Copeland Band • Page 39

I definitely understand Aaron's frustration. It's also not the fault of 99% of the crowd there who are courteous and paid to see them perform. If a couple assholes can get a reaction out of you, that's what they probably want. Maybe Aaron thinks if he addresses the assholes enough times, it will help future crowds behave better. We know Aaron already dislikes touring because of the grind of travel and being away from family, so he's already probably a little more sensitive than your average touring musician. I would hate to see them stop touring entirely because of a string of bad crowds.

 

For sure - I definitely want to ask him about it at the VIP Q and A today but may be too rude. I hope nobody pulls that shit tonight but even if they do - he should power through honestly. I think it's a disservice to the rest of the crowd to just stop playing a song because people are talking during the song

I've definitely talked with friends etc during a set (usually not full on conversations or anything). I may even talk during their set tonight. I'm taking a friend who knows zero things about them so if there's a lull I would definitely ask what they think and how they're liking it etc

Seems strange though that the crowds are so noisy to the point of them just stopping a song and moving on to the next

 

Of course I run late and miss the q and a and acoustic set pre show

I did get my goodies so can share the two new songs for those who wanted it. Anyone go to the VIP set? Curious what songs he played

 

Sorry bud.

Hit me up if you're here.

 

Ugh that sucks. Sorry

 

Haha you're here? I'm doing some work from the bar for a few minutes then running up for the set

How was the VIP session?

 

Nah. Wasn't VIP. I'm already upstairs waiting.

 

If you send me those VIP songs I will love you forever.

 

Yeah, VIP tracks would be bootyful

 

Yeah, I would truly appreciate those VIP songs.

 

Not to be that person, but the band specifically asked people not to share the songs and said they'd be available after the tour for streaming. *shrug*

 

Yeah obviously nothing's stopping anybody from sharing them but I think if someone really cares about the band they shouldn't share them.

 

If you ran late, maybe you missed the band asking not to share them out of respect for the VIP ticket holders on the remainder of the tour.

 

Tonight is the night, very excited

 

I thought of this afterwards, but when people scream out COFFEEEEE!!! please scream back at them, THIS ISNT STARBUCKS!!!

 

Ha will do.. I hate when people scream out songs like how do you not know the set is predetermined

 

Unless the band asks for requests, don't make requests... it literally never has worked

 

I've been to probably at least 100 shows and the only time I saw a band do a request was Modest Mouse. It was awful though because after they did one, people shouted every time.

I especially don't get calling out requests at arena shows that have a very specific stage production

 

I think I'm most excited for the eat sleep repeat part of the show tonight, no lie Ixora is my favorite but that one is really close and has meant a lot to me over the years. I can remember the first time I heard it in full and where I was driving and the effect it had on me.

 

Ironically, one of the only times I've seen a band actually do a request was last year seeing Copeland in Pittsburgh. These guys were yelling Love Affair the whole night and during the encore Aaron was like fine and he played like half of it solo.

Still annoys the shit out of me when people do that.
