GA floor info

[So Long]

Hey guys,

 

So I'm attending Saturday's show in Worcester. I've got GA tickets, and I'm wondering how other venues have been handling them. Are there bracelets? Do I have to wait for hours in the freezing cold? Thanks.

Review:

Well to start: Parking was $15, and that sucked, the weather at show time was a balmy 13 degrees according to the thermometer on my car, and it was freaky cold with no one there!! I couldn't even give my expenisve extra away last night. No one wanted to go, and when I got there, no one was there!!! So no one to miracle it to either. Cold will do that!

No drinks allowed on the floor. I was allowed water with my diabetic braclet. It was a Filmore style concert and you had to sign a release waiver before they'd give you a braclet, name, rank, serial number, two sets of phone numbers, ID, etc. Stating if something happened down there the Palace was not liable. No bracelet no floor access. Good Lord Bill Davison, strap on a set, and let your city rock!

First off there were 2 opening bands Wilco/Everest

I walked in as Everst was playing, they just stated and I realized that without effort I was 4 rows of people back from the stage. No one at home. But by the time Wilco came on the place was a little more filled, but still so many empty seats and the floor was maybe 1/3 filled up.

No security but no one smoked, you'd get the occaisional wiff of something skunky but by in large it was a sober show for all.

The first band Everest was acceptable but nothing to write home about.

Wilco was a hoot, I remember now why they frustrate the hell out of me.

They are so tight, turn on a dime, get you in the groove, get your mojo working and boom, right turn Clyde! Still tight, tight, tight, and the guitarist Nels Cline is something else, not certain what, but his style speed and maiacal approach to the instrument, is something else. A not to be missed player for sure. Lacks some tonal body to his playing but technically he's at the top of the pack of the best there are. Nice!!!
