I won't have access to a computer until tomorrow night...think that'll pose a problem getting presale tickets?  [If so, I can have someone do it for me...]

Was your authority God?  Cuz he's kinda the highest authority.  Ask the Hebrew National people.

Is there a more natural show opener than Keep It Close to Me?

I have it on good authority that there is NO Christian rock...only Superdrag songs...pretty much limited to the first two albums and previous EP's. For me, "Head Trip in Every Key" is one of the 5 best albums of the 90's. It'll be fantastic to hear those songs again.  Their website mentions they will be holding an online survey to determine the set list. Just saying... [/b]
the first two albums? that is gonna rock. although i'll miss sam being there.

Yes, it's called "Senorita" (they opened the two Farewell to Sam shows back in 2002 with it).

Yes it was and God is voting for "Sugar" from "The Fabulous 8 Track Sounds" EP.

my disdain from Superdrag runs deep, because they bumped probably my one chance of ever seeing The Negro Problem live...

 Shocking.....
I'm waiting to hear Brian Walalce's opinion so I can find out whether Superdrag is irrelevant.

Let me sum it up for you:
 
 They were only relevant in the 90's.

They were the biggest music act on earth, at one point.

You could make the same case for a band like Dinosaur Jr. but their reunion shows were still great. I don't equate relevance with brilliance however. Superdrag's last (in 2002) ranks with their best work. And I still don't see why "bar band" is a bad thing. Seems every band I love has been given this label at some point. Then again, I love seing bands in bars.

Nothing wrong with being labeled a "bar band". I'll take a great bar band over a hundred obscurist, loopy, loved by pitchfork bands. The Hold Steady is a great "bar band". The Bottle Rockets were a great bar band, back in the 90's. In my opinion, Superdrag is a decent bar band, and that's being generous. If they rate higher for you, well good for them. Enjoy.

Just for clarification, I was summing up the vitriol that was going to come out of Brian's keyboard.
 
 That in no way reflects my opinions of Superdrag.
