Forgot to mention - they were wonderful. Bit of a slow burn start, but around 30mins in and I found it picked up significantly.

Side note to those still going - they have vinyl for sale on the merch stand :wink:

Yeah I'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay scalpers' prices for Detroit. There is no way I am missing this.

Given their (anti)stance on all things commercial, it might be worth a chat to one of the roadcrew to see if a charitable donation could get you in, rather than lining the pockets of a ticket tout. Might not work, but you never know... :wink:

Thanks s7409651!

GYBE allow bootlegging of their gigs, which makes life much more civilised in my view

I JUST saw them play here in Seattle last Thursday. Show was sold out for months, but luckily I scored some tickets and it was exactly what I expected: nothing short of amazing. I shed a few tears, for sure. :X

Oh wait that's right - I didn't because my life sucks!

I saw them three nights in a row last year. Still haven't got over how good it was.
Since they quit playing live back when I was still in collage it was a big surprise when they announced the shows.

Also, not a mention of 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! on this thread? WTF?

Got to see them a week ago Saturday in Pomona (Los Angeles) & they were fantastic. Great reverent crowd. Luckily I won some tix. Don't miss them if you get the chance.

'Lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven' did nicely for me
