Title: 2012-07-02 - Gibson Amphitheater - Los Angeles, CA
Post by: DarkLord_Lalinc on May 01, 2012, 08:46:32 AM
Your mexican friend is planning to go to LA and see DT once again (I catched them when they were down here in Mexico during December), but I'll have some money available and I was planning a trip to the US, so here it goes.

Anyone attending? Anyone wants to meet-up? It's like my only chance of meeting some of you guys, you know, because of the distance  :lol So I hope some kind of meet-up takes place.

Just purchased my Meet & Greet for this show.

Not sure of pre-sale code for this show.  Live Nation had an app promo which I have no interest in joining.  Did not receive my Live Nation email for this show.

Ticketmaster code for Anaheim is BACK.

You doing general admission or dinner theater in anaheim?  Last time G/A was miserably oversold, so for the upcoming show I opted for the front of the table 210 in Tier 2.

$106 for 1 orchestra seat at Gibson!!!  Did anyone else notice that the "convenience charge" is on an escalating sliding scale depending on the value of the ticket?  Glad I opted for VIP ACCESS for this show, since Gibson floor seats are already way more expensive than the other west coast shows.  San Francisco is half the price for G/A (which means show up early and be happy) and Anaheim is way cheaper (and includes dinner at a table with great stage visibility).

Insane right??

I actually paid $84 for each ticket, so about $170 total. I got pretty kickass seats, Orchestra 5, row JJ, seats 1 and 2.
To think that 3 rows ahead, the prices jumps to $106 so I thought I got some sweet tickets.

I love how the Grove prices are relatively cheap compared to the Gibson and you're so damn close to the band.
I'm curious about the dinner but I heard the food sucks  :lol

WELL!!!!  In a Dramatic turn of Events....... :|    The ticket agency I bought my Anaheim tix from called me today and informed me that the tix I bought were not available, and should have been removed from their website.  SO!!!  They didn't have anything decent for Anaheim (which is pretty much sold out), so I asked about the Gibson show.  They hooked me up In ORCH 2 row EE, these tix go for about $70 more for each ticket than the Anaheim tix.  I would have preffered Anaheim because of my work schedule, but what can ya do!  At least they did me a solid on the tix  ;D

Meet & Greet itinerary was emailed to me today.  So stoked.  Started writing down my questions for each member.  Going directly from the airport (from SF show) to the venue so I don't think I'll be able to meet any folks before the show, other than those DTFers who have the VIP package.  Give a shout if you are M&Ging in L.A.

IF you DTFers have any good (and I mean good) questions you would like me to pose to the band as I quickly make my rounds at the M&G table, please lemme know. 

For example, here's a possible questions I have for JP:

"What were the two songs from A Dramatic Turn of Events that you felt vocally were not coming together and compelled you to fly to Toronto to work on with James and Rich Chycki?"

JP mentioned this in an interview when the album was released and the interviewer did not think to ask this follow-up.  Duh!!

Sound was pretty decent, JR was a little low in the mix from our vantage point, but overall it was good!  My Nephew, who drums for a local band was just absolutely floored by the show.  ;D

Where I was sitting last night, about midway in the venue, the sound was great.  Particular highlights would probably be This is the Life, and TSCO. Just really relate to those 2 songs right now.  JLB sounded super good.  My sister kept asking "How does he sing like that, for 2 hours?".

The audience seemed to enjoy themselves.  The people sitting and the people standing in our section got along a bit better than last year's show.  No screaming matches at least, although a couple "please sit down" requests were made.  People either stood or sat as they pleased.  And ultimately, everyone enjoyed a really, really good show.

Great show at the Gibson. Did anyone one else hear the screw-up during Metropolis? It was midway thru the song during the all out jam section. Took about a full measure to get back in sync.

 I'm pretty sure it may have been JP , because after the finale MM came out from behind the drums and he and JP gave each other a big hug while talking, and as they broke away from each other MM gave the "What me? No...you! as he pointed to JP and they were laughing.

Some guy has most of the songs on Youtube but not the encore, so I can't be sure. Nice to know DT are human after all!  Jeez, can they kick ass.

Post by: RaiseTheKnife on July 05, 2012, 08:12:21 PM
Yeah -- Mangini messed up the build into the bass solo section, jumping ahead to the staccato breaks too soon.  JP whipped around and MM mouthed the words "I'm Sorry!".  After the show MM indicated it might have been JP, but when he saw folks in the audience shaking their heads, he realized it was really his flub.
