did the 10/29 presale really sell out in 5 minutes (I checked around 4:10 and they were gone) or do you think they only released tix for the show that will probably have a lower demand? just curious...it seems odd one show would sell so fast when there are still tickets for the 30th left hours later.

I agree, it's odd.  I don't know what the deal is.

There was a mix-up, and the tickets went on sale at 1pm EST instead of 1pm PST.

Widespread Panic kicked out it's lead guitarist, George McConnell last night.
 
   :eek:  
 
 If anyone remembers, their original lead guitarist died of pancreatic cancer in '02 and was replaced by McConnell immediately.
 
 McConnell was a cheesey bar band hack that was friends with the band and completely brought the band down. Ticket sales plummetted and the band took a year hiatus to figure things out. The came back in 05 and McConnell sounded as bad as ever.
 
 Rumors of his departure only grew at the beginning of the tour when producer John Keane (Athens, GA.) was added as an "extra" guitar player and Sam Holt (Lead guitarist for Ga. band Outformation and WSP guitar tech) was brought on as even ANOTHER guitar player at various times throughout their concerts this tour.
 
 Last night's show in Louisville, KY there was no McConnell. Official announcement from the band coming.

On the lambchop website it now says that they will be backed by the Tosca Strings. They've been backing David Byrne on his past few tours. This show is going to be incredible

[Vas Deferens]

Lambchop will backed by the Tosca Strings QUARTET (four women). Tosca Strings is everyone (8 of them, I think)...

Lambchop said in an interview they were going to tour the US this time around with a full band; they usually do in Europe. The full version of Lambchop like 8-10 people.
 
 This is indeed gonna be a good one...

I saw Lambchop in full band mode ten years ago in Chapel Hill, and they were boring.
