"Did no one take photos of Battles at the show?"

patience!

Any idea what time the last person to show up who got in was?

it was johnny hammersticks

They started cutting people off at 6ish... don't know what time those last people got in line but I got there at 3:30 and ended up in the front row. It was all pretty efficient, really. Thank god for that thing over the sidewalk.

I showed up at 5:30 & saw that most people had wristbands already, so I just left.

I was there around 2PM, there were about 70 people in front when I came. The wristbands were given at around 3:30-4PM, I guess. Also, a lot of schwag, like buttons, shirts, stickers, etc. But...in the end I made it to the front of the line? WHY? Because those 70-somewhat idiots actually listened to Fillmore's staff *GUYS, you got wristbands, now go. We can't you here for all this time, come back around 7.*

...Right. So those idiots LEFT, leaving the front to be bumrushed by myself and the rest of the people. In all honesty, who leaves their spot on line, especially when you came early and got the first spots?

That's just...ridiculous...but good for me and the rest of us. Fillmore was lacking an AC, but it was OK considering the show was absolutely spectacular. I met Bao, and he's fucking awesome. Everyone was drenched, the photographers, the fans, BATTLES...especially the drummer. It was definitely a hot and sweaty experience...but also a memorable one, thanks Gnarls Barkley...and MySpace.

I think the "idiots" are the ones who remained on line in the sweltering heat for a few extra unnecessary hours after getting a wristband that guarantees you admission.

Those "idiots" who left probably went somewhere with air conditioning & fluids before the start of the show. True they may have given up their spot in front of the stage, but at a place as small as Irving Plaza, who really cares?!

Sounded like a fun (albeit hot) show. Sorry I didn't get there in time. But I TOTES would have high-tailed it out of there once I got that wristband.

Anon 1:14PM, I can understand that, but I had someone hold my spot while I got 2 gallons of water and food. Everything was done quite well, also, there was shade at Irving Plaza. Plus, why stand in the front of the line if you're not going to be in front at the show?

cee-lo is a star, but the show was disappointing. the heat was a bit to blame, but so were the boring renditions of the tracks. check my concert review: http://musicblog.ugo.com/index.php/musicblog/more/gnarls_barkley_at_the_fillmore_at_irving_plaza_june_8_2008/

i had a sweet spot because i got in line at 1. its better to have friends there so you can go and get food and drinks and pee and stuff while still having a spot in line, thats what we did. i had the 13th wristband.

Wow 13th wristband thats great, you're special...

yeah i was like 5th in line and left after they gave me a wristband, im not an idiot, i had just been there for 3 hours before you jackass.

Sounds like everyone had a good time for the most part. I was never big on keeping fans standing out in long lines or waiting for hours to take the stage like the infamous axel rose does on a routine basis. Perhaps thats why his chinese democracy did so poorly, or was it that it simply lacked musical talent?
