Starland Ballroom always does things that make the experience of going there annoying. For this show, they said that there would be 1 opening band; when in fact, there were 4!!! It was torture to have to listen to all them. They closed off the sitting areas (probably because it wasn't a sold out show), but it would be nice to be able to sit! Also, they didn't allow people to bring their drinks to the restroom or the dance floor. If you were with someone, it wasn't a problem to have people hold the drink for you, but if you were alone, you were screwed. I saw people purchase drinks for others & then couldn't bring them down to the floor (& they had problems contacting their friends to let them know). They did this because it was an all-ages show (so it was justified, but annoying - especially that you couldn't bring them to the restroom). I try to avoid Starland Ballroom unless there's a show I REALLY want to go to. Each time I go, they surprise me with something else to complain about - ha ha.
The Misfits did a GREAT job at keeping the crowd excited & entertained. They didn't have a singer, but Jerry did VERY well. After seeing them A TON of times over the years, I'm aware that there would just be 3 guys & that Jerry would be the only "real" member, so it's not surprising to me. I brought someone who has never seen them before & he liked the show a lot. It would be nice for them to find a new singer, even if it's just for the live shows. They were very gracious in staying afterwards to meet fans, sign autographs, & take pictures. The merchandise available was better than I expected it to be. They had new shirt designs, lots of stickers, & other items. The prices were VERY reasonable too!
