encores..lame or really lame (1 Viewer)

[Righetti]

go to any concert and the encore has become such a contrived act, people don't even go nuts anymore because it has become such an expected part of the concert that it just feels like a short intermission. most of the time the crowd isn't even going crazy anymore.

time do do away with this horrible lame attempt at feel-good for a bunch of old rockers..

I'd rather they just end with a set song, that way I know when to start putting on my coat.

Paraphrasing Frank Zappa: "Now pretend we just left the stage and the next song is the first encore. I don't want to make you stand there any longer than you have to. When we leave the stage, its for good". Of course, he'd also play 30 minute encores.

At a Pearl Jam show, first encore break is basically halftime, and the encore sets could be just about anything. It's really odd that so many huge acts play the same set every night.
