An Encore is the act of a band coming back out on stage to perform one last song after they’ve already finished the show. This is done out of the reaction from the fans who cheer and refuse to leave the venue until the band comes back out. An encore is basically one last free bonus song for the fans. It’s a reward to the fans for being so great and so energetic, and it’s a testament to the band for rocking their hearts out.
However real encores are dead and gone. They’ve been replaced with predictable clischéic encores, which are now part of the show. There is no such thing as a real encore anymore like there was back in the days of Woodstock. They are now part of the act, which degrades and puts a damper on the true definition of an encore. The lights don’t even turn on after the “band finishes” but before the fake “encore” (for Pete’s sake at least make the encore look real). The band would still come out for an encore even if the crowd didn’t make a peep, because its now part of the show.
An encore is supposed to be something that the band earns for being awesome and rocking the venue. But these fake/predictable/clichéic/trite encores ruin the spontaneity and integrity of what a true encore should be.
Shame on you people.
