i was also kind of annoyed at the number of very casual fans around me. before the show, one guy behind me was reciting the previous gigs' setlists (which i really didn't want to hear), and going "don't know that one, never heard that one, i think that's his most popular one, don't know that one", etc. two girls next to me also showed up late, then complained that he "only played three songs". urgh. |

How horrible about the flash. My friend said the lighting was iffy, but man, unless you're close, your flash is not going to do a thing. In the balcony? Likely useless!

It amazes me that he can still sound SO good even when he's that ill. If only I had a fraction of that talent...
I truly understand that people were/are very disappointed (and I would be too as I've never seen him live yet and am incredibly excited to do so), however, to be pissed and resort to name-calling because Damien was too sick to continue just speaks to their lack of empathy and a self-centered nature. Obviously the man gave it his all and I applaud him for his effort. |

Also re: people not knowing who people are, when we went to see Glen a few years ago at a free outdoor show, this girl sitting next to us had told her boyfriend (clearly a newer boyfriend...) that Glen was her FAVORITE ARTIST EVER and he had brought her to surprise her. During the show she proceeded to a) not know any of his solo songs, b) not know who Lisa was, c) didn't know who the frames were and the two of them ended up leaving early. I was like ?????? Girl clearly was trying to impress the guy, but he had no idea who Glen was whatsoever. I also get really confused when people say they know Damien but don't know Lisa. Like, she's an amazing lady!! Go educate yourselves!! Last edited by mandarific; 10-15-2014 at 04:09 PM. |

Thank you for Then Go!! One of my favorites and I don't have many recordings of him singing it!

Also that flash was making a lot of noise. I'm glad he is rescheduling that would've ruined it had he continued.

Photographers are arseholes sometimes. In my experience they can be pretty selfish about getting their shot regardless of them ruining the mood for everyone else. And if you say anything to them they get super defensive. If they do the same thing at the next show just report them to the people who work there.

We had flashes like crazy in LA, too. You're in an almost pitch-black cavernous church. Your flash photos in the balcony are going to look like **** and you're just lighting up the whole venue each time you click. It was incredibly distracting for us with our backs to it and I can only imagine how much worse it was for him. Totally kills the vibe of the show. Even when I was recording on my phone, I tried to cover as much of the screen as I could with my hand.
