Live show ENCORES?
Just seen the live Cure gig at Bestival they done a 2 and a half hour set with 2 encores. So they went off once purporting to be finished then come back on again, play a few more songs, go off again saying bye then come back on again and do another few songs before actually saying bye for real....
I love this, personally I think of the whole encore thing is a bit unimaginative nowadays and been to plenty of gigs were they have done 1 or none but never 2. How many encores have you seen a live band do and when? |

Indie bands usually do this. The mainstream artists don't really bother with encores.

The most number of encores I've seen in a single show is four which was at a Mary Chapin Carpenter gig.

Pearl Jam at Hyde Park last year played 2 encores 4 songs each - which made it a 30 song set - not to shabby!!!!!

Not just Indie bands, just about every rock band I've seen in the last 30-odd years has done an encore.....

Robyn did two encores when I saw her last year. I've think she's the only artist I've seen do that, but pretty much everyone does at least one encore.

Madonna hasn't done encores in her concerts for years.

I've not been to a concert that hasn't had an encore.

Shakira's The Sun Comes Out World Tour has two encores.
Main concert ends with Ojos Asi, then she goes away for 10 minutes, comes back to perform Antes de las Seis and Hips Don't Lie, then another mini-break before closing with Waka Waka. |

Leona Lewis performed Bleeding Love as her encore during The Labyrinth tour.

prince will do 3 or 4 encores, maybe more. but he will play almost 4 hours at a gig, and then maybe do an aftershow and play another 2 to 3 hours, so the encores just give him and the band a break to get a drink and some energy back before giving a good performance to end with
