The Nameless Ghouls bump

I enjoyed Tobias' comments about the horrendous government we have in place right now.

You were probably too stupid to pick up on that though.

Saw the SOLD OUT show at Madison Square Garden last week and it was EXCELLENT!!!

We have a pedophile racist rapist old senile president. Always worth repeating.

Was at MSG. Took my two girls (aged 13 and 9). Absolute blast. So much effort put into this production to provide every penny worth of admission. Tobias is 45. Not young. But you get the energy of a much younger artist. Band was firing on all cylinders and tight as hell. Funny, sweet, emotional, HEAVY show. Fucking awesome.

I'm going to my first "ritual" tonight. (I can't believe I just typed "ritual...." sigh)

Scored some good seats at 50% off on Seat Geek. Let's see if they are legit. But I can't pass up a bargain.

I'm actually excited because the production looks good and as I listen to Spotify's This is Ghost playlist, I am surprised how many good catchy songs they have.

That said, although the show outside Chicago looks nearly sold out, Ghost are a hit and miss not-quite-arena level band outside of major markets. For example, Omaha has the entire top deck closed off, and St louis, Minneapolis, Austin, Kansas City all look pretty soft in sales at this point. HOWEVER, it's quite a feat for Tobias to turn this band into a 10,000-15,000 seller in major markets and probably a 5,000-10,000 seller in other markets.

Doing well. Catchy songs. Fun gimmick. And solid production and musicianship. I'm a fan.

great show. sold out arena.

total pros. tobias know how to put on a good production -- sets, lighting, all with a slow build. Great musicians and sound (although sounded almost too good? wonder if some tracks are piped in....)

really, really solid.

Tobias is too respectful of the live experience to resort to that. He's a music junky himself.

He's just a perfectionist and gets A-level players.

Ghost gave away another 14000 tickets in Chicago
Only way people wear tour merch..must be free at gigs

Its over Ghost

I'm not doubting him. It sounded ridiculously good.
love that he knew his rock history and get calling the venue Rosemont Horizon vs. Allstate Arena.

Crowd was really into it.

They gave away closer to 13,000 -- I don't think the arena holds 14,000 in this set up. (It claims an 18,500 capacity for concerts, but that is in the round and seems questionable. It lacks a 300-level and seems significantly smaller than United Center)

But this was a legit strong sale: other than nosebleeds going on secondary resale sites for $33-$50, there were few sales to be had on secondary sale sites. I scored Section 104 (lower section, right next to the stage) 3/4 way up for about 50% of $207 full price, but that was a lucky grab. All the way up the near-show time those lower level, floor and pit re-sale tickets were all still at premium prices (which means demand was strong for this show). AND it was night Number 2 of Lollapalooza in Chicago.....

I attended last night’s show in St. Paul Xcel Energy Arena. I could tell the band was failing as stated by a few of you by the looks of 18,000 people on their feet all night . No opener, only 2 hours and 15 minutes of a great band. The chrome accents on all of the members cloaked in black mixed with the stage lighting was a helluva visual. Sound was incredible as the bass was really up in the sound mix. Moreover, the bassist is a fucking killer player and is worth watching for the price alone. A wide variety of ages were in attendance. Ghost Head of Security Richie Surrency is very interactive with the fans at the front stage guardrail. Tshirts were $50 and $60. Flags were $20 and poster $15.00. Tobias has a couple moments of dialogue with the crowd, but not a lot. They kept the show moving. Would see the band again in a heartbeat.

Sidebar: to the earlier poster he posted a couple weeks ago about the crowd being very polite and absolutely zero aggressive behavior, that was 100% accurate. I saw very few people go to the restroom during this show. Take peoples phone away and they are locked in hard on a great concert.

I forgot to mention how great it was to be at a concert with no cell phones out. I do think it encouraged the crowd to be louder and more participatory. (They actually didn't seal my pouch and I could have used my phone, but the whole vibe was cool to just leave the fucking phone put away.)

Yes, this should become a regular thing at arena shows. It was great and if you can't put your phone away for 2 hours then GTFO.

I didn't see ANYONE bitching about it, btw. I think bands with tight, close fan bases can get away with this - and they should.
