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.

  Taking things in a very different direction, the opening act is a musical fluffer.

    Sometimes you only go for the opening act/s.

      I mean one time I went and saw Lourde (who was actually great) just to see Run The Jewels open for her

      So yeah, truth
