    they moved on after Danny passed,
    theyll do it again without Big Man,
    We all know there is just no replacing him.

    Perghaps theyll have 'sit ins',
    cameos on sax ?

    They 5 local shows here are mostly Wednesdays.
    & Only 1 weekend ( Fri ) night show at MSG.

    Something tells me there might be an \add on in Newark, as well.
    Maybe more.

    If push comes to shove, I will be going by the " night 2 rule " and hope for the best.
    Like Pearl Jam the setlist will vary nightly,
    looking forward to seeing the boss again,
    as many as I can snag a ticket to.

    Is that backstreets site the same one as the bootleg site, or is that a different site?

    i dont think WTCOOO is a pro conservative song, but i do think its clearly an antiobama song. Its clear he's talking about obama and his administrations refusal to help and assist, or to listen to the people on any issue, including war and the economy. and that america needs to take care of its own, that instead of obama sending kids to die in wars, he needs to be worrying about helping people here in america who cant pay their rent and or mortgage and who cant find jobs etc... that an ideal america, the america he and we all need and want is one where we all look after each other.

    I don't know if it's a definite Anti-Obama song, but he's probably upset. The line about New Orleans is definitely about Bush's administration. I think the song is his anger toward America of the last 30 years, starting with Reagan's administration and up to today and the money that influences the US government.

    I was wondering if he would do this again. I had paperless tickets to 3 shows on the last tour and had no problems with it

    its a little scary buying paperless.

    this was at the top of my order for opening night in NJ

    You will not receive paper tickets for this event.

    IMPORTANT: At the time of entry, you must present the credit card used to purchase your tickets as well as a valid photo ID (such as a driver's license, state ID or passport). Your entire party must enter the venue at the same time. Tickets are non-transferable.

    so do i get a traditional ticket at the venue?
    this whole process is odd. i like to collect my ticketstubs, too .

    bummer, but trivial.

    :)


    enjoy the show(s) !

    Mine were at the Spectrum. They had a separate line for paperless and they scanned your credit card (never asked for my ID) and then gave you a print out with your seat location, etc. I like to keep my stubs too and the print out had all the same info as stubs so I kept those.

    The seats that were paperless tickets were great so that was the biggest reason I went ahead with it. One night I had 3 other people with me and the other nights I went solo. I can see where it might be a hassle if you have a group but for just myself it was easy.

    I know a lot of people are skeptical but I like to think it keeps tickets out of the hands of scalpers

    My dad tried online via several web browsers as did I, and got nowhere. I used the app and it timed out for GA floor, so I tried lower bowl (should have done this immediately fromt he get go). It froze when it was processing my order for lower bowl tix, said to contact them for the confirmation. I called my credit card company and they said a hold was placed for the tickets. Speaking with a Live Nation agent now...
