Anyone going to see them? I got my tix for the Gorge show and am contemplating Vancouver, BC (GM Place!) and Portland. I saw them last summer at White River and they totally kicked ass. I can't ever remember them doing back to back tours like this.

    I saw them last year at the Hollywood Bowl. Great 3 hour show. They are coming to the Nokia Theatre(LA) which is a small venue. I got good, not great seats. Better that I had at the Hollywood Bowl.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Ah...that's about when I started getting back into them again. I said that I didn't remember them doing back to back tours - not to say that they didn't....lol... :)


    Pearl Jam and Rush....the 2 bands I always try to see.

    They ALWAYS kick ass! I only wish they wouldn't promote the S&A album at the expense of some of their classics.

    Is Geddy Lee going to be there? If so, than no. Rush is the most overrated band ever. And I much rather listen to NSync's No Strings Attached than anything by that horrible band. No other band makes me cringe at the simple thought of hearing them.
    You are just a negative mindless pud.

    You sound pretty dead set against them but, I'm telling you, give them a try (LIVE). You just might see the light :p.

    Either that, or stick with your NSync album!
