  another Stateside honor: the U.S. production of the DEMON DAYS LIVE tribute concerts.
 
 Confirmed for April 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater, DEMON DAYS LIVE will feature the guest musicians from GORILLAZ' worldwide multi-million-seller
 Demon Days recreating "Feel Good Inc.," "DARE" and the album's other classics live onstage.
 
 The previous UK staging of DEMON DAYS LIVE, which took place November 1st through 5th at the Manchester Opera House, sold out instantly and moved SPIN magazine
 to comment "the group is reinventing the way that artists stage concerts."
 
 Confirmed guest performers joining Demon Days producer/Gorillaz collaborator Damon Albarn in bringing each and every track to life will include De La Soul,
 Ike Turner, Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde, Neneh Cherry, Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder, UK rapper Roots Manuva, with others to be announced.
 
 Tickets for DEMON DAYS LIVE will go on sale Friday March 10 at 11 a.m. EST through Ticketmaster.
 
 DEMON DAYS LIVE is not to be confused with the unprecedented live holographic tour the Gorillaz team and animation house Passion Pictures are currently
 producing for 2007-2008. The live Gorillaz shows will be a unique cross between live performance and a theme park experience, with the band fully present
 onstage, rendered in 3 eye-popping dimensions. Crucially, the show will evolve over the life of the tour, like any live performance, will feature stellar
 guests from Demon Days, and will ultimately bring the unique visual identity created by Jamie Hewlett to a live audience.

Now is this the live band, or the cartoons on a screen in front of the live band? The latter is stupid, so I'm hoping for the former.

They are likely true, but there is nothing official on the site yet. Tomorrow is the big announcement day:  http://www.pearljam.com/
 
 Join the ten club. It's ~ $10.00. Even if your number will now be high - your tix will still be much better than what you can get through traditional means. I believe you can even still join/update & be eligible for this tour:
  http://www.pearljam.com/goods/
 REGISTER & Then select Membership under Goods.
 
 I realize that PJ is not cool with most of the indie kids, but if you've ever liked you should check them out. I've seen them in the early 90's & many times since. And they just keep getting better. Their live shows are some of the best concert experiences you can have.

If I thought it'd do anything but move me up a row or two, I probably would. Nissan in 2003, I still got seats in the 100s section.

OK, I joined because you told me to. I still don't think it's going to do much for me. Will I be able to know what seats I'm getting before I buy them?

[kosmo vinyl]

the ten club is now $20 as I just renewed myself through 6/07, i would have been crying buckets to have let it lapse at this point...

no... but the presales last for a couple days at least so there is no need to be in front of the computer refreshing like mad when tickets go on sale to the public.

Yeah, you got like front row seats to much of the Canadian tour, if I remember correctly? Good stuff.

I really think it will help. BUT - you won't know until you pick them up. If I was joining today - I'd also try my luck during regular on-sale. Then devise some type of plan to use the better option.
 
 For some of the large metro areas - you'll be lucky to even get tix through TM. So at least 10C tix will get you in. The crowd in the 10C section is almost always better too.
 
 Also consider travelling to some lesser populated city to see them. There's only ~350,000 10C members worldwide. You'll be amazed at what seats your number can get you somewhere down south.

you also get a huge break on all of the BS charges associated with your typical show.  it definitely helps to get the tenclub number going and your seats will be better than they would be otherwise.  it probably pays for itself if you get a pair to one show.

I had a Kosmo-esque number & did let it lapse.
 
 By the time I re-joined - they'd gone all electronic & had no record of the old paper trail. So I'm now in the upper 100,000s      
 
 I'm working on my routine now for my big audition to be Kosmo's PJ buddy.
