Would this bother anyone?

The way Ive always looked at Vegas residencies (in general) is that they are shows, not concerts. Would you stand and sing and dance during the music numbers at Cirque Love? I understand his frustration and for a show like this it should be communicated when you buy tickets, but this seems more a vegas show newb than anything else.
People were discouraged from standing at Van Halen in St Paul in 2012. Def a concert.
In other news, my Nov 13 tix to see Aerosmith are in limbo with Tyler’s broken voice box.
I attended Reggae Rise up last weekend. It was super chill. I had space to sit down as needed as I still recover from Cellulitis. Next weekend I have Wu Tang. Then nothing but I will snag Tool tickets for T Mobile in Feb, when they go on sale Friday.

Went to Tool last night. Absolutely incredible live. Danny Carey (drummer) really carries the show imo. The strict no cell phones rule is awesome. More artists should demand that.

I am excited to see them on 2/18 here at T-mobile.

Question for anyone who haa been to this type of show lately, Im thinking about going to a double/triple headliner show (STP, Live, Our Lady Peace) and Im most interested in seeing OLP again, but they will likely be third billed. How long of a set would you expect the third act in a lineup like this to get? The start time is the same as any other show set there (7p, local ordinances demand a completion by 11p.) 30 min? Maybe 45?
In a double headline with an opener I’m guessing 30/75/75 breakdown
Go see all the bands they are still solid.

Last week I went to my first concent in a while and saw Jon Batiste live. The guy puts on a good show.
Working at a concert venue now, something interesting Im learning.
The encore is seemingly dead amongst newer artists. They play their set, leave after the last song and the house lights immediately come up. Amongst older bands, the encore is still standard, though Ive noticed the timeframe between leaving the stage and coming back is about 1/4 as long as it used to be in the 90s

People my age riot if there is no encore.

I fucking hate the fake drama of the encore, just finish your set and move on.
It’s definitely not dead though, I’ve seen it from artists new and old recently.

reminds me of the best encore I ever saw. chit it might be the only encore I remember, now that I think about it. that’s how different and engaging it was.
Tool was doing arena shows and after the main part of the set, the 4 of them stopped playing and simply sat on the stage in full view of the audience. the crowd went insane at the site of them just sitting there drinking water during the intermission. the energy just kept building until they finally stood up, at which the place practically exploded. it was great.
When Prince was doing his run at The Forum he would do like 10 encores. And then he’d often head to the Troubadour and play for hours on top of that.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Went with my wife, son, and a couple friends to Green Day a few weeks ago and it was awesome. Smashing Pumpkins opened (which feels crazy). I also realized I haven’t been to many concerts in my life.
My wife is taking our boy, along with a friend and his mom, to Korn tonight. My daughter just saw Mt. Joy last night at the same venue (outdoor amphitheater) and said it was amazing. She hadn’t been to a concert until last week when a friend had an extra ticket to 21 Pilots. Now I think she’s hooked.

I just saw today that Green Day is playing in Bangkok and thought that was random as fuck.
Didn’t realise green day with smashing pumpkins as opener was playing a few days ago. Would have loved to go to that concert. Thats like perfect nostalgia concert.
Green Day is very good live
Pumpkins are ok. The material from the last 15 years kinda sucks compared to first 4-5 albums.
