The Fillmore, Denver, October 7th Options

[TopHook]

Just looking to see if anyone can provide info on how the shows are going and the estimated playing times with Emerson Hart-CS- Live. My son, who I got hooked on Live and is now a huge fan, just turned 16 and I'm thrilled to be taking him to Live at the Fillmore. Their show last year here in Denver was incredible and he's gonna be floored. Anyway, the show starts at 7:30 and I'm just trying to see if anyone has an idea about how long Emerson and CS will play and an estimate of when Live might come on.

Thanks!

Here's my take on last night's show in Denver...
Show scheduled to start at 7:30pm with Emerson Hart and CS opening. I showed up with my 16yr old in tow at about 9pm - perfect timing as CS had just finished and many folks were streaming out. Was able to move up on the GA floor to about 20ft away. The Fillmore is a pretty small venue - a HS gym sized main floor that is all GA and some limited seating available on the raised sides. Overall a very cool place to see a show - not sure what the size is but my guess is 1000-1500 or so.

The boys came on just after 9:30...

All Over You
Waitress - a great version and lots of energy from Ed on this - he seemed to really want to get the crowd into it from the start.

The River
Mirror Song
Dolphins Cry
They Stood Up For Love
Selling the Drama
I Walk the Line
Wings
Beauty of Gray
Run To The Water

Ok, I have to say to this point the crowd was very lame. Don't know if it's because of the CS mix of fans, but Ed seemed to be doing his best to get the crowd into it, to no avail. When Live played the Paramount last year the energy in the crowd was about 10 times higher and kept growing for each song. This crowd was very disappointing, but fortunately their lack of energy didn't really seem to bring the band down. For the next song, though, Ed really kicked it into a different gear...

I Alone - high energy, great version, really working to get the crowd going.
Heaven - awesome - two songs in a row with the crowd now much more engaged

Encore...
Sophia
Lakini's Juice
Lightning Crashes

Overall I thought the band put on a really good show - just disappointed in the crowd. Certainly would have been much better with an "all-Live" audience.
