Looks like it's all about Stage 4, Mike. Especially Unearthed and Gojira, don't miss either of them.

I am tempted by Sonisphere this year - the big 4 with Diamond Head opening up for them. Bloodstock is an incredible line-up this year too.

Heh, sorry.  Since I've discovered Abney Park, I've noticed that when they leave the Seattle area, it's pretty much only to play cons and similar events, and before now, the closest I've seen is DragonCon, which is in freaking Georgia or something.  I need to scrounge up $110 by the end of the month, but that covers the whole weekend at the con AND the show, so seriously?  WAY better deal than the last time I saw NIN.

Hate to think how much tickets will be touted for.

I take it the nearest hospital has two beds in the ER set aside for the ensuing rage that will occur post show? :P

Rage and fainting, yeah I figure.  ;D

I don't believe the official annoucement was made until just before the show began, although more than a few people had figured it out (mainly due to Nick Mason announcing he was attending that exact performance).

I think you called it a long time ago that it would be a London performance.

Got lower bowl seats for queens/soundgarden which I'm ok with since I just spent most of yesterday evening staring at various guy's sweaty backs :(

Seriously the only time I really feel short is when I'm on the floor at a show
Oh hi

I haven't been to a show in some time...

However, I will be performing in Philly on June 18th as part of NerdRage

So, uh, that should be interesting.

LCD Soundsystem and The Flaming Lips are the most recent shows I went to. Both were quite enjoyable in different ways.

LCD Soundsystem was fantastically raw and stripped down awesomeness. The crowd was great and it was deffinitely as much fun as I've ever had at a concert.

The Flaming Lips was really good and the first time I have actually laughed at such an event. Diametrically opposed to the LCD show, it was full of all the props, colors, etc. that you'd expect from them. Two problems: short setlist and awful, awful audience.

Will probably go to see Tricky on the 21st.

I was pretty disappointed in Tricky when I saw them open for Tool.  I guess part (most) of that was just being bitter than if I had seen them 2 shows earlier I would have seen The Melvins open instead.
