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!

I just posted the recording to DIME: http://www.fansoflive.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1761

As I was tracking the CS set, I headed over to the CS.com forum for some help with the set list. Didn't find any info, but a few folks over there sure take an acrimonious tone in regards to Live. I didn't love the set either, but wow they need to learn to be a little more accepting.

What the fuck? Here are some quotes:

1. "I wasn't suprised to see how the place cleared out after Live took the stage. No disrespect intended, but the vocals sounded like a chipmunk on crack. I have always endoyed Live on the radio, I think I'll keep it that way."

2. "I've been to some pretty crazy concerts in my time and have never heard the likes of what I heard Sunday. Live sucked, plain and simple. Maybe they did have a bad night, but the way I see it, I pay for a good show and that is what I expect. I want to hear and feel the music I have paid for. Not look at the stage and wonder if I made a mistake while my ears are freaking out because they can't distinguish one sound from another. I have never been more disappointed in a band than I was that night. I own some of their music, and was really looking forward to seeing them. Well, never again. I would rather watch " starched pants" and a guy that "dances with his mic for an hour" have a great time with each other and their audience, and who's instruments and vocals are distinct, than some, fat, disillusioned, fool stomping around like some kind of freak, a back up vocalist you couldn't hear, and mush for sound any day. To each his own I guess. "

3. "I had never seen them before and I was never very into their music. I would have paid double for a double-set of CS."

I didn't care to waste my time reading any more, but I'm sure you can find them. I love the fact that SNJ1279 is a member of the CS board. Here's a quote of his I found:

I've seen Collective Soul open for Live 5 times this year, and each time I found the band to be very boring onstage. There energy is much lower than Live's and there is no interaction between band members during the set. There is a reason that Live headlined the tour and its because they have a larger overall fanbase and put on the better concert. Simple as that.

So true my friend in good concert taste, so very true!

I don't give a shit what these fucking crackheads say, Collective Soul totally sucks in concert. No questions, not debate. To steal a line from Kid Rock, they look like a bunch of wounded ducks up on stage. Simply said, their fans are fucked up in the ears!
