the poster is now available here: http://www.thebirdmachine.com/ i'm sure this will sell out soon...

Expect a really great show. I saw them live this past summer at Detroit's Cityfest. It was my first time seeing them--I was blown away! Such an explosive sound.

That's what I was thinking... damn it all

I think the ushers did a great job. I don't know what some people were expecting. It's not like they were playing at a bar, or some small juke joint where the conditions are more lax. The ushers have to deal w/ 5000+ people--they did well maintaining control.

I saw a taper about 4 rows back on the mainfloor.

I think I was sitting in your aisle! Congratulations! What a great show. They need to come back really soon...

I was refreshing like a madman for pit seats. Got sec F4 row A...no complaints

nice stuff. my neighbor has your Explosions in the Sky print.

I haven't said anything about how I view them--just commenting on what they're capable of and what they've done.

I don't think shooting heroin vs. wearing a condom (for example) is a valid comparison. My point is: churches can and DO change (or 'reform') over time in response to the changing needs of it's congregation or various other reasons.

But you do change your rules as the kid grows in age and maturity, right? You tell a 5 year old that bedtime is 8pm, but would you really use that rule for a 15 year old?

sweet, thanks

happy b-day!

I'll have to skip so many classes this fall...ack!

I don't think it sold out. I remember seeing a ton of empty seats in the pavilion. We got our tickets for free!

Yesssssss.....finally! Also, Flaming Lips 10/1 at Clutch Cargo Of Montreal 10/9 at the Majestic Makes up for a lackluster summer.

yep. Also, Cheech & Chong's Up and Smoke and John Waters' Pink Flamingos.

There was a gamehendge 3/22/93! Maybe that's what you're thinking of? 2/22/03 was actually my 2nd show! And boy was it a doozy (doozie?). Best Tube I've ever heard.

Phish 02/22/03 ugh, why do bands break up?

Actually more insight into the statement: "Free Spoon shows next to a half pipe is something I don't imagine happening in Detroit", is what I was requesting. But nevermind. I don't know...it's in a forum created for non-wilco related music. I assumed this forum was for wilco shows only (since it's not specified as 'non-wilco'). *shrug, whatev

What's meant by that first statement? Missed spoon, saw ylt--it was awesome!! Talking about it here.

Haha, that's good stuff! I love David Cross. Thanks for sharing!

Nuclear War is the name of that Sun Ra song. They released 4 versions on vinyl/CD sometime in '02. I have that on my computer so expect a link soon. Sounds like you had quite an experience! I've been a fan for some years now; I expected a 'decent' show but they brought forth some serious shock and awe tactics on that stage!

Wish I could find a friggin' setlist...

I just saw ylt at the tastefest in Detroit. Nothing like a sweet-ass band playing a free concert! It was my first time seeing them--AMAZING show . I can't wait til they're in town again. Cheap Trick is playing tomorrow...might mosey on over to that show.
