They Might Be Giants
Flood Zone in Richmond, VA
February 18, 1995 at 8:30 PM
Fan Recaps and Comments:
Harriet McLeod, Richmond Times-Dispatch (Feb. 23, 1995):
- When clubs like the Flood Zone say, "Doors open at 8:30," that has typically translated to "If you have nothing better to do, come at 8:30 and stand around an empty hall. The show won't start until 11."
- Not anymore. Not at the Flood Zone, at least.
- Some 30 to 40 concertgoers showed up at the Flood Zone between 10:30 and 11 p.m. Saturday to hear They Might Be Giants and found they'd missed the entire show. The opening band had started at 8:15, the headliner at 9:15, and by 11 the door guys were sweepin' 'em out.
- Most of the tardy ticketholders had been fooled by an erroneous WVGO (106.5 FM) radio DJ who announced over the air at 8:30 p.m. that the Giants would take the stage at 11. Don't believe everything you hear.
- Fliers and tickets were printed with show starting times. Radio ads were supposed to say "early show." Tickets for They Might Be Giants read, "Door, 7:30 p.m. Show, 8:30 p.m."
