I read the 300 number in another post. I have no real information. BTW, how was that show? I haven't read anything about it anywhere. Was it a good crowd? How was the venue? Why didn't I go there instead of waiting for the Forum show?

Ticket prices, if the ones I check on were correct, might have had something to do with it.

Vegas shows are always crazy priced.

It's just my estimate. There were no more than 50 people there when Damian Lazarus was on. I was actually at the front railing talking to people for awhile and it was really eerie. 300 may be low but it wasn't much higher.

Vegas is horrible for electronic music. Especially on a Thursday night ;)

The crowd was very good, though. A lot of smiling faces. It didn't matter there weren't too many, the people who were there had a lot of fun.

They played half of Beacoup Fish it seemed, which I had no problem with. :)

I think 300 is too low. The floor was about half filled, plus the people hanging out at the bar in the back, but the balconies were closed. The Joint is a 4000 person capacity venue. I'd say there were probably about 800-1000 people there.

Re: Los Angeles Gig Terminated By Police (8/8/09).
 

Maybe no more than 1,000 but still way more than 300. And the crowd was pretty cool. A little weak on the dancing but you could tell from reactions there were loads of hardcore fans in Vegas.

Setlist was incredible:

Dirty Epic
Bamboo
Rez
Cowgirl
Kittens
King of Snake
Small Conker with a Twix
You Do Scribble
Between Stars
Nuxx
Monkey Wink
Two Months Off
Diamond Jigsaw
Spikee
Cups
Push
Jumbo
Moaner.

phew. such a young crowd and so much drugs floating around.

Re: Los Angeles Gig Terminated By Police (8/8/09).
 

PHEEEEW is right.

They should know by now, you need to be an elected official, professor, sports star, or with the far-out-right-crowd for that kind of going on to be legal and unwatched to get away with it.

Sheeesh, what dumbasses.

Eyewitness accounts of the shutdown. Confirms that it was way oversold and understaffed.
