Opener DJs played the same set for 3 hours
by NE on 6/4/24The Grand (Boston) - BostonRating: 1 out of 5The event was billed as "Country Club at the Grand."We arrived at 10pm, door at 9:30, to find an opener DJ who was not listed on the bill. They proceeded to push play on a monotonous playlist of redlined remixes of not even beat-matched Top 40s songs from 15 years ago. This went on until about 11:45, at which point the actual opener came on, who turned out to be another DJ, with somehow even louder and worse remixes of the same songs. Even our earplugs couldn't save us. We must have heard Avicii's Levels twice and Nicki Minaj's Starships at least three times. This purgatory at 130dB continued to assault us, while barely conscious waitresses in uncomfortable looking leotards and string-lights adorned cowboy hats carried misspelt marquees bearing the words "Your a star Kirsten", and pictures of someone's presumably deceased grandfather was tiled at 20 feet across the wall to wall screens. The club's hours stated that it closed at 2am, so by 1am we decided to leave, having had enough of the same repeated playlist and no Shaboozey.
