Keswick 10/22 Thread
 

I just got tickets for the Keswick Theater this Sat. I've never been there. Any info on whether the security is tight with video/audio taping and pictures? Im thinking Im gonna just enjoy the concert w/o worrying about archiving it but I could change my mind. Is there anyone else here gonna record it? Whats the venue like? Thanks.

Is Gary and Mark OK with recording this tour??

Scuzz

Hey scuzzles,
I have been to the Keswick, it's a pretty good place. Not sure about the taping policy, though.

just checked tickets, and seems to be only row Z left!

Last I looked Ebay and Stubhub still have good seats.

I'll be there @ Keswick Theatre - old theatre that has not been refurbished like some other older venues (i.e Count Basie in Red Bank, NJ)

I'm taking my 16-year old son to his first concert - we're both really looking forward to it!

If any of you all are into a meet-up before he show, I think this is where my husband and I will be. PM me if you think you can make it.

Scuzzles, I think the band has a "don't ask; don't tell" policy about taping. Taping seems like a common thing at the Keswick for the shows I've seen there. Video would be difficult, as it's a really "sit down" type of theatre, but discrete audio should be fine.

wowie! you got Mockingbird Time! how was it???

mockingbird time! would have liked to see that one live.

Bought two tickets last minute and met a couple friends who live a mile from there had dinner and drinks at the Keswick Tavern accross the street. My wife went over their house with the wife, and her husband went to the show with me. (My wife is not a huge Jayhawks fan but he is)

So we say our goodbyes and head into the show figuring to have a couple more drinks inside the venue. Charming old theatre with great acoustics.

A few songs into the opening act (Tift Merritt) they scan our tickets & we go in and head right to the bar… there is nobody in line. One of the 3 bartenders says “we are closed”

WTF???? Excuse me???? Closed?????

“At the artists request, we won’t be serving during her performance”

Excuse me???? Closed????? WTF????

Everyone around was just as shocked as I was, you couldn’t even buy water. Apparently it was a bit noisy and she had a hissy fit on stage and yelled for quiet.

So after her snoozefest of a set they re-opened the bars and you then had to wait an hour for everybody to get drinks. The Jayhawks took the stage to a 2/3rds filled theatre because everyone else was still in the lobby getting drinks.

It was really weird

Oh.. the show was awesome, but the new stuff seemed a little flat. Marc seemed disinterested in any song (Tampa, Angeline etc) that was put out while he was not with the band. The audience was DEAD (perhaps from the lack of liquid refreshment) - seroiusly almost no one was standing/dancing/grooving.

Two Hearts and Over my Shoulder were absolutely SPECTACULAR

Up Above My Head was a nice treat

Dead, aside from the gentleman shouting "FUZZFACE!" and "YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" at random intervals. :eek:

Gary:

"Yeah, Fuzzface..... that's what everybody calls me."

lol at "gentleman"
