 btw pollard, did you buy tix for gbv's new year's show in chi-town?

Their newest release was a let down.

no, decided my last GBV shows will be the two in new york in early December, from what I have heard the Chicago tickets sold out fast

Me too - they were SO great when they opened for Radiohead @ Bull Run.
 
 Really...I'm not still bitter about my worst concert experience EVER.

I was at their 9:30 show...two years ago, geez. It was great. It was slow at first, but they picked up the pace and it ended really well.

yeah it was really good, other than their butchering of my favorite song of theirs -- she's the one

the 9:30 show was excellent...i'm feeling that bitterness too, grotty.  i had tix for the sunday bb/radiohead show at bull "let the water" run.  that still ranks as one of the saddest days of my life.

not only did i have tickets to both of those shows, but i also had tickets (and was in canada) for the toronto show last year that got postponed (and i couldn't make the reschedule).  that's 3 cancelled rh shows in 2 tours.  bad luck i guess... though i've still seen them 8 times.
 
 on top of the bull run thing in 01, i also had tickets to both LSP shows, but sold them as i decided i could really only afford to go to 3 shows... it's a good thing i went to atlanta.

despite the cancellation, the scene at bull run was the most fun i've had at a "gig" in YEARS!  come on, nude mud-sliding, how often do you get that???  
 
 you've got your sob story about not seeing radiohead/bb at bull run, no doubt, but on top of the gigs getting cancelled, i also had a $650 piece of equipment die after getting waterlogged...
 
 ... but who cares; i was able to ogle nude mud-sliders!!!

i didn't make it up in time to get to get in and see that.  what should have taken me <2hrs ended up taking me almost 5.  i was in line waiting to turn in when they announced on whfs that it had been cancelled.
