Wow, it sounds like the LA show is in  a big place. At the Boston show you could have wandered in a few minutes 
before the band went on and squeezed your way up to the front (or stood a couple of yards back w/plenty of extra
room).

Yeah, The Wiltern is far bigger than the LA House of Blues.  It holds about 2,200 people with the balcony holding about half that.
It's long been one of my favorite places to see a band and has far better house sound than the HOB.  I've seen a lot of great bands
and great shows at The Wiltern over the past decade since they remodeled the place, from David Bowie and Metallica to Bauhaus, Jesus
And The Mary Chain and the final Nine Inch Nails show there just last year.

Unfortunately, I think Killing Joke way overestimated their drawing power especially considering the non-existent publicity this
show has been getting here.  If the show were happening right now with what the ticket sales appear to be, the place would be only
about 25% full.  Hopefully there will be a lot of walk-up attendees the night of the show.
