My eyes deceive me!
did they have to pick such a barn to play in, though?
On sale sunday (5/11) at 10am.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Will Kevin personally burn each venue down on the tour to make sure not one fan is left alive?
I hate the Concourse, and I lost a good 20% of the hearing in my right ear when I saw them in '92. Of _course_ I am going to this show.
Tix are gonna run around $60 after Ticketbastard fees...
It's a sin this place has the worst audio, but i must, i must.
Tickets purchased, but whomever booked them into the Concourse needs to gaze into my shoe as I whack their noggin repeatedly with the sole of it.
I've never stopped shoegazing

I had already purchased tickets for ATP when the San Francisco show was announced. Ugh, I loathe the Concourse! Worst venue in town. I would have gladly signed up to see them a second time if they were playing someplace better. Oh well, ATP is drawing near... getting excited!
I have an extra ticket if anyone needs one. Send me a note if interested.
Great show much, much, much, more polished than the June ICA show in London. Even the more difficult songs like To Here Knows When, Thorn, & Soon didn't become buried in the mix of the instruments (then again I was about 10 from the front center stage)
Crowd was BORING! it was like a hoodie convention and people trying to show off their cool asian girlfriends. WTH happened! I remember when seeing shows in SF was fantastic the crowds were into it and we'd all jump around, instead people just stood there. Then to add insult to injury I head comments later like "I really like those new songs" WHAT NEW SONGS!!!?
Needless to say the venue was better than I expected and as far as 90s bands reuniting MBV are at the top of that pyramid with the Pixies. They sounded exceptional, and throughly on their game. Guess a lot of practice was done between June and September!
