Do artists have an obligation to not fuck about after lockdown?

Thinking of bands who don’t play their biggest singles live or twat about making noise instead of playing songs. Can’t be arsed with that after lockdown. Knock it on the head.

Can’t wait for My Bloody Valentine to get on Patreon, offering two new albums a month for the $1 or more subscribers

Let them play whatever they want. We’re all so starved of live music that we’d take my vitriol at this point, and they’ve been hit hard by all this.

Broadly agree. Got to make some allowances for bands like The Cure

All bands should play a greatest hits set at all times they play live TBH.

“And here’s one from our upcoming album…” are words that strike fear into my heart.

Yeah he was gonna be the example I gave but I felt mean. Mess about with a pan or summat if you want but play Ever Rotating Sky at the end champ.

Someone once told me a story about Don McLean being bullied by the crowd into playing American Pie several times in a row at one of his gigs. It’s a good tale but probably not true as I’ve never been able to find any online evidence.

Saw suede and they did that on the night thoughts tour. The night thoughts set was better tbh.

Curfew at 11 when most of the last busses/trains/trams being before half past a decent walk away is just trolling people who don’t want to live in city centres (if I did live in the city centre I probably couldn’t afford gigs). A 10pm curfew is extremely civilised.

Had to tell someone to shut up at a DTB gig once thinking about it. He was just being loud though.

Multiple encores (not multiple songs in an encore, although don’t overdo it eh?) on the other hand :-1:

Not sure if I’ve told this story in here before, but went to see echo and the bunnymen at the sage in gateshead a few years back, I dont know why but in that venue people seem to behave, the crowd is always very quiet and polite applause after every song, like being at the opera basically.

Anyway a few songs in Ian McCulloch says this is a new song, and there was a real audible sigh went round the whole venue it was hilarious, he had to follow up with ‘you never know it might be good’, it wasn’t
