^I agree..Proust is one of the best of the year!

^I hope he does the Wildflower tour still though as I am more interested in that then the 40th anniversary shows!

I was at the NYC travel show. I asked him I know you are the expert on European travel but have you ever thought of doing some Asia shows. He said NO THAT IS WHY I AM A EUROPE EXPERT...literary half a year later he did a special on Iran.

^It's billed as a 40th anniversary tour so I don't see Wildflowers being really represented to much in this tour

^I'll check it out..I met him once however and he was an a-hole...

^My biggest complaint about Petty is the setlist don't change all tour!

Cool thanks

Very jealous! Great album!

Thanks. Any particular reason? I'm going for three nights if I go and it is super cheap! Airfare is $250 from here and an air bnb nice one is about $50 a night. Between the rum and cigars I'm pretty excited. I have found some pretty neat museums so I figure I don't have much to lose and want go before it becomes Americanized

DAMN...just looked at that voodoo fest setlist! 7 Chinese Brothers and West of the Fields Jealous!

Mills and Buck are great always super friendly!

Have you ever met your favorite musician. Did it make you like them more or less or no change? Anything memorable happen? Here are some of my musical idols I have met Jeff Tweedy met him three times. Collectively talked to him for at least 30 minutes and even helped him find his car once. Jay Farrar-Asked him for a picture he said no, asked for a request didn't say a word Bruce Springsteen-Book signing..had 10 seconds of his time but got my question in, some handshakes and a great picture Thom Yorke- It was awkward and he gave me an annoyed look still he signed my OK Computer cd rest of the

I hear ya tinnitus you can do it though! I have been to almost 1100 shows now and there are still 10 or so that can't be touched in my opinion!

If I had to pick one it was the First Time I saw REM. Was 15 and was listening to them since I was 9. My friends parents dropped us of at Madison Square Garden. It was unbelievable to finally hear them live. Every song made me excited with anticipation. Looking back even though it wasn't the best setlist of all the times I have seen them it was beyond memorable and opened a door to me to see live music.

Parquet Courts!

Nada surf version is good too but clash for the win

I was! Had the same name as here! This has been my screen name since 1995!!

That must have been an interesting conversation!

Louie from what I hear from friends that went too is you can have a "full" day schedule of educational activities that include interaction with locals done independently. You have to sign an affidavit that this was your purpose. I can easily be happy seeing museums and listening to jazz as cultural activities all day. From what I have heard only one person/group has been called out since 2010 in falsifying their affidavit and that was redbull for filming without a permit. It seems like the rules are fairly loose now for the educational/person to person qualifier for a visa.

Gosh the early bird tickets are within $25 of the Beacon Theater prices after fees..Solid sound is a solid deal!

Great deals direct flights from Newark, NJ..I see you still need one of 12 reasons to qualify for a visit and can't go strictly as a tourist. I have no problem filling up an itinerary for educational purposes but was wondering if anyone went and any pointers?

He is the oldest in the band by a few years Stipe was born in 1960 and Mills and Berry were in 1958
