Looks like i’ll be @ the MSG show…god i hope they can make it since it’s in the middle of the tour. [laugh]
Hoping I can catch the Glendale show. Haven’t seen them since the Van Hagar FUCK tour in '91 (great show, too).
Should be interesting to see how fast this tour sells out, and if they can make it through the whole tour w/o DLR and Eddie killng each other! It’s a real shame that Michael Anthony is out of the line-up; his back-up vocals were a huge part of those harmonies with Dave.
Eddie knows this is the only way to redeem VH’s image after that embarrasing Cherone album. Someone seriously needs to make a movie about this band.
i’m hoping they will add an ATL date. Their 81’ concert at the mid-south collesum in memphis was my second concert ever - i went with my dad. (the first being KISS - in 79 - also with my dad).
god only knows how much these tickets will be. but i have to say if they pull a Police price ($230) i will not go and just download a few shows on DIME.
