I was able to score some tickets to the warm-up show...so we road-tripped it down and are third in line to get in for the GA show. wish us luck in getting and holding a good spot!

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I contemplated doing it from here in Atlanta, but thought against it as I couldn't get out of work in time. Let us know how it goes.

    OMG...the show was fucking awesome! there were about 500 or so people there. we were right at the fucking barricade in the middle! jack and meg were about five feet from us.

    here's some of the songs they played (not in order). i can't remember any other ones at the moment...i can't fucking hear myself think...just have ringing in my ears.

    death letter
    do
    apple blossom
    effect and cause (NEW)
    icky thump
    hotel yorba
    seven nation army
    rated x
    when i hear my name
    there was another new song about breaking off a relationship--its called Martyr

    both new songs were really good. effect and cause is acoustic and great lyrically...Martyr was sad sounding and great musically and lyrically.

    i was there too. it was awesome. kinda short, but full of energy. they had to be exhausted.

    the best i can remember they also played:
    dead leaves on the dirty ground
    jolene(which i thought he played extremely well)
    cannon


    probably others i just cant think. i enjoyed the opening band quite a bit. dan surtain, i think. they had a real heavy 50's rock sound i thought was pretty cool. even the music between acts was great. alternating ac/dc and old blues i couldnt quite pinpoint, really set the mood. the only bad thing is i wanted a picture and they were total nazi's about no photography, i saw people get walked out. oh well the memory will just have to live in my head.

    I'm excited, + I get a day of rest after Dylan and Thorogood before I see them.

    i seriously doubt it. they had really strict rules on photos (let alone video). more than a few folks were escorted out for taking a photo...it was a no warning rule.
