I've seen them a few times and although they're definitely not my favourite band on disc, they're pretty great live imo.

Got tickets to see them and jay z the week before I head to saudi but I'm probably more psyched about jay z's support slot.

Yeah, refunds are being processed as we speak.

I don't get why the Media have to hype up the refund saga. Everyone knows that if a gig gets cancelled, you get refunded. It's just another story they like to report about extensively.

mucho!

I really like their albums, but was very surprised how great they are live (given their rather mellow music). Saw them first on the Twisted Logic tour because my son kept begging to go see them..... Have seen them 3 times since.

They usually trot to the other side of the venue (arena or ampitheater in this case) and do some acoustic songs, then trot back. This time, one of their acoustic selection was "Billy Jean". Put goose bumps on my skin - not because of the meaning, but because Chris Martin really isn't a good singer and didn't exactly hit the right keys.... but thought the gesture was HUGE and just love CM more for that....

ever since the memorial service, the media seems to grasp straws to have something - just anything to report on MJ...... time to give it a rest...

He's going to be pissed when he realises you were there.

Saw Southside Johnny last night on the Rockin the River cruise. We got extremely lucky and it stopped raining for almost 12 hours here in Jersey. The sun even came out

They played 2 sets on the boat that were awesome. It was such a small place that we got to stand 5 feet in front of the lead singer. It's the sort of in your face experience you don't get with Jovi or Bruce. Both sets were completely different with only 3 songs repeated - something that you never get with Bon Jovi.

So we had the Manhattan skyline, a gorgeous sunset, a bar right next to us, and 2 sets of live music. We even stopped at a Jersey diner on the way home for food. Who could ask for anything more?

I'm so jealous of the above that I can't see straight! LOL I so want to see Southside with the Jukes, and just haven't been able to work it out yet. He just doesn't come to the South. I've seen Southside with the big band and most of the Jukes with JBJ at the fan club show, but I want to see the package deal! Kathleen, unless the upcoming Jovi tour gets in the way, I'm gonna really try for that January date at BB King's!

I saw John Mellencamp last night, and he was terrific. He's touring with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, so he only has a little more than an hour. He's doing a really well thought out set -- some old songs (and not all hits either, and he's actually dropped the big hit Jack & Diane and the world hasn't come to an end ), some songs from his last album, a song he's just recorded for his next album, and even a few songs in the middle with just John and his acoustic guitar. I absolutely loved it, and I'm really hoping he won't skip the South on his next solo tour like he did last year.
