Yea I thought all their Chicago shows this year were good. Especially after so many years with playing not so great shows there.
But why does that city have so many dumpy venues I will never understand. I got thrown out of the balcony during UMbowl because god forbid my spun ass needed to sit down and take a breather for just 5min. I didn’t have a balcony ticket but there were plenty of open seats.
Yeah I hope they get booked at that Salt Shed spot next time they play Chicago. I saw Goose just got two nights there on their spring tour.
the Riv is a joke. My jameson was so watered down at JRAD this past weekend.
At UMBowl my buddy and I went to the absolute top of the building/stairs to sneak a quick smoke in and there was a jam productions employee who “caught us” but hadn’t actually caught us doing anything yet. He got into a shouting match with my buddy cause he threatened to kick us out and my buddy just kept explaining that he couldn’t and this employee just got in his face and yelled “well, you’re a fucken ass!”
I could not stop laughing. At one point the dude called us “slaves to the smoke” or something and my buddy responded "addiction isn’t a cause for expulsion!
he looked like a senior citizen version of Little Bitch/Squeak from Baseketball.
I’d like to see um at the radius. It was pretty rad when we saw Gizz there
Would never go see UM at the riv again
Came here to laugh about um getting locked out of their Twitter account
For real. Place is an absolute shit hole.
Thought it was just Midwest fluff but it definitely lived up to its shithole reputation. The bathrooms are fucking disgusting. The small window bar to the left of the pit is clutch though.
I was there last weekend for JRAD and it sucked. A 20 minute line for that place breaks my spirits because of how awful it is.
It’s shady because that $5 million renovation was really just replacing all the seats in the balconies. The seats were fucked don’t get me wrong, 40% of them were 100% springs but it’s clear the only reason they put the money into it was to sell individual tickets. Sooo many things need to be addressed and they spent $5m on seats.
Glad y’all didn’t have to attempt a coat check or experience a sold out show. It’s rough.
Checking a coat a show seems like a generally poor idea
Yeah the window bar was sweet. Just had to keep your head on a swivel lookin out for the ninja security man and your good
Idk I’d prefer individual reserved tickets. It’s nice to show up and have a seat waiting for you
Looking at the massive amount of your dates um has scheduled for next year, when is the last time they did a tour this big?
2019 most likely brah.
I agree, I’m just pointing out that that’s the only reason for they did those renovations. There’s so many things that need to be addressed sooner but you can’t sell seated tickets when 15% of the seats are not usable.
Did they at least fix the AC situation like the promised? Or is it still an oven in there?
I was right in front of the rail in front of soundboard and it was a fucking oven
oven
That being said… Biscuits?
yes. probably 29 & 31
