it looks like the band are playing smaller venues than usual when they visit the 'States for the US leg of the tour. why are they playing these types of venues here, anyone know?

Orpheum Theatre: 2763
Bank of America Boston Pavillion: 5000
House of Blues (Boston): 2300
the house of blues is comparable to the orpheum size-wise, so that's a good thing. for some reason i felt that the house of blues was way smaller.
that gig a few years back in the pavillion was beyond depressing, way too big with too few bodies :/
well, good for them i suppose.

| I don't know, but I actually like it better that way. The Depot where they are playing in SLC holds 1,200 I think. I like the more intimate settings with the band. |

While I wish more people in the US were familiar with Travis I do like that they are playing smaller venues because I prefer the intimate setting.

| Yes I agree, you are lucky getting them in smaller venues. Always better! |

Me too - went to see Oasis (got a ticket from a friend) in a a big stadion (for us - here is everything small) like 16 thousend people -
it was very enegetic -but very unpersonal - very anonymous...For me just fine - since I don't really care about Oasis - but if it was Travis I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Dancing was -because of the big crowd almost impossible - and without the screen I would have missed the coolest parts...But then again - I don't wanna watch them on the screen otherwise I can watch them at home on tv...
so, I really don't like the big venues - I'm perfectly happy with the small ones.
More concerts instead of bigger venues! |

thanks for the responses. just to be clear, i wasn't having a go at the band's ability to fill a hall. i was just surprised at the boston gig locale. i'm over it now though, but yes it's true...just like my wife says to me all the time:
smaller is better.
