Blue Oyster Cult

Post by strangeways »

I'm a big fan of these guys and have seen them a ton of times!

I just saw this past Saturday (07.16.2011) for the umpteenth time.

They were great as always.

It was a free fest thing so the set list was a bit short, but a good time was had by all...

I only know of them through their shows with Kiss in the early years.

Is Rudy plaing bass for them now?

It is Rudy.

He joined the 2OC a few years back.

I would like this line up to record a new album.

Will be seeing them again in May.

Just purchased two front row tickets for the show.

I saw SAXON there last year and it was great.

It's a nice theater.

http://forums.eddietrunk.com/viewtopic. ... 81e2f45c65

The only odd thing about it when we saw Saxon was that between what was the front row of seats and the stage there is a space of about six feet or so.

People just started walking up to that spot like it was some sort of general admission show or something.

The small amount of security they had was not enough to keep people in their seats, so every time they had people go back to their seats more people would just walk up there until it was too much for their security to handle and they just let whoever wanted to be up there go there.

I had second row center for that show and it got to the point where I too went up there. I wasn't going to get screwed just because the venue's security couldn't do their jobs.

It seems that looking and the seating chart for the venue now they might have rectified that problem by filling that are with seats.

Ooh, better check that out! I got screwed by a theatre venue when I got what I thought were front row seats as I was first in line but there were some "other" seats in front the stupid ticket lady didn't know about.

Don't worry I will check it out.

I have no intention of getting screwed.
I will make their lives Hell if they attempt to do so.

I've done it before with venues.
I've gone before village boards as well as gone to Chamber of Commerce boards / villages where bars / venues have screwed fans over. Don't get mad - get even.

It turned out the seats were indeed in the front row. Right in front of the stage.

Then they should be able to shake up the set list a bit more hopefully.
