Live in the USA 2009

Quote from David

The venue for the upcoming show in New York City, The Highline Ballroom, on Saturday, March 28th, 2009 has just instituted an extremely strict curfew time!

Glenn will be Onstage at 8:00PM prompt and the venue has made Curfew at 9:30PM. Yes, you read that right!! This also has the unfortunate side effect of Glenn and band, being unable to do a Meet'n'Greet.

This is totally out of Glenn's control and he's forced to adhere to this extreme and highly unusual arrangement.

As a reminder, the venue's Doors Open at 6:00PM and the evening of music begins at 7:00PM with a support band, Luke Mulholland (www.lukemulholland.com).

Please spread the word, thanks.

For those attending the gig the night before in Foxboro, MA. on the 27th and for the lucky few, who were confimed for the private event the night after in New York City, on the 29th, there will be no such restriction in place and also the Whisky A Go Go gig on April 4th in Los Angeles, California

I realize he has nothing to do with this. It is however outrageous! 9:30!? If he's running late because of any glitches we may not even get a full show. In fact his full show probably is longer than 90 minutes. He should cut the opening act or at least their set.

Why is this? Does anybody have any insight as to why they would have this show and leave so little time for it?

I will be at the Sunday thing but I feel really bad for those who are only going to be there for this show.

I'm sure Glenn is not the least bit happy about this.

That does suck that he can't do that. I mean there are people coming in from all over the world for this. To spring something like this at this hour is bad.

I can only imagine the level of anger!

In all my years and I ain't that young lol I've never even heard of such a thing.

Well, as someone who has had this happen before, for various reasons (club rules, long set changes that hinder headliners sets) I feel for you NY. It's too bad this has happened in such a manner. But make the most of it, remember, you are getting a chance to see the Voice Of Rock!

I think the reason for the tight schedule is that there is something scheduled right after Glenn's performance...so this isn't really a surprise, not that it makes anyone feel better.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone that is coming to town for the show; old friends and new...

I may do another recon trip into the city tomorrow..so PM me and we will see what we can do for a get together before or after the show. The restaurant at the Chelsea Pier looked pretty good..and the beer was reasonable and quite tasty! But we can toss it around!

Have a great week everyone!! Three days and counting!!

Everything is ready, luggages ...

Tomorrow morning flight to NYC at 10

Tomorrow night Allman Brothers : Hope to see you there Mr Bart

The 2 days after : GLENN HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHES IN NYC

What a week end

And so happy to see you alla gain guys & girls

less than 24 hours to go

A Curfew? What does that mean? Everybody out at 9:30 for the club crowd? Strange.

BTW, How long does Glenn usually perform for?

Less than 24 hours? Did I miss something. The Highline show is still Saturday night, right?

Musically and personally speaking, did I already say that the people who run this club are idiots ?
Go ahead Grace...axe 'em

on my way out of the door and to the airport. Big Apple and Papa G., here I come.
I've got my freak flag flying again

peace,

There were a couple venues in Vegas that had / have the same kind of setup, where shows need to be over at a particular time because they had / have a regularly scheduled weekly or monthly event, which is highly successful for the venue. And a concert would be lower on the totem pole, so to speak. Same situation with the Highline, from what I gather. Unfortunate, but you guys will have a great time nevertheless...


Cheers...Todd

My question is why can't they just cut the opening act? We aren't paying to see them. This is no disrspect to the guy. But these fine people here aren't flying and driving from all over the world to see him. The doors open at 6. Why not have this guy come on at 6:30? Or not at all and have Glenn come on at 7 and play a full show?

Like others are saying, I know we'll all have fun regardless. But as David said his normal set is 2 to 2-1/2 hrs long. Somehow we are not getting what we should be. God forbid there are any problems and we won't even get the 90 minutes. Frustrating.

Can't wait to see Glenn again - last time at BB's was awesome - now three nights in a row!!!

Glenn will give you in 90 minutes what most performers put out in an entire tour !!!
One week plus one day for me and the WEST COAST GHCP

Well there is no question as to the level of the performance! I don't think anyone who has seen him will argue that.

Just start at 7 or 7:30 and all will be right with the world!

It has been reiterated in another thread...and I noted this when Glenn's show was put on the schedule, but at 11:00 the venue becomes a dance club. I imagine there will be tables set up for Glenn's show and the time between 2130 when Glenn is supposed to be finished and 2300 when the dance club opens is need to pack up the tables and get the room ready....

Luke Mulholland is not wearing the black hat here.

I am psyched to see everyone..I do have a few phone numbers and will be in touch with some folks...hopefully we can set up a place to commiserate before the show.

Here's hoping all you folks up in Boston have a killer night of GH funk n' soul....

I am hours away from seeing Glenn live in Foxboro Ma. I cant wait to have my son and daughter see and hear Glenn's music live.
