i agree that lift your skinny fists is the best one overall.  i love GYBE and am very excited by this news.  it always amazed me that they got as big as they did.  i don't know any other bands who write sprawling, morose 20-minute epics that have been accepted by the mainstream.
i saw the 2003 tour in baltimore and dc.  they played a freemasonry temple in baltimore.  black dice opened both shows.  i don't recall the 930 show being sold out, but it was pretty packed.
no way are tickets going to be $30.  maybe $15, $18 tops.
