they add to the music immensely. I dont know how you can see dmb 20x and never once even notice it during big songs like LS, Two Step, Warehouse, Graves etc.

    I'm like 90% sure this years backdrop was once some dubstep producers stage podium.

    People complaining about the backdrop??
    Funny because one of the first things you hear about the gorge is how pretty everything is as you look down at the stage.
    Different, I get that but my point is it doesn't matter if you are looking at some weird ass 3D type stage set up or the gorge natural beauty - it's all about the music in the end so I hardly notice what's happening behind that

    the backdrop behind the stage and the backdrop on the stage are two completely different things.

    Hopefully some of these arena shows have an open back of the stage, and they sell seats behind the stage

    Doubt there is demand to do a setup like that.

    MSG did have it open both shows in 2010 and it was completely sold out. Cville did not have it open.

    I see only MSG having it open for this tour.

    I'm only interested in the music and musicians. I'm intently focusing on the sound and how they're making those sounds. I play guitar and dabble in bass, mess with uke, and sometimes will screw around on a piano. So with my personal take on having been a "would be musician", I care nothing about the aesthetics of a performance. I obsess on the sounds and riffs and licks and all of the musical stuff.

    Sometimes I just want an instrument in my hand to start trying to figure stuff out, but for the most part I'm fully engaged in listening. Eyes closed, "singing" to my wife, staring at the ceiling of the complex, watching the monitors for close ups of soloists or when they're doing their fills. The other shit isn't my bag.

    Daats eet.

    Everybody knows that they’re great musicians, that’s why we’re here, and bad stage setups will never be a dealbreaker honestly but I still think it’s a valid talking point...on a site meant for discussing all things DMB.

    Yeah noone claims its a dealbreaker, but it adds to the show a lot when its good vs when its set up like a concert aimed at 6 year olds like this years.

    People should worry more about the band sucking and playing bad sets before the stage setup.

    Unfortunately it has been stated on these boards endlessly that a lot of people no care about the music, it's more about the hang...so not "everyone". I've been to shows for all sorts of artists where there people around us talking the whole time. SPAC N2 there was this Will Arnett looking twit that in front of us that was all about over-exaggerated gestures and being seen during the songs he liked and then tuning out for other things or going to get a beer every other song. His girlfriend was pretty much buried in her phone for about 80% of the show.

    Anyway, I get that the lights are a big deal for the band and the overall performance and engaging a crowd (possibly rowdy, high, too mellow, drunk, adult ADD/ADHD suffering, etc.) and helping build climaxes and crescendos to the music. For me they are unimportant...that's all I'm saying. Pink Floyd did a great light show and had all the appropriate props when I saw them in 1987, but I was just about listening to Gilmour sing and play, with Rick's boards and Nick's drums...even Pratt nailing those bass parts.

    Dire Straits was just basic lights and the band was awesome...even from an MSG skybox.

    Not anymore really. Champaign 1998 I had seats behind the stage and it was spectacular. Dave used to spend quite a bit of time with his back to the audience, jamming/chatting with Carter and such. Not to mention the band walking right by you on their way onto the stage. A very memorable experience.

    What hotel you got?

    We did a Marriott something or other because my wife has an aversion to mom and pops or the more economy chains.
