    Exactly, they made it seem like it did for the first two initial shows since I know a 98 member who got front row, but other than that, it doesn't matter. Had a friend who was using other accounts from friends that were from 98, 99, and a couple other years and got denied on every single one for the Alpine shows.

    Thankfully after much bitching and griping about the ticket policy, the WH went back to "checking the box" which allows members to opt out of being selected for lawn tickets. Last year they didn't have the option and tons of people got selected for lawn and then couldn't even sell the tickets because the show wasn't even sold out.

    Honestly, if you want to join just for tickets, it is not worth it (it's random as hell, and seniority really doesn't mean anything). I only stay because of some amazing friends I've made through there.

    I was able to buy a pair of Dave Matthews Band at Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto on May 28 tickets for my brother and his fiancé. I had some problems of getting tickets most likely because the demand was very high. It probably didn't help of the fact that P!nk also had a pre-sale for her Monday, December 2 show at the Air Canada Centre and the demand for her too is quite high. At one point I had tickets in Section 305, Row D and something went wrong and I lost them. I did however, end up getting Section 302, Row E.

    I got tickets for the next night in Scranton. You should check out the opening act. I am a big moe. fan. If you like ripping guitars, they might be for you.

    still a better chance than getting tix through TM or LiveNation or Whatever it is now.

    I go to one show a year now (made it to 8 in 1999), so I'm not too worried about not getting tix.

    I think they're pretty good. I only listened to one song so far (Timmy Tucker live) and judging by the length of their songs in concert, they made me think of bands like Dave Matthews Band, Phish and Widespread Panic as they are all known for their long extended jams. I don't know how many songs they will play since they may only play for 45 minutes. I saw Dave Matthews Band last year in the Winter at the Air Canada Centre and Jimmy Cliff was the opening act. He was really good. And DMB played for just over 3 hours. Show ended at 11:25 PM. I would love to go to the show, but I have always struggled to get great seats for Dave Matthews Band at Molson Amphitheatre, which is why I only bought two.

    I was 1st in line at my store but they didn't get a copy of the RSD vinyl. I was exchanging texts with someone just to see if they got one and he told me he got me one. I was beyond shocked. I didn't even ask him to get me one. I can't wait to get it and spin it.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    So the band has figured out a way to make Rooftop even more epic. They've added this funky awesome breakdown section in the middle, and I'm loving it!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l1wO0GI3bQ

    Is it Jones Beach day(s) yet?! :D

    From Stefan's FB: "At least from the stage, this years production is intense to say the least. Progressive, just like I like it!! The stage has a great flair yet is focused and strong. I can't wait to play under the stars on this set!
    @FilamentPro"


    Happy Tour Day :D:D

    Incredible start. Sets haven't been this good since '09/'10 (Caravan doesn't count)!! SPAC 2 is in early contention for show of the tour, to me--amazing set and double encore of Halloween!

    SO SO SO happy to see JTR and Joyride back. I hope they stay, they are 2 of my most wanted that I've never heard before! Awesome to see Recently, as well. Getting me pumped for the Jones Beach shows! I NEED to find a ride to PNC so I can go to that show-- I'll feel sick to my stomach staying home!

    Really liking the sets so far. I hope they keep this up, unlike previous years where they start off amazing and then just go back to the same predictable sets night after night.

    Just wow! I can't believe I have to wait a month for a show. Maybe I can sneak out to Holmdel next week?

    I'm trying to get out to Holmdel myself, but it looks less than promising right now. Hopefully something will come through!

    But goddamn these setlists!!! And from videos, they've been sounding just as amazing. If I could knock off JTR, Captain and Joyride this summer I would be so damn happy!
