Really.I'm not saying, never on...You're hilarious. Really.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying, never once, that any of these bands WILL play. I'm saying "just because of some far off date in the future that isn't announced, don't discount them".<BR/><BR/>"less than one percent"? You just said of "touring bands". Aside from really major acts like Tom Petty or Dave Matthews that only hit one area a year and do it for days at a time, over half of bands play one area multiple times in 12 months.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of doing 3 night stands, how is that ANY different from coming twice in a year? You're still hitting the same audience, pulling from the same fanbase every time. The only difference I see is people can't afford multiple concerts in one month versus four-six months later they can.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my goal wasn't to point out bands as big as Radiohead, you asked for "big ticket acts that you can go on and on about that hit the NW 2-3 times within a year? ". And whether or not they're the caliber of or in the category of Radiohead is irrelevant, they're "big ticket". Headlining and coheadlining festivals kind of does that for you. Throw Queens of the Stone Age on that list, playing in both August and December in the PNW (hint: 4 months apart)<BR/><BR/>Quick, scramble for some other excuse to make my argument mute. Of course, since I'm not talking, my argument is pretty silent to begin with. Maybe you meant moot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-20202297859351689962008-02-23T18:00:00.000-08:002008-02-23T18:00:00.000-08:00The reason Stephen Malkmus's crowd was so small wa...The reason Stephen Malkmus's crowd was so small was because he was a last minute add.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-55277990368077950842008-02-23T17:31:00.000-08:002008-02-23T17:31:00.000-08:00regarding malkmus and the jicks, i think there's a...regarding malkmus and the jicks, i think there's a high change of them playing sasquatch!, about which i am pretty excited. last time they were great, although their crowd was strangely smallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-7877785414465630392008-02-23T17:29:00.000-08:002008-02-23T17:29:00.000-08:00Coren not a single band you mentioned even comes c...Coren not a single band you mentioned even comes close to being a big ticket act comparable to Radiohead...<BR/><BR/>There was never an argument about a band doing mutli night stands, that makes sense, what doesn't make sense for big bands is to come back every few months. Multi night shows are very successful for big ticket acts...tom petty and dave matthews do it at the gorge all the time.<BR/>Not a single band you mentioned is in the same category as radiohead, personally i don't even really like radiohead but that isn't the point. You have to stay on topic during an argument to win lil buddy...it's okay. The number of bands that do come back 2-3 times in one year compared to the number of touring bands who do not is probably less than 1% so your argument is mute. You keep arguing your slim chance in hell argument, it's noble work you are doing. <BR/>The Kinks would be interesting, hopefully the second tier acts are diverse. <BR/>Monday will be hear soon, then Coren can find out that his slim chance in hell arguments were without any merit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-74465620098702288822008-02-23T17:21:00.000-08:002008-02-23T17:21:00.000-08:00I don't know where you heard 50,000 but that figur...I don't know where you heard 50,000 but that figure is way off. <BR/>22,000 was the max capacity in 2006 (sold out on the Saturday and Sunday).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-38455915499966458082008-02-23T16:57:00.000-08:002008-02-23T16:57:00.000-08:00http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gorge_Amphitheatr...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gorge_Amphitheatre<BR/><BR/>Seating capacity is 20,000.

Oh. shit, yeah they did. Ditto Incubus. The Killers did it a while ago. Placebo did it last year, as did My Chemical Romance. I mean, some of these aren't my kind of bands, but they definitely are big ticket bands these days.<BR/><BR/>And hey, it's not like bands ever play back to back (to back) shows in one area either right? I mean, they can't possibly think they have enough fans to come out to support two or three shows in as many days, can they? Oh...yeah, they do that don't they? If a band can do two and three night stands and draw huge crowds, hitting one area twice in a calendar year is no stretch at all.<BR/><BR/>More on topic, Travis over at Ear Candy was talking about the possibility (slim) of the Kinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-38631121154877641442008-02-22T15:11:00.000-08:002008-02-22T15:11:00.000-08:00If you look back at past Sasquatch shows, they don...If you look back at past Sasquatch shows, they don't typically have huge "arena" acts like Radiohead and Pearl Jam. The only one in recent memory is NIN.<BR/><BR/>The Sasquatch headliners are almost always bands that do the theatre circuit and have more of a cult following and appeal to the indie / alternative crowd.<BR/><BR/>i.e. Bjork & Arcade Fire. Interpol & Beasties. Beck & Queens of the Stone Age. Ben Harper & The Flaming Lips. Pixies and Modest Mouse.<BR/><BR/>The Gorge holds about 20,000 people, so you want typically see bands at Sasquatch that can do those sorts of numbers with their own shows. That's more of a Coachella or 'Roo thing.<BR/><BR/>So unless they're drastically changing the feel and scope of the festival, I really doubt we'll see Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, STP, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-67168675352615816462008-02-22T12:55:00.000-08:002008-02-22T12:55:00.000-08:00Listing off NW bands like Mountain goats, supersuc...Listing off NW bands like Mountain goats, supersuckers, decemberists and the local bar bands don't count either...haha<BR/><BR/>Your "point" reminds me of the good ole saying- "Shit in one hand and hope in the other and see which fills up first..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-11188386591909088862008-02-22T12:52:00.000-08:002008-02-22T12:52:00.000-08:00Weird a NW band playing in the NW a lot...wow good...Weird a NW band playing in the NW a lot...wow good example buddy.

The point is when it comes to rumors and touring, the fact that a band is playing the same market a couple to a few months later Drastically reduces the chances of them at the festival. You really can not argue with that especially when it comes to big ticket acts. I am right you are wrong, the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
