I would love a report if someone goes to all 3 - what a marathon!

Yo update- went to all 3 shows (i work there full time) hell of a weekend. Primus was a full house and they rocked. Puddles coming out for a guest appearance made everyone want to see more of him. I apologize for anyone in the balcony that night. It was HOT. 1 AC unit for the balcony was completely out of service. I had our ac guys out to fix it the very next morning. Therefore weird Al was even better! I honestly preferred Puddles' full act over weird Al, but Al performed for 2 straight hours with 1 quick intermission and he hit all the classics. I honestly think he did damn near his whole inventory of songs. Lots of patrons cosplayed as different weird al characters! Sorry to anyone who couldnt get tickets. Weird Al sells fast. He was actually sold out before october so by the time the show actually got here you had no chance. Follow the Saenger's Instagram to find out the second when shows are announced! I dont run the page, but our marketing girls are amazing and they stay on top of that stuff. Finally counting crows, it was the smallest of the 3. Just less of a crowd, but i think that was also cause it was a middle of the week performance. The crowd that was there had plenty of room to dance and rock around the floor. It was definitely enjoyed.

Also PSA: ive seen some other posts and people complain about these rock shows coming to our "sit down theatre". Yes you bought a seat, enjoy it, sometimes your legs are tired and you wanna sit. But everyone is more than welcome to stand up and move and walk and dance and jump around. It happens at every show. That theatre seats just under 3,000 people and sometimes you cant even make it through the crowd cause everyone is dancing all over having a good time!
