Anyone recently had any problems with getting gear inside for a Nickel Creek

show? Just wondering how good they've been about informing venues.

Thanks!

Caught 'em in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, no problems getting gear in. If you have a problem, ask for the tour manager - dang, I forget his name.

If you're gonna run up front, keep everything very low profile til the lights go down, otherwise you're likely to get booted to the back of the venue. They don't like people running up front blocking people's views. Though they usually play in small enough places that even the back of the venue sounds nice.

Good luck!

Thanks for the info....

keeping low-profile shouldn't be a problem with the MBHOs on a single schoeps shockmount

I think I'll use my bogan 3373 stand too.

I had no problems getting gear into their NorVA show (had problems with the tape, though). I'd recommend getting as close as possible, as every time they do an encore they do it acoustic at the lip of the stage, no amps/speakers at all.

How big was the place? I'm seeing them at a pretty big venue and If they play "unplugged", the people in the back wont be able to hear them. Plus its reserved seating so I'm as close as I can get anyways, 8th row.

hey rick, where you gonna see them at?

Rick · « **Reply #6 on:** August 27, 2003, 06:15:19 PM »

Palace of Fine Arts, SF....

The show was sold out, but I think they released some more seats and I picked up 8th row (only goes 20 rows back though) through ticketmaster.com

I thought you said it was Fresno.

Rick · « **Reply #10 on:** August 28, 2003, 11:01:23 AM »

Hanford is just south of Fresno

zhianosatch · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2003, 01:21:46 PM »

Thanks. I live in Fresno.

Schwilly had told me that it would be at the Fox Theater in Fresno... but there is one in Hanford!

Rick · « **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2003, 01:27:12 PM »

Not if I have a ride somehow. Maybe I'll ask to borrow a coche.

Sean Gallemore · « **Reply #17 on:** August 28, 2003, 05:20:03 PM »

fyi for those going to upcoming Nickel Creek shows...

So last night I went to the Nickel Creek show at the Palace of Fine Arts here in SF, and as soon as you walked in there was a sign, No Audio Recording!

This was a venue decision

If you read the taping policies of a lot of bands that allow taping, you will note that most will state that the band cannot override the venue policy.

Yeah, I kind of figured the people there would not like taping. So I came prepared..... I wasn't surprised.

Rick · « **Reply #23 on:** September 05, 2003, 12:20:25 PM »

Oh and their "unplugged" encore sucks for taping! Cool, but still sucks
