Title: Summer Tour
Post by nowwhat on Aug 14^th, 2006, 8:29pm

:( Was anyone else disappointed in this year's tour?

Or was it just the Boston, MA concert?

I have seen them a couple times before and LOVED the concerts.....

I suppose it depends on which shows you go to. I went to the Bethel Woods show, and it was really good. That one had a longer set by the Goos, though. I'm sure that makes for a better show.

For me it was like this:

cost of tickets: bad
double bill: bad (not that I found CC bad, I just would have preferred the Goos headline, because in my opinion it is not an equal billing this tour)
setlist: blah
set length: bad
audience: bad
actual performance by the band: good (not the greatest, but perfectly acceptable)

Compared to other Goo shows I've seen, this tour's was probably my least favorite, but it wasn't as bad as I walked into the venue thinking it would be.

I am excited to see them in a smaller venue with a hopefully better setlist this fall as the headliners.

:D Thanks!

I usually see them without my husband, but this year I took him with me (along with my 8 yr. old who is also a huge fan!). Unfortunately, my husband wasn't impressed and neither was my poor son (1st concert )....his favorite song "Big Machine" they didn't play.

We left after Crows played 2 songs...couldn't take it anymore.

I noticed that they are playing again...I may try again this fall.

I wasn't disappointed with my show....I thought that it was great. I expected song mainly from Let Love In so the the setlist wasn't something that was disappointing to me. I just hope that when they add more dates to the fall tour that they come back my way so I can see them do a headlining tour. I saw them in Las Vegas in May and I liked the seeing them in a smaller venue.
