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

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.

I never heard of those bands, tbh.
Did the first one do “Killer Tofu”?
