Comment on Concert encores are like adult peekaboo for a crowd.

Imagine if the whole show was like that. Maybe not every song, but maybe after a 45 minute set, the band walks off, and if the crowd is still into it, they come back out. As a fan, you remember all the shows where everyone was disappointed that the band didn’t keep playing, but I bet the bands remember every show where the crowd couldn’t care less.

My MIL went to see Frankie Valli recently. Dude is 91 years old and still performing…but doesn’t have the stamina he used to. She said this show was like that…he’d do a couple songs, go backstage and rest, come back out.

I saw Slipknot I think last year and those guys are in their 50’s. They were taking backstage breaks every couple of songs.

That’s a shame. I saw Offspring last summer (first time I’ve ever gotten lawn/GA seats, best time I’ve had at a concert since like my first concert at that venue (Godsmack 2002 I think). Awesome show. I think they had a brief intermission where some pickup band played for a bit before coming back out, but can’t really remember, as I was really fucking stoned.

On the other hand. I’ve also seen BEAT where two of them are close to 80 and the other two are in their 60’s, and they only had one intermission break in the middle of the set.
Meshuggah, who play the heaviest music in the universe are also on their mid-late 50’s and they don’t take breaks.
