Encore

September 21st, 2005

So last night at the Annie/Röyksopp show, Röyksopp disappointed me a tad when they didn’t play my favourite song to hear performed live, “So Easy”. It’s a deep bass thumping song that sort of spooks you and it’s fantastic to dance to. I thought they might play it as part of their encore, but they didn’t. As the hordes at the back of the room started piling out of the Opera House after the lights went up, I left feeling a little cheated.

Imagine my surprise (and anger) today when I learned that they had in fact played a SECOND encore, after the lights went up, and So Easy was part of that set! Grr!

Since nowadays most encores aren’t impromptu the way they once were, but in fact planned out with the rest of the setlist, what’s an appropriate length of time to wait before coming back on stage to belt out a few more tunes? And how many encores is too many (I’ve seen as many as three)?
