Precisely, Norma.

Yup K-Krack I see your point. I don't blame Jack and/or Meg for getting pissed about it. HOWEVER, the BIGGER person would realize that there ARE 15,599 other people waiting for them to return. And they can't slip out on this one because most people KNOW they habitually play longer.
I mean come on; Jack didn't even acknowledge the fact that the shoe pissed him off. SAY SOMETHING TO THE FUCKING CROWD! Have some balls and stay in good graces with everybody else that's there enjoying themselves. We'll back you up and lynch the fucker that threw it if you open your mouth! Look, they can do whatever they want obviously, but when you're as big as they are or bigger you're basically running a business. You piss off the customers and you're shooting yourself in the foot! I can't WAIT to see what the newspaper is going to say about this tomorrow. |
Do you really figure the newspaper will care that they played an average length set? Or that the newspaper would even know that the White Stripes regularly play 2 hours sets... doubtful. If I'm wrong, you live in a pretty hip town, duder.
Plus, who knows, they could have just been really tired out, or they could've felt they weren't playing well. |
Nope! Confirmed by the staff at the venue that the shoe did it! FACT!
The newspaper will definitely spew about this. In fact, I'll quote it here when I find out. If there's an incident at show no matter how small, they print it! I've seen it before. |
70 minutes is a while. I'd be satisfied.

boohoo you little whiny bitch....my total expenditure on my only Animal Collective show thus far was $40 for a ticket, plus $15 for transport, plus $44 for two nights in a hostel...that's $99, plus food i had to buy every meal...and Avey's voice went out after their 4th song....they kept it going though, and Panda came out for an encore...the toal show last about 50 minutes...i was heartbroken, but I didnt come bitch about it at a SY message board...and this was their first Australian show ever...

So what? I paid $15 to see SY, and they only played 90 minutes, that was DDN and an encore. Psh, what a rip-off. |
Sorry mate, these things happen.
Idiot in crowd tries to annoy band Band gets frumpy and storms off. Both at fault, but lets be honest if the whole crowd were as livid as you something will get done, if not then i imagine most people would be a little dissappointed but will look back and say "at least i saw 70 minutes". |
hey man, i was at that connecticut show too. It was also my first time seeing the stripes live and yea I agree was kinda disapointed their set didn't go on longer. I saw people throwing shit at them towards the end but couldnt really see what it was.
Anyway, I taped the show if u want a copy |

I was at that show. Fucking hilarious. |
I don't have any White Stripes. If I were to get something, what would you recommend?

NOT a shit gig in the least! Setlist was DEADLY! Nuggets all over the place. Sound was perfect and they rocked like SHIT! Just piss poor attitudes because of a few bad apples in the crowd. If you as a performer can't rise above the idiots you shouldn't be on a stage.

Sorry, dude, but musicians are humans, too. And like any other human, are capable of acting selfishly when angered and frustrated. Unless you want cold, cardboard cut-outs with a running CD player on stage...

So stop complaining about the time thing, drop the subject, and just embrace the fact that you did in fact get to see them. I'm sorry they're all big-fucking-hype now and it costed a lot to see them but that's the problem with bands like them. Oh yeah, and crying about getting shoes thrown at them apparently. Boo hoo. They weren't crying when they were playing on boats and buses in canada and no one was there besides a couple of people and somehow always a pitchfork photographer.

Most peeps in the lot after the show had the same complaint....one more encore didn't seem like too much to ask.We get spoiled seeing bands like SY,and Dino who rock at all costs and give you yr money's worth.And it does seem rather jaded of Jack to let one ass-hat fan ruin it.
But for the length of time he's had his ass kissed by everyone in shinola this should come as no surprise. Nontheless...dynamic,energetic rock duo who can really bring it live. |
If I was you, I would have been pissed off because they had played for too long.

But you're not just talking about any old 'performer', you're talking about JACK WHITE, saviour of the music industry, and a true gift of God to humanity. |
OK, here is my take on it.
70 minutes is NOT LONG ENOUGH. I get outrageously upset when a band I love plays such a short show when they are the headliners. Bruce Springsteen will play 3-4 hour shows. I have seen 2 hour sonic youth shows I have seen many 3 hour Phish shows The White Stripes have enough killer material for 2 hours. HOWEVER you do not know if they were ill that night, or if there were circumstances beyond their control. The story you heard was second-hand, and may be totally false. I understand your anger though. I too feel cheated when a band play such a short set. |
It sucks, but why don't you complain in their forum. But anyways, the more you rant about them makes me want to see them, just to spite you. But I won't do that cause I heard they suck live, so I rather just listen to the albums.
