Re: ***Un-Official Jacksonville, FLor-I-DA Thread***

So the crowd not on the floor was one of the least energetic crowds I have ever seen at a DMB show - yet according to the website, the show was a sellout or near sellout. Wondering if the $$ is worth playing for a less than ideal crowd. Maybe they will play Orlando next year?

    The show was first to sell out on tour according to LN. I watched webcast. Crowd really sucked. But it sold out. Tough pill off management. Do we go back to make money or do we find fun fans and not sell out? Plus it starts a run of 3 very hot, humid shows and it's indoors.

    That side shot during the webcast was absolutely pathetic. People lounging like it was the set break, plus a bunch of empty seats. What director decided to scan that area? If Yahoo! wanted to kick off this thing with high-energy, they shouldn't have scanned that section.

    Crowd was terrible. Most of our section sat the whole show. During Two Step I was told to sit down. People behind us just looked at our asses the whole night. Only stood during Sledgehammer

    Tulsa is still the worst crowd I've ever been a part of though

    Jake and I were on the floor, marveling at the large groups of people sitting on their asses all night. Especially those on the left side of the stage. Stay home and watch on the interwebs, jagoffs.

    Was amazed at the amount of boners sitting down during a rock concert. I swear, me and about 5 other people in my section on the lower level right in front of one the openings were the ONLY people I saw dancing. Got asked to sit down during the first set during Two Step. Fucking Two Step. I think I just laughed and kept on dancing.

    I had a blast at the show and it was pretty good set list sans some songs imo. But my god what a terrible crowd. People need to do more drugs at DMB.

    I mean I get it if the band is putting off any energy or the set list sucked I could see why people would sit down but the energy inside that building was off the charts.

    Also, Jacksonville, got a few questions / thoughts for you:

    • Such an odd downtown as I am used to downtowns having one way streets.
    • The freeways had the worse lane dividers I’ve ever seen. It looks like they are redoing them every weeks, so you really have no idea where the lane divider is outside of what the guy in front of you is doing. This was especially fun when driving in the rain.
    • Jacksonville, major cities have highways that are at least 3, and usually 4 or 5 lanes each way, not 2.
    • Why is the airport on Yankee Clipper drive? Had Joe DiMaggio ever even been to Jacksonville?
    • Ate at a place I found from the food network channel, 13 Gypsies. Fantastic restaurant. What a gem.

    Gotcha, was on the same side but near the rail. Somehow the people I was with convinced me to get that close.

    -- There are one-way streets. They run east-west.
    -- They probably are redoing them every two weeks.
    -- I think 95 is 3 lanes in most places.
    -- My guess is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_314
    -- Haven't been there, but I've heard it's very good.

    I was lucky to join on the floor with these two nice guys... I think I could have provided some insight as a TD for a horseracing network, NFL Network, and major sports network. Sorry I missed meeting you.
