I’m totally stoked. I’ve never seen them. I kicked myself in the ass when they were here on the Hell Freezes Over tour, and I told myself that no matter what I was not going to miss them again. I’m a big fan from way back in the day. Yeah, I’m an old fart. 😃 I really like Long Road Out of Eden, too. Tuesday, September 9. Is anyone else going? ---

I saw them back in '96. It was a really great show and even twelve years ago the dudes had mellowed and had a really great time together on the stage. They’ll probably start with Hotel California to get it out of the way. Enjoy! ---

I was lucky enough to see them a few years ago in Charleston, WV on their _Farewell I_ tour. It was a great show. My third favorite concert after Rush and…Rush. 🙂 You’ll have a great time, I’m sure. How close are you going to be? ---

I thought football season wasn’t until fall. ---

[QUOTE=jtgain] I thought football season wasn’t until fall. [/QUOTE] I just knew someone was gonna do that… 😃 > [@Justin Credible](#): > > How close are you going to be? Not very. Upper level, but row 1, about midway between the stage and the back. I’m going to get some small binoculars, I think. Even though I’m sure there will be a JumboTron or whatever… ---

I saw them in London in 2000 (I think it was 2000, might have been 2001). In a freakish happenstance, some tickets were released the week before the show and I got tenth row center. They were incredible. And still way hot. ---

[/QUOTE] I’m jealous! 🙂 I’m going to call the radio station the week they give out front row tickets. When I win, I’ll sell these… yeah that’s the ticket! 😃
