Secret Show on Wednesday in LA

[BurtSampson]

That yondr pouch is some dystopian bullshit.

[Ram27]

yeah that's lame

just let people record the set. it's not like it's their big arena stage setup + special effects (even though that shit is dumb)

_______________

So tickets are $19.79 and are cash only? I get the joke but don't make the cashiers hand out 21 cents 300 times

Because even the fun stuff like secret shows has to be lamed up somehow.

[artvase]

I thought people who recorded shows on their phones were the lame ones? Honestly, who cares if you can't take the phone out

Prohibited items:
* No cellphones, cameras or recording devices will be allowed at the event*
Upon arrival, all phones and smart watches will be secured in Yondr pouches that will be unlocked at the end of the show. Guests maintain possession of their phones throughout the night, and if needed, may access their phones at designated Yondr unlocking stations in the lobby. Anyone caught with a cellphone in the venue will be immediately ejected. We appreciate your cooperation.

Flashback (2007):

The Live Music Archive also provides a statement why it is allowed to record and trade Smashing Pumpkins live music: “Smashing Pumpkins Taping Policy June 2007: “a clear declaration of our new open-source taping policy…everyone is welcome to tape at our shows in whatever capacity they see fit…anyone is welcome and invited to document using audio, video, or picture cameras (cell phones are welcome)…although we do reserve the right to refuse anyone at anytime (especially if we feel the reason for recording is not for entirely altruistic)”.”

Sounds like someone's going to have to with the old taper trick of swallowing your recording equipment and shitting it out on the concert floor

[Ram27]

I wonder how thorough the security checks are gonna be. Certainly places you could hide a mic on your body

[Ram27]

That Yondr shit is actually even dumber because now people have to wait in lines to get them opened and return them before leaving

“Sorry babysitter, I know you called with an urgent emergency about my child choking but my favorite 90s band stipulated that I had to wait to unlock my phone before I could talk to you”

[MplsTaper]

With Live Nation involved I highly doubt any taping policy from 2007 still stands.

[New Art Rioter]

From the sound of it, hearing the hits performed verbatim to the album renditions isn't the most exciting show in the world to record anyway

[Ram27]

This might be the most interesting show of the tour though, if it's a small show and may allow for some variation

[Kumar Littlejeans]

Pretty lame how this offer is impossible for me, a Portuguese citizen with three kids who needs photographic evidence I was at a gathering in order to feel something about it later, to participate in.

[enthusaroo]

Some people definitely should secretly record this show

so we can all hear how bad it sounds

thanks

i agree. my wife is going to stand in line for me, if she is able to get a wristband i'll be pretty excited to see how the show turns out having seem them last in the orange peel but this time Iha will be there. Oddly enough a couple weeks ago i took my wife to a restaurant and on the way in, James Iha was coming out with his wife

Being this will be the first show, maybe they will put some spirit into it

[fluxequalsrad]

I am pretty interested to see what the setlist is going to look like, as it will probably be most of what we're going to see all summer. The first few songs are going to be pretty fun, but there is a pretty good chance they open up with Solara and ruin it though. Or some other facepalm Heavy Metal Machine opener..

[Oklahoma Sexual]

there's also a really big chance this show will be cool af, and the band will play really good songs, deep cuts, etc. there's a few problems though:

1) billed as reunion with no d'arcy (no integrity)
2) BC's personality (zero integrity)
3) it's roughly 10 years too late
4) it's only about the money (no integrity)
5) i have different priorities (i'm old)

seriously, this isn't why i fell in love with the band in the 90s. stating the obvious, but i'm so over this band, and i was a diehard fan until about january of this year. for those who do go, i hope they enjoy the show and have a great time. for those onstage, i hope they get a nice feeling of camaraderie again. i hope everyone is transported to 199X again and can tap into some emotional connection of their youth. i hope they rock hard, everyone has fun, and the music is "cool". more power to 'em

[inkless]

please take show in 4k 16/9

Update: KROQ only had 60 tickets to give out, which were all claimed by people who were given early bird stickers before 11am. Despite the no line ups before 1 thing. So the roughly 400 people in line are now either entering a raffle or dispersing. Nobody has made any sort of announcement nor was anyone advised not to keep lining up.

[Ram27]

lol of course

[amoergosum]

Very disappointed @kevinandbean @kroq @LiveNation_LA @SmashingPumpkin You have out 60 wristbands and what I heard from people in front of me you didn't even SELL any tickets! Thanks for the sunburn as*holes! https://t.co/YsUuObKZJO

Yep. I can't believe this bullshit. I feel like an ass for asking my wife to stand in line for an hour and it's hot as shit out and they had 60 tickets. The troub fits like 500 people, who the fuck has the rest of the tickets? Fuckin A man

[SlingeroGuitaro]

im curious. what does 'hot as shit out' mean in LA?

[Kumar Littlejeans]

It’s 80 degrees. Not terrible. But I think the point the person was making is that the lines were pointless and only for show, so there was no reason for anyone to be outside in the first place.

[slunken]
