    it was called grungereport.net until just recently. the guy who owns it also posts on here, his name is scottstappsucks.

    there's a poster that appeared out of nowhere on that site (a guy called PJ) that commented back in May that the big announcement coming would be July 8th, and there would be a one week countdown to that date. Low and behold, he was right on the money, so now Brett (scottstappsucks) is taking everything he says as gospel.

    Chicago has hosted quite a few "special" shows over the years (PJ20-sorta, Lolla, The Vic, Soldier Field, etc.).

    Right in my own backyard and I feel fortunate enough to have experienced a few of them.

    Hope beyond hope that this one lives up to the hype and tops them all!!

    So pumped that we are finally within striking distance of this thing. When the calendar flipped to July 1, my travel partners and I were like .... SHIT JUST GOT REAL!

    Thanks for the info. I really hope he is wrong about there being a song from Uke Songs on the new album....

    If it's going to be "special", throw the "rules" out the door. And I don't know if this is counting as a "Chicago" show seeing as they are expecting a national crowd, given the travel packages and all.

    But...

    In regards to Ed checking previous setlists in a town and trying to show the natives something they haven't seen before, they opened with Hard to Imagine at Chicago 2 in '09.

    Eddie: I don't know whose idea it was but it was turned down.

    I get goosebumps on top of goosebumps thinking of that marvelous piano intro before the place goes apeshit. This will be the best thing to happen at Wrigley in 100+ years!!!!
    It's amazing what you hear when you take time to listen.

    God I wish I was in GA for this show! It would be so killer. I'll have to settle for my reserved field/lower bowl tickets, fuck it, it'll be one for the books no matter where I am standing! I can't wait!
    40+ shows, it is never enough!

    I hope they play all covers and backspacer for all you pricks.
    Then they just drop their instruments and say, "Thanks, goodnight"
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
