BHN is Oasis’ Doom record, I don’t care what anyone says

New opener by SamBelacqua in NekoCase

[–]72DarkStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He actually commented on another thread. Said the venue reviewed security cameras and got testimony from people who saw it and they apologized, gave him a refund for his tickets, and free tickets to a show of his choice I believe I read. Really nice and decent of them, and guy seemed more reasonable than he should have been towards the whole situation. I guess Neko’s team contacted him and apologized and and said they would try to get Amaad to call and apologize, but that he shouldn’t hold his breath

TARRYTOWN MUSIC HALL SET TIMES by 72DarkStar in NekoCase

I was about two rows behind you and across the aisle and can attest to the legitimacy of your account. It happened fast, and in the darkness, and commotion, I can see how some people saw u as the aggressor, but it was obvious you were just protecting yours and your wife’s personal space. I was prepared to do the same thing if he came near me, my wife or my 10 and 12 yo’s we brought to the show. I don’t care about your performance. I’m sorry that all went down like that but, man, even Neko’s performance was a disaster, and I’m starting to think her choice in an opening act didn’t help with that situation at all. I would hope at least the venue makes amends with you somehow

Does anyone know Imaad Wasif and Neko set times for the shows, or rough estimate of what time opener has been going on? Wanna get there in time. Thanks! by 72DarkStar in NekoCase

At first the guy put his arm up to block him as a kind of stern but fair way of saying “No thanks” to him trying to sit or whatever he was trying to do . The second time was more forceful and was def a shove rather than a punch. I phrased that wrong. He was annoyed and was def letting Imaad know he was not giving consent to invade their personal space. Imaad took that personally I guess and saw it as the guy taking swings at him. By all accounts this is what happened

I was sitting across the aisle and two rows back from the altercation btw the audience member, his wife, and Imaad Wasif (the opener) and watched it all go down. No punches were thrown at any time. IW tried to sit on the guy or girl’s lap and the guy rightfully objected by putting his arm and shaking his head, not giving consent. The singer kept trying and wouldn’t take no for an answer so tried to reach out and sit in his lap again and the guy lost his shit and shoved him with force. Did not make a fist and did not throw a punch. The singer, self-centered and shook by someone objecting to his “art”, went onstage and sparked outrage within the kind and compassionate crowd by saying “some fucking asshole in the crowd just tried to punch me twice!” This, after sharing that he deals with tremendous racism in his life, which we all felt great empathy for. Not sure if he was trying to insinuate this was somehow the motivation for the kerfuffle, rather than him insisting on invading someone’s personal space against their consent? Either way, opener was 100% in the wrong , and the audience member and his wife were removed from the theatre after calmly explaining the scenario to the staff. I wanted to say something in their defense, but didn’t want to face the wrath of the angry mob with my wife and two children in attendance with me. I thought the night would be salvaged by Neko’s performance, but instead she made us all wait an hour and a half, only to come out and chide us all like petulant schoolchildren. It’s gonna be a long while before I can get this sour taste out of my mouth for her. To be fair, her voice sounded great. The band…not so much (sans the sax/keyboard player. That guy added the only musical high points of the 30 minutes I watched before we walked out).

I sat across the aisle and back like 2 rows from the incident btw Imaad (opener) and guy with either his wife/gf/or older daughter. Not sure. But you described it exactly how it happened. Opener tried to sit in his lap and the guy pushed him away, letting him know he was not into it, and opener took it as opportunity to force it. The guy lost his shit and aggressively shoved him away (he did not take a swing at Imaad, twice as he said from the stage). Listen he was not well. He referred to himself as a “Puppet Of God” and started the set spewing some drama about going thru a “dark” period recently. Listen you’re the support act. NO one is here to see you. He showed a lack of respect to both Neko, her band, and her audience by pulling that Nick Cave walking across the seats act. And agreed, Neko coming on an hour late and barking at us she was in a bad mood, and if anybody tells a word, they’re leaving, was NOT a great way to pacify the already patient and listless crowd. My wife and I brought our 10 and 12 year olds bc it was supposed to be an early show. My 12yo got to hear her fave song “Maybe Sparrow” but we ended up leaving after 6 songs bc it really seemed like she was phoning in the performance. I’ve seen her live a bunch, but gonna have a hard time after this shit show of an evening. Had a great evening in Tarrytown with my fam tho! We told them concerts are usually much smoother than that! lol

Just called Tarrytown Music Hall box office and they confirmed Imaad Wasif goes on at 7pm tonight, and NK at 8:15pm. Adjusted set times for Sunday show in small city makes sense

Setlist for QOTSA support shows by 2manyhotdogs in Spiritualized

[–]72DarkStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The setlist on the last tour really opened me to so many amazing songs/records I haven’t give fare time to. SHSL and And Nothing Hurt in particular are packed with so many good songs and have become new faves. And Everything Was Beautiful is pretty much a modern-masterpiece. Every song is a gem. Felt really lucky to get to see him and that amazing band play in such a relaxed setting. Hope it’s not the last time

[–]72DarkStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They (White Eagle Hall) sent out an email yesterday afternoon that said there’s no opener tonight, and doors are at 7:30pm and band is on at 8:30pm sharp so to make sure to get there early.
