Also, the number and relative frequency of tracks from the 1995 Soldier's Field show played on PJ radio in recent days is... prophetic? Coincidental? A tease?#Grievance20250

With respect specifically to the intermission, though, it was perfectly placed. The two halves of the film were an hour and forty-five minutes and an hour and fifty minutes, separated by a fifteen-minute intermission (with an onscreen clock counting down the time). I've seen some other films where the intermission was oddly placed, with one half running much longer than the other half. This one made sense in terms of time and in terms of where it came in the narrative.
They likely cut it after half the cans for an intermission, if their projector could handle extra spools.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -

As far as a set break, I think it could *maybe* improv the way PJ goes about their sets and offer some new variety with maybe something like an acoustic or all album "set", but the way they do it now: mini break that lasts 2:00-5:00 minutes, including an Eddie rant, then some slow songs into the grand finale is uniquely PJ and has been since at least 1993. The "break" doesn't guarantee how many songs follow it.
Having a timer like Tool does is very theater-esque and reminds me of someone doing a casino tour. The stuff they do these days makes no sense to me. Let me lock my phone up because Maynard is afraid of cameras. okaayyy. Thankfully PJ aren't that pretentious...0 -
CantKeepmedown said:I'd be fine with the no phone policy as well now that my kids are older. But I can see parents of youngsters having a slight issue with it.
Funny story, a few years ago, Jack White was playing here in Portland. I was not there but had friends who were. My son (who was probably 16-17 at the time) was out with his friends. They got pulled over and because the driver didn't have their license for long enough (not allowed to have anyone but family in the car), they all got brought to the station.
The officer started calling all the kids parents. One of my sons' friends parents were at the Jack White show. When the officer called me he asked if I knew so and so's parents. I told him that I did, but they weren't going to respond to a phone call and explained the situation. I vouched for them and luckily he released the kid to me.
Obviously not a big deal as the kids were older. But even parents that have younger kids with baby sitters I can see being a little hesitant to give up their phones for 2-3 hours. Especially if they are not aware of the policy (which I assume is stated on the ticket?)
I’ve seen Jack twice since this policy started (and also Tool twice and Sessanta last year where the same rules applied), and have no problems with the policy whatsoever and enjoy not having to look through people’s phones as they’re holding them above their heads to get terrible videos of every song. I also like to take pictures at shows, (checkout my shots in the Indy thread from the pit last year) but Jack provides higher quality ones than i’d ever be able to get on his website that you can download and Tool/Maynard stands down security for the last song of the night, so the option is still there at the end of the show.0 -

Funny enough the person in front of me at MSG night 2 last fall was using her phone but not to video the show or take photos. She was online shopping.In fairness, the song playing on stage was Not For You and it very much was not for her.Post edited by maverick on0

Merkin Baller said:Whatever the reason is for Tool's phone policy, (Maynard's a pretentious bitch or they don't want shitty bootlegs of their shows out there or they want a better experience for the fans with less distractions... ) who cares? it's a net gain that there aren't a f ton of glowing screens being held in the air between the audience and the stage.
Raconteurs had a no phone policy in 2019 and it was fantastic. Heaven forbid people put their phones away and live in the moment.
Is it Tool or another band that allows phones for the last song? I can't remember, but that's a fair compromise.
Another fair compromise might be to ban video recording/filming/streaming from the floor and maybe certain sections in the lower level. Allow people to text their babysitter or whoever they need to remain in contact with, but just ban anything where the phone might be blocking someone else's view.
The problem being: If someone can't make a show, they love the videos and live streams.
Easy solution: Charge a reasonable fee per live stream via the same crews that do the video screens. All 10C members get a code to watch one live stream at no additional cost.Presidential Advice from President-Elect Mike McCready: "Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?"0 -

Largo in L.A. has a strict no-phone policy, and it's awesome. I have seen a lot of big names in comedy and music take chances there because they don't have to worry that a failed joke or a musical experiment is going to end up on YouTube or Facebook.
(Largo patrons seem to universally respect this policy, perhaps because enforcement wouldn't be difficult since it's only 324 seats. I've never seen someone use a phone to take a photo or a video* and I've been to easily a hundred shows there.)
*No one unauthorized, that is. Largo staff will take a few photos and videos, and occasionally an artist will live-stream a show.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -
