Booking a show like EO immediately after Umphrey\'s is pure lunacy.
The overlap in your target audience is way too high.
They also had Stanton Moore on tues, and Shakedown tonight.
My guess: <100 people @ Shakedown.

A club does what it needs to do in order to draw a crowd for a band that has the type of players EO has. It is a band of "all-stars" of the jam scene and having no tix sold may have looked bad on the club in terms of promotion(as in they did none or not enough).
So what did they do? They let people in for free AND implied heavily that this was Fishman\'s "new" project. This is ridiculous. It is Matt Butler\'s project and Jon just happens to be the drummer for many of the band\'s incarnations.
Toad\'s not promote........ here i thought it was only the Breakfast

Matt Butler was probably leading the way in telling people about Fishman\'s prescense in the band. If it gets heads in the door, who cares.

Walsh was calling for an all girl jam band. he figured they could suck and still draw huge crowds.

how about that girl on Sax.

Hard to say. It really depends on what it cost the venue. If it was us.....the next time the club would say..."We\'ll do a door deal". Of course a door deal is one thing when there are 3 in the band, or when there are 10 in the band.
My guess is they will play the Webster next time they need a date in CT. But my cystal ball gets foggy at times.
-
EO was fun, i had a good time. they had some cool jams going on. jamie maysfield was ser fishman was ser, keyboard players pretty ser, overall a good band, but the jamming wasn\'t intense just really loose and free flowing.
-
EO was much better than I expected!!! A little weird and boring at times, but most of the time very interesting and funky! A lot of improvised jams set around a theme. Or at least that was my take on it. I would say there were between 150-190 people there.
And...Walsh wouldn\'t know a flyer if it was plastered on his big dome. I went there with 100, there were another 400 at the door and Georgie Gfunk had a bunch. I was hoping that they would have the tickets printed by last night, but they had just started on them. Should be getting them on saturday. I put some flyers around the bar, which most were gone at the end of the night. Gfunk was the leader in passing them out at the door. I would say we got flyers into the pockets of over 60% of the people there. Hey Walsh- I guess it\'s hard to see the flyering work going on when your head is 10 feet in the air and you\'re belly up to the bar. (with a flyer on the bar....RIGHT in front of you!!!) :D
-
will they ever play there again?
-
Well....as of mid afternoon they had zero tix sold. So they made it a free show, unless you were an idiot. Its pretty easy to get some folks to come down when you announce its FREE.
Of course the venue took a huge hit. If we did something like that there we would never play the room again.

I just meant that they had awsome ideas floating around in the second set(a little drunk last night and my thought process was out of control;)) The "more people than the Breakfast" thing was not meant to sound bad, I just have a hard time estimating #\'s of people at shows, that was the best example I could think of to give everyone a clear pic on crowd size. The flame away line was a joke, I figured someone would hate on Phish.
That is the sober explanation of my latenight ramblings.
Oh yeah, and they didn\'t have flyers, i think Todd got those tix to pass out??? I am not sure what happened? All I know was they didn\'t have what they were supposed to.
-
flyering?
lol
-
They had more people that the Breakfast at Daniel St...I was blown away with what they did in the 2nd set...great idea...I am gald Kimock wasn\'t there, too much ego for what they try to do, Fishman was on fire...I cannot wait for the return of Phish...FLAME AWAY .info.
not even gonna touch that. Are you gonna actually tell us what they did in the second set?
also how did flyering go?
-
did somebody just use the word whack???

it gets 4 people in with that piece of paper with phish written on it
-
If you go to Toad.s and hand the door guy a piece of paper with PHISH written on it...you can get free admission.
Yes folks.....sometimes other bands have poorly attended shows. this show has almost no advance sales....hence the above.
-
glad there are people flyering, but EO was lame as all hell when they played at snoe.down. even w/ kimock, fishman, and most of moe. on stage they still bored the **** out of me. its a good idea for a band in theory, but their delivery is whack.
-
i think i will be there. its fuckin free so why not. i have some leftover flyers from last night too.
-
i may show up
-
I am planning on going with Todd and Walsh.
