The view from where I was (row 6, dead centre) was really good. I was surprised at that after walking in and seeing the "conference style" setup and the not-so-sloping ground that someone said there was. The crowd around me was okay - my row, and the 5th row weren't full for some reason, so we had room to move around.
Here's a link to some of the better shots I got. You weren't allowed to use a flash. And there was a big sign saying no recording equipment - but I don't think anybody paid attention to that.
show was good. Crwod was a bit lame and tame, short set too. Nothing out of the ordinary really. I felt like i was at a wedding reception though. Very cool venue if you were close enough. Didnt even hear Depresion Suite whick kinda sucked I was looking forward to it. All in all though, the band was tight and it was a great time. Looking forward to next time

I am just kind annoyed cause I was suppose to see them in Denver hat that got cancelled and then I could not see them when i got home either. Hopefuly they will make it up for me in syracuse tomorrow where i still had to pay 140 to go cause that was sold out, so no 18 song night again. and people better be into it like a real hip show
I am not worried about Syracuse. I am positive that they will do 25 songs with an intermission. The reason was absolutely because it was in a casino, as was the case in Vegas. As far as the Good Life show, my guess as to why they only did 18 there, was because it was free. Tonight's show will be awesome - don't worry!
I'm thinking No Suite because of it's length and the band wanting to at least get 18 songs in...
To the person that mentioned empty seats in the 5th row, it is because a lot of the front was comped. (Not all, especially after a few weeks, when they opened up more seats.) Remember, people on right when they went on sale were getting seats in the high teens in terms of rows.
Short set, but I can't complain. The set list was great, didn't see Looking For A Place To Happen coming. The crowd around me was real into it. 12 rows back wasn't too bad. And the venue was odd, but I kind of liked it. Only my 5th Hip show, but I'm yet to be disappointed.
I'm sorry to say this but i am (TONIGHT'S SHOW WAS A STINKER
I HAVE SEEN THIS GREAT BAND 14 TIMES. THIS WAS THE FIFTH ON THIS TOUR AN MY FIRST US SHOW
THE 6HR DRIVE WAS NOT WOTH IT AT ALL I'M SORRY BUT THE SHOW VENUE. ENERGY FROM BAND. i know there has been some illness with the band..i'm sorry for getting down on u guys. but this show was totally mailed in AWFUL!

IT'S FUNNY HOW 4 OF THE 5 SHOWS I HAVE SEEN THIS TOUR GO TO THE TOP 5 OF MY HIP LIST
AND THIS ONE TOTALLY SHIT THE BED
Short show And the crowd was not that into it....wonder how many of these seats were casino freebies? Hamilton Place Oct 3 still my favourite show yet. Don't think I will see them again in a casino.....

Hi! This is Stacey, we met breifly at the Ellocottville Depot last night before the show! Glad to hear yougot to move closer. We were in row 5!
it was good to meet a few folks before the show..cheers
show was good , too short for me , venue was average at best , security was a farce
My daughter wanted to take some pics after the first song , headed for the front and did not return...she was happy as
a pig in shit , as she got a hanky and a set list
Hey Stace you posted more today than you have since you joined good work
Ditto on not seeing them again at a Casino
I am sure they were told by the elders of Seneca get it over with so they will go gamble what a joke

You must have been right in front of me then.
I could not stop laughing. 5 songs in and Fireworks comes on - and the 2 grandma's get up and leave.
Even Granny does not like Fireworks.
