Loved all the music, venue could improve for soft music!
by Meg on 5/13/24Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - DenverThe musicians (The Weather Station as opener, Belle & Sebastian as headliner) were absolutely phenomenal and wonderful. I have zero complaints about them and their performances. They are shining stars and they make me so happy. However, it was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING that the venue did not lower lights and increase sound for the opener's performance. The Weather Station is normally a band with maybe 6 people at least, and they had to do an acoustic set instead with just 2 people, the singer and her guitar and another guitar player. Once again, their performance was top-notch. But the venue should have lowered the ALL lights significantly once they took the stage, which they massively failed to do even after she asked for it. Then a bunch of people were talking and having loud conversation during her quiet and beautiful set. Where was the venue to encourage people to pipe down? And what is wrong with people in Denver showing such massive disrespect to this amazing singer/songwriter??? The Weather Station is one of the best bands around with some of the greatest songs, and the lead singer/songwriter has the most beautiful voice around. I wish the venue had treated them the way they treated the headliner. Otherwise, all the staff at the venue--bartenders, greeters, id checkers, coat-checker, ticket checkers, guards, etc,-- were totally sweet and kind and wonderful. I'm not sure where the blame lies on the venue not doing enough for the opener, but surely it is not with all the wonderful service industry and security workers at their venue. Thank you to them all and to the performers. Listen to The Weather Station!!! You won't regret it.
