Gurn Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The Roger Water's show WAS extremely good sound. No echoe No feedback No blown speakers (unlike at Roger's show in the hockey rink where it took a full song for the sound guy to figure out one of the drivers on the top right had blown out) special effect sound was correct, except for the "One Of My Turns" bit where the hooker walks into the bathroom, the depth of the sound was a bit off. Years a go I saw a few concerts in BC Place and it was bad,bad sound but not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The sound for Rogers Waters was extremely good. They definitely made a lot of improvements with the acoustics. I saw Guns and Roses at BC place back in the day (92 or 93, I think) and the sound was horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Bruce Springsteen to join Paul McCartney at BC Place Vancouver station confirms The Boss will be on stage The rumour had been circulating for a while — actually, pretty much since Paul McCartney announced his BC Place concert in September — that Bruce Springsteen would likely be joining Macca at BC Place Sunday evening. But the hype machine went into overdrive Friday afternoon following a tweet by radio station CKNW. “Just confirmed. Bruce Springsteen is flying in a day early to perform with Paul McCartney Sunday night at BC Place. Show’s already sold out,” the tweet said. Although CKNW did not originally divulge its sources — and phone calls to promoter Live Nation yielded no official confirmation — the station aired an interview clip with Vancouver legend Red Robinson at 3 p.m. Friday in which he said the rumour was true and that Springsteen was indeed flying to Vancouver ahead of schedule to join McCartney at BC Place. Springsteen and McCartney are good friends, and the two shared the stage at London’s Hyde Park in July. The gig became infamous after London police shut it down for running past curfew, prompting a promise from both that they would at some point reunite on stage to finish their set. (The two will also be performing at a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert on Dec. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.) Springsteen is performing at Rogers Arena Monday night. Tickets are still available at Ticketmaster. Sunday night’s concert, McCartney’s first in Vancouver since the Beatles played Empire Stadium in 1964, is sold out.

nucklehead Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 http://www.kamloopsn...iversong-guitar I posted about this guys laser cut adjustable neck guitars on here last summer when he was competing for entreprenuer of the year[which he won].He also came in second in a national competion sponsored by the Business Development Bank of Canada for innovation. If there was a search function I'd post this in it. Anyways to update this story, they will be making a delivery to Paul McCartney of his Riversong guitar and hope that he will play it. Cool story about I guy I know. Actually his grandmother was my first teacher. He's built the guitar, now entrepreneur Mike Miltimore hopes legendary rocker Paul McCartney will accept the musical gift. "That's what our goal is," Miltimore said Friday. "We built a guitar for Sir Paul, we've been in contact with his agent, and we're just waiting for the exact time to make the delivery." McCartney plays B.C. Place stadium on Sunday night - his first concert in the area in 50 years. There's speculation that Bruce Springsteen, who performs at nearby Rogers Arena the next night, will join him. With one of his laser-cut Riversong guitars ready to deliver to the former Beatle, Miltimore will make the trek to Vancouver on Sunday hoping McCartney will accept the gift and play a song with it. All he needs is word that the meeting is a go. "We've built him an absolutely gorgeous guitar, said Miltimore. Miltimore's won entrepreneur of the year for his Riversong guitars and came second runner up in the Business Development Bank of Canada's innovation award.

Raoul Duke Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yah they just released some extras, but most are "view obstructed". Meh, I'm happy! I got tickets. I can't bloody friggin wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Sometimes they sell seats BEHIND the stage. I see nothing wrong with that as you can still hear the music and BC Place got a huge screen anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hume Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 i think maybe sites like craigslist, StubHub, TicketNow, etc. have kinda rendered the word "sold-out" obsolete. if you want tickets to a decent sized concert, they're online and just as easy to get as from an official source.

jovocop55 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Sure if you want obstructed view seating or partial view seating. The seats that are left were released after the stage went up. Some tickets are usually released like this before a concert, doesn't mean they are good seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
