Re: ***Official Bend, OR August 26th, 2014 Thread***

hope that didn't sound too dick-ish but it seems pretty obvious that the pit in a general admission show is going to be very packed and problems like that are going to pop up. You could blame the venue or next time just don't try and go all of the way to the front. The sound, view, everything was fine from almost every angle no matter how far back you went (as long as you weren't by the venders). IMO you only have yourself to blame for your bad experience. Again, sorry about the harshness but everyone wants to be in the front but people realize that you will need to pay a price for being there and that price is often your comfort. You basically took the spot of someone that would've been happy being there and then had the nerve to complain about it. So, I dunno. End rant.

    I guess i shouldn't of said you only have yourself to blame because there are obviously other people there causing problems.... but I've never been to a show where the pit was completely peaceful and everyone had enough room and no problems were caused. It just seems so obvious that it's going to happen. Otherwise, why wouldn't everyone be clawing their way to the front?

    Or we can try to treat others how we want to be treated. I've been in pits before where people have been kind and helped each other out. Of course there will always be assholes, but this was above and beyond. And I forgot that this is ants and I'm not entitled to an opinion.

    you're entitled to your opinion i just think it's funny that you're blaming the venue for your bad time. It's as if you sought out the most confrontational uncomfortable spot in the venue and then you were surprised when it was uncomfortable, etc.

    Bend did NOT have a PIT. The whole venue was GA. Everyone and anyone in the venue could get up close if they wanted to be dicks enough about it, and there were plenty that did. Like Mason, I too had a different experience from Jenn, and Mason and I were only about 5 feet in front of Jenn. The difference? Being ON the rail vs. back one or two people. That Flask issue with the "parents" was the big cluster. Running from security and abandoning their 9-year old son? The dude that O.D. right up front at the start of the second set wasn't to pleasant of an ordeal either. Some people that left with the "patient" tried to get back in later on in the set.

    Remember back when EVERY show was ALL GA? You stood in line all day and then sat on the arena floor getting stoned until the house lights went down. Once the lights went out and everyone stood up that was pretty much it. If you left your spot you were done. Just maybe if you were lucky you could find your friends again when the opening act was done. Hope everyone remembered where the car was parked.

    I will do Bend again, though seatless GA does suck for us short people.

    I feel the same way in that its not the venue's fault, but BEND was certainly not the "friendly family" experience I get around the DMB community. Yes, she could have removed herself from that space, but after putting in the time since 7AM that decision doesn't come easy. You just keep thinking the annoyances will stop.

    That concrete pad (or the PIT) in Bend did NOT contain the traditional attitudes we have come to expect at a DMB show. Rammstein maybe, but not DMB.

    I recognize that the shots are not at Bend the community but still feel I must say that half of the tickets (4000 of the 8000) went to Warehouse members for the Bend show. Perhaps we should be asking what is wrong with fans these days?

    I think that was to be expected as no pit, people in line all day, trying to get in and out of 4000 plus people.....

    Rail waiting SB for small pits, woodlands, SPAC, DC (was good people)

    Bend. Berkley....if you don't leave for 6 hours.....maybe

    yeah i bet the entire area was warehouse members too because didn't they get the early entrance?

    it's a shame that this happens with big fans of big bands. People are such fans that they all feel that they need to be as close as possible and it ends up hurting their show experience as well as plenty of people all around them when drama goes down. Not like I expect anyone to stop because if they stop, someone else will step in.... it's just a shame....

    Suprisingly I would say maybe 500 people were lined up in the warehouse line.... not nearly as many as expected

    Bumping this thread 2 months after the last post...

    FINALLY downloading the tapes for this show. Looking forward to listening to what I remember as being a very jazzy #41!

    Wondering what you guys were using as album artwork for this tape? I'm not creative enough to come up with my own.
