Do bands still do pretend encores?

[krink]

Some bands need a lot of lovin' and some bands don't

i was gonna say that

The best thing about planned encores is when nobody shouts for one at the end of the set and the band have to come back on anyway. sham 69 in september, most people were too pissed to shout so when they came back to do a couple of extras it did feel a bit awkward

I have no intention of stopping going to gigs or leaving before the band has long left the stage and the house lights are up.

Don't moan about them doing encores then.

You are Andrew Ridgeley and I claim my 5 pounds.

I read that as "You are Andrew Eldritch" for some reason...

I'll moan if I want to. I already said I don't like encores.

When I saw Earth at Islington Mill, at the end of the set Dylan said "Do you want us to go off for a minute and come back on or shall we just play the last one now?"

Everyone agreed it would be better to just play it.

See that's the way to do it

The two are so similar so its easy to confuse them tbh.

Went and saw Springsteen once ......it was enough .....4 hours of seemingly the same song over and over , there may have been several encores.... I dunno.....

I wanted to die

"Hey now hey now now" does have a Wham-esque ring to it, now you mention it.

The Fall did a great one in Falmouth earlier this year: came back on after the house had turned the PA off and played a version of White Lightning that was almost totally inaudible. That was the last song of a tour that had been a glorious shambles from start to finish. It was perfect.

The Magic Numbers did exactly that when we saw them near here on their recent tour. No-one complained at all
