Bad ending to a Good Show from a disappointed fan.
by MrTRockNRoll on 12/10/10B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 3 out of 5I attended the Marshall Tucker Show at BB's that night. I have been a fan since 1973. The show was very good.What really left a sour taste in my mouth was that the band played for about an hour and twenty minutes. When the set was over and they walked off stage we barely got to cheer them for their terrific performance. Within seconds the PA at BB's began to play some weird rap song and no encore from the band. I spoke to the guys working the soundboard and they told me that it was not the Management at BB"s that dictated the end of the show but it was Doug Gray the Lead singer who called the shots. This was also told to me by Marshall Tuckers sound board guy. I asked him if when the band plays in their home state do they do an Encore he told me that they always do. Being the last date of 2010 for the guys I guess that they must have been tired or something. According to the management at BB's they could have played as long as they liked. It was not only the fact that they felt that the crowd did not deserve an Encore that upset me but that they did not even give us a chance to cheer for them. I do feel that not doing an encore is a slight against the fans from the NY city area. Also I was not the only one who attended who felt this way. When I do visit South Carolina I will be looking up Gary for that Drink he said he would buy for all the fans who attended, he definitely owes NY one. Bad ending to a Good Show from a disappointed fan.
