Y'see I like that about JAMC
In my previous band we decided to never play longer than 30 minutes (inspired by them).
No one can really be bothered to watch any more than that.
And I fucking hate encores too.

You see, that's the most utter load of bollocks I've ever heard in my life.
I watched the cure play for 3 hours, it was amazing.

The Cure could carry on for ages for me.

I'm talking generally
There are some exceptions, largely depending on how much you love a band, or what genre you're seeing (three hour gigs are kind of required for space rock bands).
Some bands can carry off a longer gig - Pulp are mentioned up there, a great live band - but most bands could do with truncating their sets a bit.

Depends what you're doing
The thought of a Grateful Dead 12 hour gig bores me.

You get a creative band and I could watch.
