Congrats on the score, Bitch.

GA's were actually available again a couple of hours after the 10AM on sale.
Typical TM bait and switch.

Since the entire field is GA for these shows, it promises to be a clusterfuck of monumental proportions.

I'm taking a wait and see attitude until other - read: smaller - venues are announced.

Worse comes to worse there's always the 5PM day of show drops... Wink

Yeah in the GA you tend to get pushed and shoved, but it's cool to push your way to the front! I like the side of stage area best at Giants Stadium, it's much closer to the stage than first row, which is set back. Only thing is I didnt see Clarence well from the right side, next time I'll do the left side. Thats where I saw MICK really close up, when the Stones had a runway thing going on. That was cool, baby!

Real or imagined, fans have applied a certain gravitas to the GS shows - especially 10/3.

IMO, a better way to handle it would've been to include 10/9 in yesterday's on sale and then make the earlier dates the added shows.

But since no other dates have been announced, there's no way of knowing for certain if they'll really be the "last" shows of the tour.

On another note, Bruce covered James Carr's soul classic 'The Dark End of The Street' tonight in Finland. Cool

I wonder if Cong. Pascrell will commence hearings about this latest outrage. I love that song (the James Carr version). It was also done in The Commitments.
