The Wellmont Theater has gone through several transitions in it's long history. Up until the past year it had served as a multiplex movie theater. The ornate decorations that you see all around were covered with sheet rock and the upper level, where the picture was taken, was spilt into two separate theaters. The newly renovated Wellmont Theater was opened in October and we were only the 26th show to grace the stage.
Tickets did not sell as well as the other shows, but the floor level was still packed. The view from stage was amazing given the 1,000 person capacity of the balcony. The dome above the balcony was lit like a sunny day sky although it created a dead sound space directly below it.
I am gonna go out on a limb and call new jersey the home of the circle pit. By the end of our set, there were 3 separate circles that converged into a giant circle of rock.
Side note, Montclair has amazing Thai food.

Loved your performance in Montclair. Great energy from everyone made for a fun show.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you guys play again.
Tickets didn't sell because the wellmont, like stated, is a relatively new theater in less then city sized place. No one really cares about it, they'd just go to the NY show. Meaning, The audience was 70% locals, in this case high schoolers. Who love to party, and participate in skanking circles. And moshes.
ReplyDeleteOf the 200 something concerts i remember, this was definitely the most fun.
