Forum MVP Rude Posted October 2, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 100 years ago, rich people wanted to endow money to the arts. Pabst did and this amazingly beautiful opera hall was built. This would never get built today. The detail inside was exquisite. It's just hard to imagine the work that went into that place. We just stared at the ceiling and the details all throughout the show. Gorgeous. As good as a theater gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted October 3, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Brewer Frederick Pabst had built Das Neue Deutsche Stadt-Theater (The New German City Theater) in 1890 as a conversion of the Nunnemacher Grand Opera House, but it was destroyed by fire in January 1895. Pabst ordered it rebuilt at once, and it reopened as The Pabst Theater later in 1895. The Pabst was designed by architect Otto Strack in the tradition of European opera houses and the German Renaissance Revival style. He made it one of the most fire-proof theaters of its day, as well as one of the most opulent. The Pabst played an important role in the German American culture of early 20th century Milwaukee, when the city was called "Deutsch Athen" (German Athens). It was home to the German theater company for many years, but later began including performances from other nationalities. The Pabst has undergone several renovations, the first of which was in 1928. In 1976, after a long decline, it was restored to its original style. In 1989, a colonnade was added to connect the theater to the Milwaukee Center. The latest renovations took place in 2000 after the theater's purchase by the Pabst Theater Foundation, started by Michael Cudahy; elevators were added, the ventilation system was modernized, more bathrooms were added, and some seats were replaced. The theater also added Cudahy’s Irish Pub to the lobby. As the Pabst Theater was designed after the best German Opera Houses, the acoustics are outstanding. Technological innovations Otto Strack employed many technological innovations when designing the theater, including one of the country's first fire curtains, all-electrical illumination, and a very early air conditioning system which employed fans and large amounts of ice. The theater also contained an electric organ, an innovation at that time. The theater is believed the first to employ a counterweight system for hoisting scenery, which was installed after World War I and remains in use today. It is the fourth-oldest continuously operating theater in the United States. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's the nicest place I've ever seen a concert. I've never been to any New York and European opera houses like the girlfriend has so my experience is limited. I think the thing that I liked the most was the 3 levels and how it went up more than back. The wavy curve of the seats and balcony was very unique. I just got home a few hours ago and am still glowing from this fantastic weekend! This is the 2nd time this year that Milwaukee has been the final stop of my tour and both times I was left with same amazing feeling. There was so much energy in that place. If someone wasn't dancing like no one was watching they would stand out. The percentage of people completely carefree was like nothing I've experienced. Young to old, everyone was just wild dancing. Balcony again as wild dancing as you will ever see. I don't think I'm exaggerating the energy. Eaton even said how "awesome" the crowd was and how they love to play there knowing how great the crowd is. In my 80 or so shows I've never heard him heap such praise on an audience. In March, Barraco made a point to thank the crowd for being so great and that's pretty rare. Milwaukee brings it. I won't miss another show there. And if you wonder how much fun the band had, they ended up having to restart St Stephen and Eaton goes up to the mic laughing and said something like let's try that again lol. The crowd hooted and hollered and it just added to the charm of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advisory Board Dr. Barry Posted October 3, 2016 Advisory Board Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 and a whole bunch of nice people gathered together to share good vibes with poetry girl and Joe and each other to celebrate her birthday before the show!!! It was a really great time. How lucky we are to have our community brought together by the band that plays the music we all love. Just back from Grand Rapids... Not a lot I can say except that it was the icing on this 3 show cake. Another excellent venue with wide open dance space and a crowd that was moving hard and pouring out energy to meet what was coming off the stage. 4/26/77, Passaic NJ. Filler was China-Rider.... And it will be VERY NICE to have Rob Barraco back! Dr. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted October 3, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Love hearing from you guys about the theater and the vibe! What's the capacity and was it sold out? Sounded just perfecto I don't believe it was sold out. I think capacity is around 1300. Some security guy said they were expecting around 1k people. They limited the lower level wristbands which kept the 1st level less crowded than it could have gotten. The pit was extremely small so there was no point trying to go in there as you wouldn't be able to move. I got an elevated row midway back with plenty of legroom to move and saved extra seats so I'd have plenty of room to groove. The security guy up near the stage was grooving and singing most of the show. He definitely loved his job Saturday. The ushers would attempt to clear the aisles, but as soon as they walked by, the person they asked to move would be right back to dancing in the aisle lol. By the end the ushers just gave up. The crowd was definitely about as rowdy as you get but they weren't talking. Chicago was just the opposite with a subdued crowd and lots of talkers. I think the Vic got a more modern PA finally, at least for the main speaker array, but the sound quality can't hold a candle to the Pabst. Jeff's guitar was so crystal clear all night.

Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted October 4, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 The candyman WAS in town! He lined my pockets with treats, sugary and sweet, and none that caused any decay. The exact opposite actually. Floating on a sugary high still !What a party! Wahooooo !!! The music was oh so good and ever so sweet. I had the time of my life, and my heart was filled. I guess it is usually west coast show time but I am SOOOO thankful DSO I got to celebrate my birthday doing what is my true passion- dancing and to Grateful Dead music nonetheless. Big energetic presents of gratitude and appreciation!!Back home, I am relishing my birthday- ever so close to the new moon of Saturday and I believe I have sown new beginnings and new life as it promises. At Last. Sing it, Etta!!Friday -I cast off some chaff from my life that prevented living in a more fully open heart space. Old, traumatic memories stick within us like glue if we don’t face the cards in our hand and say “ Thank you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, I love you.” to ourselves and others. http://blog.soulvana.com/mind/the-worlds-most-unusual-therapist Western tradition encourages us to hide our light and feel shame for our stumbles and falls. It is easier to keep us controlled with this downtrodden place. This personal identity says “ See how the world is basically evil and everyone is untrustworthy" Either we meet ourselves with fear, anger, guilt and shame or with compassion and humility. How does St Stephen meet it? I never want to have everything I need and have no place to fall. That requires a hell of a fucking lot!!!"He’s Gone" always was the song of mourning friends and loved ones gone. One of my soul themes I have shared. However, Friday He’s Gone was a fare thee well- where the death of some things was a blessing and good and a place of new birth. Dark spaces of fear have been sown with love and no longer are haunting me. Death allows a freedom.Before the show, the Eleven had reservations for dinner thanks to Rick, Joe and Barry. It was a true pleasure. The fishes multiplied and fed a few more, too!The venue was fantastic. Truly a beautiful space created to highlight the beauty of the arts and its artists and the font from which ideology springs. The dome centers around a glimmering shining chandelier like my heart shining this night in my Love and is encircled with the names of the old masters. I traveled to the highest point with Brian looking for the best space to dance and surveyed the lay of the land. The view was breathtaking, and at one point, a little to steep for dancing with abandonment! I strive to find that let go space and did due to the psychedelic musical moments moments where a vortex opens and the tinker toy came apart and reaffixed in a different way.It was amazing….. to be there with Joe, Nothing can change this love- yeah, yeah… to be surrounded by such fun loving friends and …to be dancing, loosening the yoke of life and feeling free. Hedonism has its place indeed, Cosmic, because who really really wants to go down the road feeling bad after all ???The ripple we make does make a difference…. are you making love or else expecting rain? I champion finding your bliss, well informed and balanced, of course. No need to suffer needlessly- sooner nor later !!1976 was the perfect year for this night.….. I love the truths presented in Grateful Dead songs. They might not be my truth, sometimes they are, but truth nonetheless about life.Jeff’s guitar was bright and fill the air. And rhythm all right in time. The band was a ball of lightning rolling along. The measured vocal control that Lisa belts out is truly a gift for all to hear and see. She brings it home!Tennessee Jed set the place a rocking. Cassidy- What you are and what you are meant to be. Take a look at what is in your hand. Do you follow your heart or follow conventions or expectations like Peggy O and miss the chance to live a dream of love? We are hard headed and don’t follow the advice of love. but take heart- there is always love calling your name. Be ready to give everything for anything you take. Vulnerable, that is how. Honest, open and willing. Love will find you. Looks Like Rain was powerful and beautifully delivered. and we took up the yoke as dancing really broke out in Brown eyed women. Supplication let me get my jazz steps out. Love that Funkytown groove. IT has been hot for 7 weeks weeks now- just one night of rain back home…. Music Never Stopped was everything it said it is. and Might as Well. hell yeah!!so some drink was spilled into the front row and my friend was reliving his last trip to Milwaukee and Easy to Slip. I went to the usher and asked for the custodian to mop. In the mean time I danced in that space to help dry it. The usher looked and looked and finally found him. I later tried twice to give him some tip which he wouldn’t take- second time telling me I should give it to the custodian. It took the dude a good 30 min to find him in the first place. I wish he had accepted it and given it all or a portion to the custodian for helping us out. .. and he denied my opportunity to express a gift of gratitude.Second set!! The first two were super fun - dancing in the aisle and then it got down to business. The Playing made its entrance, whirled and meandered and delved into drums and then almost came to a halt, languishing slowly like a ball about to drop. Then I hoped what my ears heard would bear fruit ….the Wheel came out bright and crisp. So I swear I saw and heard sung " You can’t fold ‘em” half way through as if speaking to answers that lay right there in your hand. At least not every time. you can’t just “ run away!!”. Dealt a hand- it is what it is until it isn’t anymore. Whether he did or not, doesn't matter really because it was my experience of the moment. This whole show was speaking to me and it was about to get even better. St Stephen… in and out of the garden of peace and love he goes… but with the wind and the rain. The answer is to love through the rain and own what the weather brings for therein lies true love and vulnerability and there are “ treasons'. Stephen dips into hell with the wishing well. The choice is made and can’t be undone. “It costs a lot to win and even more to lose” Seasons of treason require ownership to find the garden again and loving that creation because it is your truth. Your truths are contributions for others to look inside and discover and open their heart and enlighten. Real love for self and ability to love others begins. And can you answer? yes, I can……... “ I’m going to love you night and day…. You are going to know just how I feel… Love is real will not fade away”And that is the REAL crux of the biscuit for me.See you on down the road.

Brian NJ Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 this was a great show beautiful venue not as nice as the palace in Albany but still very nice. on the top top top balcony until mission all the space in the room then got overcrowded ended up on the floor all the way in the back nice flat area dancing into the aisle security said something but they were very cool and let me dance the night. great music great friends great dinner. thank you sweet Anna Marie for your hospitality and Barry!!! the Milwaukee heads are very cool too I actually stopped and thanked a few of them for knowing how to travel through a crowd at a dead show. they didn't just barge through like linebackers trying to get to wherever -very respectful.out of Chicago Milwaukee and Grand Rapids this was my favorite. Grand Rapids was good also but venue and crowed made Milwaukee the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
