Still looking for a decent pair for Chicago in case anyone has a lead.....thanks!

Set your price alert on StubHub. I scored level 200 for 9.99 a piece. They got down to 6.99.

I did that on their last tour to see Gary Clark Jr.!!

I scored GA Pit tickets for the show in Burgettstown, PA this morning. Hopefully work doesn't screw this up for me.

Got GA pit for the gorge. Tried again 20 minutes to see what available as a gauge of how well the show is selling. Pit still available and that's a small area in front of the stage. Not a good sign

On another note Walls just keeps getting better after repeated listens, especially Over and Find me

Glad I bought pre-sale for Chicago... only for the ticket prices to tank after the re-schedule

Yep. I picked up my tix for 9.99 on stubhub. Yikes.

Does anyone have a good KoL bootleg site?

I have two Pit tickets for KoL @ Jones Beach that I'm looking to get rid of for face. $217 for the pair. PM me if you have interest.

The more i listen to Waste a Moment the more i think it sounds very similar to Sex on Fire.

Been spinning WALLS a lot lately.  Really good album.

Working from home today and spinning vinyl...Walls is next. Great album!

I have tickets to the them in Mansfield in a few weeks.  Loved the back in the day but haven't really seen them live since they started playing arenas.  Kind of surprised how the shows are underselling though.  I know the band can be fussy at times and hope that they still play a solid set even if the ticket sales were underwhelming.

I've been disappointed in their performances since they began headlining.

i'd have to agree 100%.  Seems like they have no energy and just going through the motions.  Solid album though.

Me too.  I saw them once in Boston and thought they would blow the roof off the place.  They were one of those kick ass up and coming rock bands that I thought would take a page from PJ's play book.  Was very disappointed when they only played 90 minutes.  Haven't seen them since but hoping for at least 25 songs.

Other than PJ, 90-100 minute shows seems to be the norm. There's not too many bands like PJ anymore.

Yeah, I hear you.  I was looking at setlists from their recent European shows and looks like they often played 25-27 songs. Not expecting a pearl jam level show, but would be happy if they continued that trend for their US tour.  With 7 albums I think a 2 hour set isn't an unreasonable expectation.

"anymore" ? What bands have disappeared that played long sets?
