    Does anyone remember talk of the old Armory Station in Minneapolis being turned into a mid sized venue?

    Not sure if that idea got turned into another condo complex in the downtown area.

    Always love QotSa, but they can do a lot better than the Mpls market.

    oof. be prepared for a lot of echo and muddy sound.

    i mean, i don't want to bring you down. it's not like you'll have a bad time. it's just a shitty venue. and i'm really stumped that gorillaz, qotsa, AND lcd soundsystem all got booked there. gorillaz looks to be the only one actually sold out (except for the ridiculous 'platinum seats', lo-f'n-l at that in this venue), but the only available tix for the others are in those side seating areas. and there's a reason for that!
    And to add to the fun of getting in there that evening, it is the MN Wild home opener so traffic/parking will be a treat.

    Great show last night!  

    Very happy with the Palace Theater.  Suprised at how big it is. Good sight lines with the tiered/sloped floor. The sound is good. And the bar was well staffed, almost no wait time to get a beer.

    I mean they could play better venues that are the same size. Palace theatre, orpheum, state theatre. They could play Rochester or Duluth and even had a tour ten years ago called 'The Duluth Tour'. It's no secret Roy Wilkins is terrible; the band has played there and they probably know it too. It just seems like a wasted opportunity for all involved.

    Where exactly in Duluth would they play?

    Queens could play at AMS Oil arena (or the DECC as it was once called, where they played in 2007) or even the waterfront.

    I went to UMD. I was gone before they updated the DECC. So, my apologizes. I forget its no longer a dump.

    I hope the band checks the porch and sees this has been on the front page for a while. Ten thousand responses gets a show? :-)

    Can Al Franken pull some strings for a hometown show?
