If you could only see one show in L.A.?

I'm a high school history teacher from Fresno, CA, and unfortunately I am only going to be able to go to one show in Los Angeles for the Backspacer tour. Here's my question. If you could only see one show out of the four L.A. shows, which one would you choose? The first night because it's their first show in L.A. and the band will want to make a statement for the upcoming shows ahead? The second show because the band will be gearing up for their Austin City Limits performances? The third show because the band's fired up from coming back from Austin? Or the last show because they'll want to put an exclamation point on their four show stay? What do you guys think?

    If I was in your position, given the limited # of 10C tickets for those shows, I would try for #1. If you get it, great. If not, try for #2. I wouldn't try to be picky here.

    Hey- I thought I was the only Central Valley resident here...I'm in Clovis!

    Anyway- I can't go to the first show, but after that, I'm not being picky. I'll try for the second, and if that doesn't work, the third and then fourth. I thought that would increase my chances of getting one the best...

    I tend to think the last show is always going to be the best, but that isnt always the case. Plus your seat might be worse because more fan club people will attend that show.

    That won't matter at all here. All 4 of these shows will sell out the allotted number of fan club seats.

    If I was you I'd try for night #1 and if that fails night #2, etc. You have four chances at 10 club tickets. You should be able to secure one night since we are only allowed to buy one night each for these shows.
    8/29/00, 7/3/03, 5/24/06,6/28/08 & 6/30/08, 10/9/09,10/28/09, 10/30/09 & 10/31/09, 5/15/10, 5/17/10, 5/18/10, 5/20/10 & 5/21/10, 10/23/10 & 10/24/10, 9/3/11, 9/4/11, 9/11/11, 9/12/11, 9/23/11, 9/22/12, 9/30/12, 7/16/13, 7/19/13

    What if you get one show and try for a second? Will ten club give you a choice between the two or will the system not allow the second purchase entirely? I really want night 4 but Im thinking that will be the hardest to get and I'll end up with no tickets at all. hmmm???

    I seriously doubt it. I'm sure they will have it set up as when you have purchased one show, you will not be able to even get a "buy" button after it- kind of like how they do with the "only allowed to buy one" posters
