SYW Tour....need help with pre-concert music

[Greggy_D]

I have been going absolutely nuts trying to find out exactly what band FM played on the PA before the concert started (as people made their way to their seats 2 hours prior to showtime) during the SYW tour. I assume it was standard throughout the whole tour since it was the same for me during Grand Rapids 2003, Vegas 2003, and Detroit 2004.

It was a very haunting instrumental band and I would love to know who it is so I can buy a copy of the album they were playing.

Does anyone have any idea who it was? Many thanks if you know!!!

It's the one that sounds like Albatross, right? Don't know the song or band.

It wasn't bluesy at all. It had a very slow, methodical muted guitar. Hard to describe. I should have asked the guys at the soundboard back on June 14th, 2003!! I wouldn't be racking my brain to come up with the answer!

A comparable band is "Explosions in the Sky", who worked on the Friday Night Lights soundtrack. They are close, but it's definitely not them.

Thanks for the welcome!

All I can ever remember from preconcert music are the crickets. I <3 them.

It's pretty evident on the Greenville show... Don't know what it is, but it's got somewhat of a hum to it...and sounds like maybe violins?? along with the radda tat tat of the dums. And the bass tone seems to be running through it quite heavy, almost midevil sounding to me.

[Greggy_D]

Yes....that's it. Just hoping ANYONE knows who it is.

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was something Mick and Lindsey did while killing time.
