i agree that lift your skinny fists is the best one overall. i love GYBE and am very excited by this news. it always amazed me that they got as big as they did. i don't know any other bands who write sprawling, morose 20-minute epics that have been accepted by the mainstream.
i saw the 2003 tour in baltimore and dc. they played a freemasonry temple in baltimore. black dice opened both shows. i don't recall the 930 show being sold out, but it was pretty packed.
no way are tickets going to be $30. maybe $15, $18 tops.
