Agreed.

If I wasn't feeling like arse today, I'd probably be a bit more forgiving.

Here's hoping you feel better soon. Spring is coming, the band is on tour -- this is no time to "feel like arse"!

That's the thing. It seems like a good strategy is to go to the cities with more than one show. I'm not worried about Meadowlands, there's no way they would do the same for 3 nights.

Absolutely. It just so happens that on this tour all of the shows that are within 4 hours by car are single shows -- even Atlanta. My "real" trips are to places getting 2 or 3 shows. Well, except for Foxborough. That was a spur of the moment purchase. A lot of things sound like a good idea after 1:00 AM!

Yeah - us too Terri. Paul and I are still moaning about the hotel situation there - or rather the lack of it

I'll be a little more enthusiastic as soon as this stomach flu is completely gone. I've been pretty much feeling like arse myself

Hey, there's always my bird-in-the-hand reservation at the Red Roof Inn! LOL I know I should be making some plans for that trip since accommodations are so limited, but it's hard to focus on it when there are so many trips that come first. <sigh> Maybe I'll just rent a car and sleep in it!

I hope you guys feel better soon. There's nothing like stomach flu to make you feel like death warmed over.

How long have you had it for? I just got it Saturday night. I was wicked sick through Sunday, feeling better yesterday, but still don't have an appetite.

In the first 5 shows, we've gotten 6 songs off the first two records, Richie singing Homebound Train, a TD song as a regular, the songs people like from the new record being played, no Sleep, and no Shout in Bad Rx. It hasn't been perfect, and last night was a step back, but perspective has to go both ways.

I actually prefer that. It's suspenseful!

Isn't it a bit of a stretch to say that NOBODY cares about the Lost Highway album??
Didn't it sell more copies than Bounce, the boxset and HAND?

Memory was a moderate hit ballad that the audience loves, the title track is something that Jon feels proud to have written, and WGIGO is a crowd pleaser. There's no denying that, no matter what opinion you may have of the song, if it's a crowd pleaser then it mean that A LOT of people care about it being played...
