[fhoda]

Is anyone goign to this show?  I'm really looking forward to seeing these guys live!!

[sweetcell]

yup, i've got a pair of tickets to this show... but the SMASHING PUMPKINS!!! are sorta top-of-mind at the moment.  i'll get excited about this show as soon as i've recouped from the pumpkins.

This band just fell from the face of the Earth, thanks to mediocre follow ups to The Man Who.

I suspect the $40 ticket price is keeping away those who would've gone on a lark, if it were $20 or $25.

Agreed...is the new LP any good? I won't touch it after those last 2 they did, unless I know it's a step up. My favorite is still their first record.

Agreed.  "All I Wanna Do Is Rock."  "U16 Girls."  "The Line is Fine."  Class songs.

Totally! After that, they watered down too much. I still like the Man Who just fine, but Good Feeling is their best. Anyone see them when they opened for Oasis at the Patriot Center?

well they did sell out back-to-back nights in nyc this coming weekend. and the ticket price is the same (well actually i think only $35). perhaps no longer enough travis fans in DC or we've all moved up to nyc    Im liking their new stuff, not as much as their other stuff, but id definitely not miss seeing them live. its always been a great show.

your dc bashing by way of nyc is growing a bit tiresome

i'll be there.

really looking forward to the show - i've wanted to see them since i heard "the man who" in '99. maybe i'm an all-weather fan, but i honestly have found something to like in all of their albums - even the much maligned "12 memories"; songs such as "somewhere else," "love will come through," "beautiful occupation," "peace the f*** out," and "walking down the hill," are solid britpop. and this, despite the fact that it was band-produced.

peace the fcuk out has got to be one of the worst songs ever written. that song is such a pansy tune.

It really is an awful song.  
 
 I'm not too fond of the new record (though it's better than last one), but we'll be there.
