That's one strange-looking building there. I can see how the floorplan makes sense for basketball, but concerts? Either one half the audience is looking at the performers' backsides, or the band is facing the wall and looking at no one... (Or you install a rotating stage, so the band stares at a wall half the time.)

I have to think this vote counts as a bigger upset than the 2-3 seeding might even indicate. Given the enormous stature these sprawling 1994 Tweezers rightfully enjoy, to see even one of them fall in the first round is notable.

I grew up in Bangor and was at both the '93 and '94 shows.  Those 2 ends of the building on the side that go up are where the stands are so you're right, for the '94 show.  The band faces a wall and as you can tell by the picture, there's not much floor space from the stage to the wall.  But in '93, the stage was set up in the middle of the floor and faced the stands on the right hand side of the building.  It is the weirdest building you will ever see or be in.  They are actually in the process of building a new place right next to it that is scheduled to open in the fall of '13.

Oh, and how the fuck did this Tweezer lose out?

New Haven over Bangor

While this one was an upset, 12-02 is a rolling monster of jam funk. If Bangor had to lose at least it lost to New Haven.
