Maybe it’ll be somewhat of a learning experience. The dude didn’t get on stage u til like 9:20pm. That is the latest anyone I’ve talked to has ever heard of a headliner coming out at Gillette. Doesn’t leave much wiggle room. Noise curfews at a venue like that are up there with banning gas leaf blowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Diving into Facebook from people who claim To be “in the know” apparently luke was not impressed with how this was handled by stadium and local officials. I for one am shocked that local government officials would handle this wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept people stranded for 45 minutes and restarted for 3 songs only to dump everyone outside the thunderstorm in the middle of a thunderstorm. Doesn’t make a whole ton of sense if “safety” is the reason. On 7/20/2023 at 9:50 PM, tunafish said: 40th year for these guys. Bonus: getting rained off stage in Wilmington, NC last night. Funny, same exact thing happened the night before to a different artist. I even posted ITT (see quote). Delayed start to set 2. Three songs in they pull the plug. Guitarist even says at the end of the clip "I want it on my permanent record: I didn't want to stop playing. They're making us stop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope they don’t look at it much different operationally in my mind. If you are in the event business, you are approaching it the same way each time. Doesn’t matter the artist, they’ll follow the SOP and ticketing language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Heard from several people tonight that the sound quality was absolutely atrocious in the second and third levels.

I would also say that the town has to balance the interests of the business with its residents. 11:00 isn’t awful. The noise and stuff doesn’t stop immediately.

Might have been due to the weather but once outside the stadium, we could barely hear anything from inside. Once we got to about bass pro, we couldn’t hear anything.

QCD17 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Thinking of taking the kids boogie boarding at second beach in RI this week. Is there a difference in conditions between hi and low tide for waves? Preferring to be able to wade out 3-4' deep water to catch waves, versus having the kids be over their heads.. I haven't been in at least 6 or 7 years and can't remember if it stays pretty shallow at both ends of the tide or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this guy is touring stadiums, then he should have a very seasoned rigging, sound and light crew with him. The sound issues are not a Mass thing.

Meh. 85% of their constituents were in favor and it was going to cost the town nothing. the only thing this accomplished is backlash and bad publicity for the town.
