The pair went on stage at about 8:45 pm and the show was over at 10:00 - which included a five to six minute break. <BR/><BR/>All I can assume is that they have made a conscious decision to play with the intensity that allows them to sound the way they sound and provide the show the kind of insane splash they want - but doing this - they know they sacrifice the length.<BR/><BR/>Even at an hour to an hour and twenty minutes - I don't know how they play they way they do. It's insane! <BR/><BR/>I guess this is just one of those things that fans will have to endure. It's not such a hardship though, to partake of such an event and still get home on a reasonable hour on a work night!Ryan Spauldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401858408851940636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29345538.post-41072252573293304902007-07-23T23:32:00.000-04:002007-07-23T23:32:00.000-04:00I love the stripes and have seen them five times. ...I love the stripes and have seen them five times. Along with the amazing vibe and energy for me, is a profound let down at the length of the show. Sixty minutes of music ?? Most bar bands will crank it out longer than that. It is a poor choice on there part to short change an audiance. B.b king plays longer sets and the guy is a hundred years old.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774019762367422000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29345538.post-60047145102243841162007-07-23T10:00:00.000-04:002007-07-23T10:00:00.000-04:00they are decent live..they pretty much machine gun...they are decent live..they pretty much machine gun it out..meaning before you even know it they will be 12+ songs in to their set. have fun!March2theSeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824771918572184205noreply@blogger.com
