Super25Smasher Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Bought tickets to see Baroness in Buffalo on December 5 If the weather is good, I'll catch them the night before in Cleveland too! Mohawk Place is small. It only fits around 200 people.Do you know anything about Town Ballroom? I'll be going there for the first time in January.

Mohawk Place is small. It only fits around 200 people.Do you know anything about Town Ballroom? I'll be going there for the first time in January.Town Ballroom is quite an intimate place too. But definitely bigger than Mohawk. There's a decent sized pit in front of the stage. If it's a heavy show and you want to avoid the pit, there's an elevated standing section in the back so you can see above the GA floor. This is a pretty good layout of the place I haven't been there since COVID but it looks like they have strict COVID testing/vaccine status rules in place so make sure you're prepared before you go.

Mohawk Place is small. It only fits around 200 people.Do you know anything about Town Ballroom? I'll be going there for the first time in January. I love the ballroom. I have seen plenty of shows there. I think it can fit something like 1200 people. Great setup, all general admission. There's the main floor level which is the biggest section. Then there are two elevated levels behind it. I think I have seen shows from every vantage point at that venue and there's really no bad spot. As Union said, if you are going to a show where there will be moshing, you probably want to avoid the floor level or at the very least stay at the very back of the floor. I haven't been there since before covid so I don't know how strict they're being with masks but I do know that they do require proof of vaccination. I'm not sure about testing. I know most venues here in New York state are requiring proof of vaccination for concerts and sporting events. I can't say enough good things about the venue though. I truly love that place and it's my favorite concert venue in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2000s pop punk/alt rock band (Motion City Soundtrack), so I don't think there will be too much moshing, but maybe some circle pits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Sort of more an "event" than concert, but scored tix to EStreet Radio (Sirius XM Springsteen) radio broadcast from Danny Clinch's gallery next week in Asbury Park. Been wanting to go to his gallery and I love AP, so kind of a no-brainer. They say "special appearances and surprises" which means PERHAPS Bruce could show up, since it is down that way, but it might just mean Santa Claus, lol. At any rate, should be fun, as we all know, it's always fun to be somewhere with a bunch of like-minded fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I ended up seeing Grayscale, The WLDLFE, Cemetery Sun, and Young Culture in Rochester on December 3rd. So now, I've seen Young Culture 5 times.5ever had to drop had to drop off Frozen Fest a few days before after a member tested positive for covid. They were replaced by a female-fronted band from New Jersey called Pollyanna. They were really good, and I got to meet them after the show! Nonpoint also announced the new opening acts for my date, which was postponed due to a trailer accident resulting in damaged instruments a few days before the original date in September.So here's my current list:Motion City Soundtrack, All Get Out - 1/8, Town Ballroom, Buffalo, NYNonpoint, Discrepancies, Artifas, One Step From Falling - 1/12, Lost Horizon, Syracuse, NYDropkick Murphys, The Bombpops, The Rumjacks - 3/14, Capital Center, Albany, NYMayday Parade, Real Friends, Magnolia Park - 3/25, Starland Ballroom, Sayreville, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnify Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 My wife surprised me for Christmas with tickets to see Roger Waters! So far, my tickets in-hand for 2022 (all Orlando, FL shows); 1.) Tool (they were the last band I saw pre-covid in Feb 2020; up until I saw King Crimson 3 times, Primus and Jason Bonham in 2021.)2.) Steve Hackett - I bought tickets for this in November 2019! Postponed twice and, ironically, I ended up taking lessons with his drummer (Craig Blundell) throughout the pandemic. Looking forward to seeing him in person!3.) The Pineapple Thief - one week after Craig, I get Gavin Harrison! 4.) Roger Waters - my surprise Xmas gift5.) Red Hot Chili Peppers - this is probably the one band that my whole family can agree on - and so, we all go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you feel about the way venues are handling things because of covid? Have you gotten it or had any close calls?I had it back in December 2020. I haven't gotten it again since, nor I have been exposed at a concert to my knowledge. Some venues (and some artists) have pretty strict guidelines, others have less, and some have none. The show I went to with the strictest measures required vaccine proof and masks for all attendees. Another just required proof of vaccination, and a few just required masks. Overall, I haven't had any problems yet. I have had a couple shows which featured lineup changes, and two were rescheduled.
