RE: Encores (was Orri Pall Dyrason)

["Bethany Keeley" <blk4 at calvin_edu>]

I was wondering that too, and I don't know what the history is,
but I do know that there are some artists who don't do them for
that reason: they're meaningless.  When I saw Jimmy Eat World (my
first mistake) it was so ridiculous.  They took a huge encore
break, like they weren't going to come back out and play their
hit that they hadn't played yet, and the guitar techs sit there
tuning their guitars, like anyone can hear the melodic
instruments anyway....
that concert was an experience.

babbling and frazzled,
Bethany
