Dude AF sold out Madison square garden two times in a row back to back nights

AF is too big for the varsity

The river center could do it. Or the pmac if they didn't suck

That's what I just said. I thought you were telling me that it would be worth it to play the Varsity...if you weren't talking to me, I apologize

What are the chances that the Varsity could get the Shins in October?

They'll be in the south then

Edit: meant to post this in the other thread

Sold out national acts?



Again, not trying to be a dick, but bands like Bush are what I have come to expect in between zoso, cheeweez, and blues traveler at the varsity. They had some hits, a long time ago, but there's a reason the river center didn't book them. Their career is winding down, and it's time to milk the name for a few more bucks.

When you said a big name was playing, combined with all the talk of a fresh atmosphere, my first thought was dr. dog.

I mean... I know their two best albums were in 1994 and 1996

but I still think it's cool that they are playing at the varsity in BR



believe me, there will be "better" acts coming

although, no matter what the show was, people will still bitch

Bush's new record is killer IMO. Top 40 singles off top of my head

Everything Zen
Machinehead
Little Things
Come Down
Glycerine
Swallowed
Greedy Fly
Mouth
Chemicals
Sounds of Winter

Solid show, but not good enough for Varsity or Baton Rouge. I expect Pearl Jam on Friday, Adele on Saturday, and Mumford & Sons on Sunday. Mon-Thur maybe small/nostalgic acts like Bad Religion, Dinosaur Jr,Metric, Grace Potter. I mean, it's Baton Rouge

Why can't Varsity, a venue that hold 1000 people, book shows every night of the week with band like above. It's Baton Rouge.

I would settle for bands like Maroon 5, Gotye, on some weekends, just don't make it a habit.

Why would Mumford not play a 1000 seat venue in a college town at the height of their career on a weekend?
