Ooooooor, shall we dream about blink planning on playin' their WHOLE discography? Two nights per album or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Honestly, using that time to experiment a bit wouldn't be a bad idea. They already have the contracted shows. They could pick 8 songs they haven't done live in a long time or ever and play one every two nights and rotate, judge crowd reaction that way; develop a less tired setlist. Im just saying, it isn't entirely infeasible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Apparently the Pearl Theatre only holds 2,500 people. Seems like it could be a sweet intimate show to catch if you're in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 My hunch is that these Vegas shows will be the last place they would experiment on a set list at. Crowd will be full of randos and casuals there for the hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't be a big payday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I bet ticket prices will be ridiculously high. You'll get the 30% vegas markup, and then the "its an intimate show" special price will add a few $$$. They might even thrown in a few VIPs for $1000 a person.

It's more likely we get All The Small Things 15 times in a row than an experimental setlist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, of course it'll be the same old setlist ... It would just be a good idea. A lot of bands will play smaller shows to do the same thing. That way you aren't doing it on an actual tour and you can get a pretty good consensus of what works and what doesn't. Blink generally doesn't do that so this Vegas stint would be the next best thing. They won't but they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'll admit, I am pretty damn jealous of them. I'd love to go to Vegas and make a ton of money playing shows. Would be like a dream. When I think of Vegas I think of losing money, this would be, the reverse of that. I'd definitely grab a room in the penthouse, order up a few women, and some of those really good burgers they have via room service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when you're so popular that you can attract a wide of variety of people to come and watch your show in a city where people go to lots of different kinds of shows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
