Tammeh Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I am going to see Queensryche on Sept 13 at the Royal Theatre in Victoria. It is a beautifully restored heritage building theater with 1400 seats. I love those "intimate" venues. I'm taking the taping gear too I've seen QR only once - in 2003 in Seattle with Dream Theater and they were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazzman Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Kamelot's playing a gig in Florida sometime later this year. The date is yet to be announced (as well as the venue), but the band's managment has confirmed they'll be playing a show in Florida. As soon as the date and venue are announced, I'm buying tickets.

Maybe I will write a review for it. FREE????? You lucky duck. How were they live? Yeah it was a free show. The local alternative radio station (live105) was holding a contest in which the first 350 people to show up at the club last night would get into the place for free. And thats all the club holds, so everyone who showed up early enough got to see them for free. They were in town last night because tonight (friday night), they were on the headlining stage of BFD in Mountain View, so they showed up a day early I guess. The radio station here has been really generous in playing the band and helping them grow, so it was really cool to see them do a thank-you to our city. BTW, I just got back from BFD and will DEFINATLY have to start a new thread to review that one. Anyway, the vouchers to get in the club were supposed to be given out at 8pm, and the show to start at 9pm. So I showed up about 3 hours before they were handing out the vouchers and there were about 60 people ahead of me already by them. There were a few nutjobs that showed up as early as 7:00am and even 10:00pm the night before. The radio station was also giving away 6th row tickets to BFD to the first 15 people, so its not as totally wacko as it sounds, but still I wanted to do stuff that day. While I'm waiting in line, I meet some cool people who have coincidentally been to a lot of the same shows I have been to in the last few months, including the Mars Volta one last week and the Porcupine Tree/Robert Fripp one 2 days ago. We talk for a while, and one of thier hot female friends comes by, who apparently just got off a plane and got to the venue as quickly as she could. She cut her vacation short when she heard that there was a free show here. By the time the vouchers start getting handed out, the line is wrapped way past the block. After getting the voucher, you are free to leave as you are already guaranteed to be let in the club, so I take a walk around to see how far back the line is, and it is 3 blocks long. I am guessing that around 2000 people showed up to try to get into the show, they shoulda got their earlier I guess. So I head back and talk with a few more people, then find the group I was waiting in line with close to the front of the line to getting in the club, so I get back with them to talk. So they let people into the club, I was pretty close to the first people to get in. We walked around a bit to check the club out, and then decide to camp ourselves at the stage. Let me tell you, this place is tiny. They were giving out 350 tickets, but it almost didnt seem like that many would even fit. At 9pm, the opening act Mad Action comes on to play. I'm standing right behind some tall dude, so even though Im only 2 feet away from the stage, which is only raised up by about a foot, I still have half the stage blocked off from me. Thats fine, they werent my taste anyway so it wasnt that important. So the set ended and a few more people started to gather. Now it was really starting to get cramped, as few people as there were, they were shoving to get closer up to the point that a couple people fall over on the stage onto the guitar pedals, and im shoved to front row. Hey, thats suits me just fine So then Kasabian comes out on stage from the side, which looked sorta like they just got out of the bathroom to get onstage. They opened up with some cool intro thing and played around a bit on thier instruments, and then went into ID, which made for a pretty cool atmospheric opening. The setlist continued through 12 songs, all of which had everyone dancing and singing to. The amount of noise the crowds were making, you never would have been able to guess that only 350 people were there. I have to admit, I dont know the names of all thier songs, and dont have thier cd, but there were some songs they were doing that I hadnt heard before that were really blowing me off my feet. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. I must say I was also impressed with the drummer at points in the show, he was pulling off some pretty tricky drum fills and doing some really cool drum beats that sounded almost like a drum machine was behind the wheel. No, hes not Neil Peart, but I was impressed none-the-less. The highlight of the evening though was the closer of Club Foot. The backup guitarist that was hiding behind a few keyboards came out and traded places with the bass player, and went into the opening riffs of the song. That is one of the coolest sounds I have heard come out of a bass guitar in a while, was very good live. All in all, it was definatly a concert to remember. I dont think I will ever again be able to see that band that close, as they seem to be on the upswing right now. I wouldnt give it more then half a year before they become like huge and you see spotlights of them on MTV or something, so I am glad I was able to catch in on them before all the teeny-boppers catch on and fill the shows. Well, it might already be too late for that, they are opening up for Oasis at the Shoreline, which holds about 20,000 people (not that that many people are going, but it could hold that much). Lucky for me though, I already have 4 4th row tickets to that show as well --- And like I said, I will have to write a new topic for the BFD show. It was absolutely AMAZING. I knew I posted this somewhere on this board... ANYWAY, I stumbled onto the popscene website and found a few pictures from the Kasabian show. You can find the pictures of the show by going to http://www.popscene-sf.com/rev3_photos.html/, and clicking on the third picture from the top, the one that says the Kasabian 6/9 show. Just fyi on how small this club was, I was closer to the band then the person taking these pictures. She was standing to feet to the left of me, where as I was a half an arms reach from the microphone stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 YES! Just scored 8th row, center section tickets to the Download Music Festival. There will be a number of bands there I have missed out on seeing this year including The Killers, Modest Mouse, and The Arcade Fire. All 3 of these bands I have really been wanting to see live for a while. The only problem is.... ITS THE EXACT SAME DAY AS THE SYSTEM OF A DOWN/MARS VOLTA SHOW!?! What am I to do, go to the floor of the SOAD/MV show where I can bounce around and get thrashed (plus in my books), or see a lot of bands probably just as close that I missed..... ohhhh... To help me decide, I'm gonna go see Nine Black Alps tonight at popscene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
