watch me fall Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Just on a whim, I checked Ticketmaster last night to see if there were still any decent seats available for the Atlanta show and there were! Oh man, is this some sort of sign that I should go??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh man, is this some sort of sign that I should go??? I think it is... they are such a great live act. Guaranteed good time, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think it is... they are such a great live act. Guaranteed good time, right?Oh definitely. I've seen them before. It's just the 3 hour drive there and back, solo, that I'm not too keen on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

watch me fall Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've almost convinced myself to go to the Atlanta show. You only live once, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Shackleford Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've almost convinced myself to go to the Atlanta show. You only live once, right? Do it. I've seen these guys on every tour since Monster, and this one was by far the best show I've seen. Not only are they playing the old stuff, they are having a good time and it shows. It helps that they've stripped down to a 5-piece (the 3 "real" members plus Rieflin and McCaughey), so they sound more like Green-era R.E.M. than the keyboard-heavy band that toured the last few times around. The National is a nice bonus as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Excellent show at Mann last night.... lots of good stuff too muh to mention...very cool Wolvers Lower Modest Mouse was locked in as well oh yeah, Eddie Vedder came out and traded vocals on Begin The Begin....

tangara Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 oh yeah, Eddie Vedder came out and traded vocals on Begin The Begin.... Shut. up. Oh, I'm so jell. That would have been awesome! I know I've heard PJ cover Begin the Begin before, but can't remember where... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Eddie Vedder...wha?? I'm still reeling from the PJ show on Monday night. How awesome! And I got tix to the Atlanta show. A friend who previously thought she'd be out of town will now be in town so we're all set. I'm too excited. Not sure how I'm supposed to work tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
