    Re: Rochester

    Alan said they didn't make it in until after 5. Given that doors were at 7 ... yeah.

    Re: Rochester

    Actually Alan said at 5 pm they weren't even across the border yet so yeah, it was cutting it close. That must have been why the doors didn't open until 7:20.

    It was an awesome show, the best I've seen in years. The venue was small enough that the crowd was mostly die-hard fans who were singing and dancing all night (except it was like 95 degrees in there).  So glad to hear Clearest Indication and no seal-clubbing song.

    I'm green with envy.  Seriously.  I am SOOOOO jealous of y'all.  I really wanted to be there.  Whose night was it to solo?  How big was this venue?  I've never been there - want to know if I should be looking at going there for other shows in the future.

    Ah, so. Had earplugs in, so I missed most of the banter. They did have everything else turned up to 11, so I didn't miss out on the music :)

    Re: Rochester

    I just got back home to Long Island after seeing the show and spending the night with my cousin who lives in Rochester. Very small venue, I think the crowd was about 500 or so, packed in a bit in front of the stage, but plenty of room for dancing and stuff on the sides. I took a walk up to the balcony and it was small, but all the seats were up there were full. We got to the show late (about 8:15) because my cousin was showing me some of the very good Rochester Irish bars Johnny's and  another place (Sullys?or Smitty's?) I can;t remember. The band did arrive late, Glenn did not get a chance to set up the merch counter till midway thru the show. There was an opening act whose name I did not get and he ended his short set around 8:30 or  so. The venue had a great selection of beverages on tap and bottle and I thought $4.00 for my Coors Light was reasonable. Amazing show, the boys were in good voice and spirt. They did the 80's melody and it seemed to me the first time that the crowd knew all the words to both verses of "Summer of 69". I did not see anyone from the OKP that I knew, but I chatted with some fans from all over and some from Canada that made the trip. Great night and of course another great show.
