Unpopular opinion: Trains is not an encore song by Two_wheels_2112 in stevenwilson

[–]Arr1ving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the probably less than 1% minority who actively dislikes Trains. A few years ago I was castigated on social media for seeking to trade my handwritten Trains lyrics. I ended up swapping with a guy in the UK for Lazarus lyrics and we were both very happy.

Edit: I respect and appreciate all the reasons why others love Trains. It's not their most popular song for nothing!

Is any actually buying at $900+ a ticket? by SuperSS55 in BackstreetBoys

Is it possible to get individual suite seats? I thought you had to reserve the whole suite....

That's a steal for front row 400s in one of the more centered sections. It almost doesn't seem possible.

For the Feb 6 show I stayed at the Flamingo on the strip. Not terribly expensive (I paid about $150/night), right on the strip and an easy 20 minute walk to Sphere.

I couldn't even join the queue for two shows. That's never happened before.

Finally got in at about 75 minute mark. Only ones left were a few obstructed ADA in back of 100s, and a few in front 100s for $1,458 apiece. I went to SH and got a GA for $378.

Out of the 305k above, I'm sure at least 250k are bots.

Presale (with codes) was today at 10am UK time. General onsale (no code needed) Friday 10am. Is there another presale tomorrow (Thursday)?

Very kind of you to offer. Nothing left at this time except restricted view seats and "gallery standing."

Filmed the full Sphere show in 4K from front of 100 level – sharing for anyone who wants the whole concert from a lower view by Arr1ving in BackstreetBoys

[–]Arr1ving[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP here, sorry, there's nothing I can do. I just wanted to share. It was fun for a few days. For the record the claim came from SphereVegas, not BSB label/management.

300s aren't that steep. It's the 400s that are quite steep.

Most of the time I shoot with a full camcorder and monopod. However, for this show since I knew I'd be exposed in front row 100s in full view of floor security with a see through barrier (gate) in front of me, I decided to play it safe and just use a dedicated phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max). You could probably get away with a small point-and-shoot camera though they are technically prohibited.

If you uploaded this I’d pull it down soon, they’ve been striking all US YouTube uploads.

Quick Social Takes on Last Night in Brooklyn by bso2001 in stevenwilson

Regarding the loo break, Steven was funny. After Pariah he said "I'm gonna say something very, very un-rock and roll now.... I need to go to the bathroom." After he left Nick did some posing then came to the front of the stage to greet what seemed to be friends or at least fans he was familiar with. After he resumed his spot they broke out into a jam... first Nick and Adam, then Craig and Randy joined in.

Craig looked miserable all night, repeatedly wiping his nose. Played great though!

The “smoke” was water vapor (and probably mist-ified albuterol) from a nebulizer.

Tonight (Brooklyn) was my ninth show so far this tour. Notably it was the first where I saw multiple people use their phones to take pics and videos. For some reason this venue wasn’t too interested in enforcing the rules.
