Amused came 5 years after MLOR. I think the proper comparison is KAOS and MLOR as they came out within weeks of each other and the tours were on the road at the same time. Roger fucked KAOS up with that 80's sounding production (he admitted as much) and the concept was too goofy to really be taken seriously. The tour however was another thing entirely, goofy concept or not, the show really worked as a thematic piece integrating the Floyd stuff with the KAOS album and I would still put it in the top 10 of shows I ever saw. It's easy to see how the public sided with Gilmour, he had the name

Crossing fingers for philly

Don't get me wrong, I like Amused to Death but I think it's a little wordy and a little overlong. Radio KAOS tour was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. Too bad it got overshadowed by the ersatz Pink Floyd tour in '87.

Pretty reliable site. Scroll down a little: http://www.pinkfloydz.com/

I think he kinda lost his creative spark. Amused to Death had good parts to but wasn't great. He also really can't sing anymore either which is a little more tolerable in a live environment with pyro and visual stimulation than on a studio record. I, for one, am really looking forward to this. It should definitely be a spectacle.

Full details to be announced Monday at 2pm. Looks like 50 Dates in North America Sept to Dec with Europe in 2011. This should be cool.

Never got why this gets overlooked compared to Casino Queen and Box Full Of Letter.

Indeed. That gets me thinking, they would nail a cover of It Makes No Difference.

F me, It's Just That Simple. Where the hell was this Saturday?

No spoilers please

yup ahh, thats a little better

Agreed, acoustic set is the better spot for it.

Came up from Philly with a friend who's kind of a Wilco Newbie but really digs them. Played night 2 of the residency on the way up and when Dreamer came on, I said I'd bust a nut if the played that tonight. DID NOT expect that. All the Being There songs in these sets are a huge treat as was the 6 songs from Summerteeth last night. After Always in Love>Candyfloss, Jeff said something like, "hope you enjoyed that Summerteeth Rock Block." These guys just to continue to deliver on a level I'm not sure any band can duplicate right now. One small complaint/suggestion; Deeper Down needs to

Very cool venue. Decided at 4 yesterday afternoon to make the drive from Philly after I saw TM posted some more tickets. Absolutely exhausted, not sure I have the energy for 2 more shows, these guys are incredible going for 3 hours like they do. Highlights for me were the ooh/aahs of Summerteeth into the drum opening of Misunderstood, the new arrangement of Spiders, Not for The Season, and Nels fucking up You Never Know and the big kick Jeff and John got out of it. That second Big Star cover with John and Pat taking lead vox was awesome as well.

Yeah, the pre-drums is great there, i love the crowd reaction when they go into Dark Star. Dark Star was obviously a perfect song to do with Branford in the fold. I have never been much of fan of drums/space, for me it's never been interesting enough to warrant 20 minutes of every show dedicated to it, but that 3/29 space with Branford is pretty spooky. Love your wedding story. I have a major problem here; I have tickets to Wilco for the next 2 saturdays on what may be one of their coolest tours ever and I can't stop listening to the dead. I think I just have to force myself to get into

A "may we dance with your dates" type advenure? What are we talking here. This sounds like the spot.

Cool, thanks

Thanks, I see that on the map.

Cool, thanks. Am looking at a satellite view of the area and there are restaurants noted but it's hard to tell what good and what's not.

Thanks. These places easy to find I assume? Just park and they're up an down the street?

Coming up from Philly and wondering if there's any good place to get a beer pre-show near the venue? I think it's supposed to be 80 on Saturday so I nice outdoor place would be great. Anyone?

I think I know what my drive home music will be today. Forgot to mention in the 1st post; I don't really have a favorite dead tune but that 3/29/90 Eyes may be my favorite thing of theirs.

Huge fan of 3/29/90. Been on GD/Branford kick in the last week listening to 3/29/90, 12/31/90 and 9/10/91 at MSG and I have to say that I think 9/10/91 is the best of them all. First, it has Branford for the whole show for the first time and a Standing on the Moon that just blows me away, Branford adds so much to that song. There's a real nice GEMS Amdig matrix on etree ID 98132. Set I Shakedown C.C.

How long was the intermission?

I don't know what to expect. I haven't been there in a long time but I don't remember it having a real big scalping scene. If you remember the tower show in Feb of '08, that show had ridiculous prices, north of $175 leading up to the show but I heard stories of people getting tix for face out in front. I wouldn't expect to get face for this show but who knows. Personally, I'd wait until a week before the show and the lock up at the best price I could get.
