STS9 :: February 12, 2005
House of Blues :: Chicago, IL

I just got back from one packed House of Blues tonight. The problem was, it was nearly unbearable. You couldn't get anywhere close if you tried. And seriously now, why do some people have absolutely no respect for their fellow concert-goer? I have to say that I think I'm getting too old for some of this shit...

The truth is, I might actually have to come to terms with that sometime in the near future. I think I'm getting too old to handle a packed house at the House of Blues, where there are no seats. It's hard to get around way too many people invading your private space if you don't have a spot to sit (unless you want to hang out the freekers dancing by the walls).

The show that I saw was hot. STS9 never ceases to amaze me. They simply are one of the best and brightest bands I've ever witnessed and experienced. It's a shame that the crowds that can be associated with this band have nothing to do with the actual character of the members of the music that they create.

I'm not saying that they sold out. They didn't. But that crowd tonight sucked. It's not even debatable.

this truly was unfortunate because the music STS9 was putting out on saturday was amazing as usual. however, the venue was so overcrowded that it was nearly impossible to enjoy. maybe we are getting too old. on the other hand, i've been to hundreds of concerts before and have NEVER felt so claustrophobic in my life! that's definitely my last show at the house of blues :(

the show was extremely packed. yet the energy that sts9 brings on is amazing. I think they need to move up in size of the pavlion.

Apparently, that wasn't the only show on the tour to be oversold. It sucked for me because the last time I saw STS9 at House of Blues, it was much better.

I think that most of the crowd was actually due to Saul Williams. A friend of mine wanted to get his band the opening spot for STS9, and they told him that he needed to bring 400 people. 400 people for an opener! That tells me that STS9 should actually be going to smaller clubs. Forget Saul Williams. STS9 needs to stick to the clubs that suit their current tour loads...
