    It's pretty common for Live Nation to do something like that for a brand new venue they are booking bands for. Bring in a huge name for a smaller venue to kick it off. I think they do it with every House of Blues opened up.

    They just announced that Chappelle is their first sold out show.... Glad I got my tickets on Friday!

    They are an amazing band. This song is maybe my favorite song of all time with an Oklahoma reference:



    I highly recommend checking them out.

  5. Default Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    Glad to see Jason Isbell and Head and the Heart both playing there, definitely two shows I'll hit up. Both of them put on really good shows, too.

  6. Default Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    Dave Chappelle has added a second show.

  7. Default Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    Ditto the Head and the Heart. Amazing band.

    Re: Chappelle - missed out on tickets before the sellout...got 3rd row center for the second show!

    Dang, Band of Horses and Local Natives, two of my favorite bands, are touring this fall and playing at Cains but not here. Hoping we can pick up at least one of them between now and then.

  10. Default Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    Both put on excellent shows. Hoping to see them again, but not against going to Cain's if not.

    I didn't realize Isbell was playing BOK a couple days before. He should be a massive show for the Criterion but I wonder if that will hurt ticket sales.

    I know who he is, but not a fan of country music, but if I were to see a big named band, I would prefer to see them in a smaller, more intimate setting than an arena show. I have seen Michael Buble four times. The first was at the Civic Center and it was easily the best. The next three were at the Ford Center, BOK in Tulsa and then The Peake a few years later.

    Oh I'm with you 100%. I just think the BOK show was announced first. I imagine everyone who is a fan went out and bought tickets for that show. I would have but I was traveling and missed the announcement. I would much rather see him in a smaller venue, especially with his style of music. Still should be a good crowd regardless.

    Got it. Again, I am not a fan, but I understand what you are saying. I once went to two Blue October shows, one in Tulsa and one in Dallas on the same leg of the tour and saw a lot of people at both shows. I could see massive fans going to both as they could see him in a big setting and then a setting 1/4 of the size.

    This is my plan. Saw him at Caines last year and that is probably the ideal venue. I was glad he is playing in Oklahoma again when the BOK show was announced but was lukewarm about such a large venue. I'm curious to compare his show at BOK v. the Criterion.

    widespread panic last night - sound was just about perfect. pot smoke haze was a little much, though... thought it was a non-smoking venue?

    Definitely less haze than when they play at the Brady. I thought the sound was much better than My Morning Jacket. Amazing show and good people watchin lol

    LOL not hard to have better sound than that MMJ show.

    I know. Was a shame since they are an awesome live band.

  20. Default Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    Indeed. One of the best I've ever seen live, and based on sheer quantity of shows seen, that's saying something.

    Parts of the language in the clip (and the entire show) are NSFW, but reminded me of this scene from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...

    Good show and crowd. I was concerned about turnout after WSP's show at the Zoo last June encountered "unforeseen circumstances" which usual means weak sales. A friend told me the drummer od'ed but I've never seen a news reports so it's a mystery. Don't know if it was capacity but doubt the fire marshal would have wanted much more humanity in the place. Are WSP panic shows ever nonsmoking? Glad to see no official people harshing anyone's mellow which I have at Allman Brothers shows at the Beacon in NYC. The place is industrial but the sound is good unlike the Events center and in the last month I haven't had to travel to see Greg Allman and WSP. Gives one hope. Keep on keepingon.

  25. Default Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    When was the last time you were at the events center? I've been to a couple of shows there since the remodel and the sound has been excellent. At least as good as any Criterion show I've been to; and much better than several.
