Add me to the list of people that have been to the other 15 shows at the ACC and skipping these 2. The last 2 were dreadful.

I see your point but I sincerely hope that something wonderful happens and you regret missing out.

There's nothing that could happen that could make up for the $1000 spent on those 2 shows plus what it would cost to go tonight and/or tomorrow.

Trust me, I wont regret it.

Same. I'm of the minority that really liked the last two shows but only because the seats were too cheap for me to care. If I had paid full price and floor seats I might have a different opinion.

I look at it more like...it'll be the same set as the last two shows with a very very similar setlist and even if we get something somewhat rare it'll be played by Bobby and Phil with a singer that stands totally still. With the cost of getting there, getting back, the tickets themselves I'm just so meh on the whole idea. I hate that I'm missing shows but also hate that they're not offering anything different enough for the diehards to WANT to go.

Exactly. I didn't mind the last 2 shows in February but my friend and I were disappointed when we realized a few songs into show #2 that the set list was pretty much gonna be the same as the night before (and we had seats thru the fan club so that was a pricey re-run on night 2!) It kills me that tonight would've been my 10th concert, but at least I can hope that when my 10th does roll around, it'll feature the full band and a different (hopefully) set list.

I highlighted the above part like the above poster because that part is so true. When I went to Manchester, I got 'Garageland' and a couple of others I didn't expect/hadn't heard before. I thoroughly enjoyed that show because the 'band' seemed on form. Jon was on fire that night, Tico and Phil X did a very good job and the setlist was different to other shows.

Then came Slane and Hyde Park and apart from 'Loves The Only Rule' they were just basic shows. Enjoyable, but I left a bit 'meh' after them.

All it takes is one or two changes and we seem a bit more into it. The last thread proves that. The others hardly had any replies but with the odd change that a few of us like, we do reply and want to check them out.

But Toronto is spoiled. We've gotten a whole WHACK of rarities. Garageland, I get a Rush, Miss Fourth of July, Damned (Twice), Wild is the Wind, list goes on and on. I was really shocked the last two shows didn't get much.

LOL, I was thinking it was odd that almost all the posts on this page of the thread are from Hamilton peeps! Are you drowning your sorrows like I am tonight? About to embark on a red wine fuelled carb fest courtesy of Chicago Style pizza with the husband, lol. He just loves the food...I'm wishing I was at the show!

I'm drowning my sorrows emotionally haha but a little booze might help. I'm kind of wishing I caved and went.
