Thanks! I will send him an email...

So I know a few of you on here are from or have been to Australia. I am looking into visiting some of the following cities and am open to suggestions: Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns, Brisbane, Hobart, Ayers Rock, Perth, Auckland I am only there for 14 nights so was thinking 4 Sydney 4 Melbourne 3 Cairns 3 Brisbane Based on the other choices would you substitue any of these? Is Ayers Rock worth the trip? Should I save Auckland for another time? Is Hobart to far out of the way to visit? Is there anything to do in Perth? Any info would be great!

I firmly believe Bob Dylans Band puts on a good show and Bob not so much. I know how important he was to music but his live show does nothing for me. I have seen him 5 times now since 1997 and the only show I liked was the first one I saw. Why did I see him more than once? He always seems to tour with other groups I want to see...Tom Petty, Willie Nelson etc. I couldn't recognized some of the songs because his voice was so gravely. He switches up setlist which I give him credit for but other than that I think he should take it easy.

I have seen the Lips about 5 times. Each time it gets more ridiculous which I guess is their schtick. I wish though they would drop that stuff and play a rock show with just their instruments. All this technology leads them to never change their setlist. I woud love to see the Lips "Unplugged" Anyone else agree?

Yes! But it will be even cooler if they pick a song they haven't played in ages...really one from left field ala I Thought I Held You, Shouldn't Be Ashamed!

Ah Ben Lee! I have all his albums and have seen him in concert maybe 8 times? He is a very genuine person and has some great songs. He ususally will stick around after every show to chat with fans. I am looking forward to his new albums. Breathing Tornados is my favorite album of his!

NYC was almost sold out! Maybe other markets are soft. The new dates make me nervous because I am getting married in June so that whole month is off limits!

Im spending two days in each location..I know it is alot of driving. I am big on hiking but the finance isn't really so we might just do a short hike in Denali. We have a fairly loose schedule and will be going witht he flow! Thanks for the tips!

Paul it seems like you see ever Wilco show in existance?! How do you do it? How do you get the time off and money to do this if you don't mind me asking! Very curious!

I can attest to the fact that Elliott was bored by Radiohead as I met him at a radiohead concert. Well not really...I saw Elliott at the Field Day Concert in NJ in 03...after he was done and later in the night I spotted him with a group of people hanging out watching Radioheads set. Within a few minutes he was passed out or sleeping??? He did wake up towards the encore as I was on my way out. I said a few words to Elliott about liking the new songs...who knew that was the last time I will ever see him PS I was fortunate though as I got to see him 5 times in concert....I also met him one

Thanks for the pointers! I got some rafting in Denali lined up class 4 rapids...excited for that!

Who do they sound like? I guess I will check out some youtube clips. Any must hear songs?

Art Brut are a ton of fun live! It is hard not to smile when they are performing...I am in the other boat..I know Brut but no nothing about Hold Steady...shall I stick around an check them out?

I leave for Alaska on saturday and I can't wait! I will be spending a few days in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Denali. I plan on visiting the Artic Circle (Life goal of mine ) , Alaska State Fair, Earthquake Park, Pioneer Town, Portage Glacier, rafting in Denali etc. Anyone have an recommendations? Has anyone driven from Anchorage to Fairbanks (How long did that take)? Any other words of wisdom! Thanks!

Cool! Cain't wait for the inevitable shows in NJ!

I like Day Job and Until I Fall Away

Blur is right behind Wilco in my favorite bands. I own all the albums and the anniversary singles set. I have like 300 songs of theirs on my ipod. I have seen them 2 times in concert...without Graham though! I have also seen Gorillaz twice and Good the Bad. Damon is a top performer. Modern Life is my favorite of theirs! I can't wait to see them live again!
