I'll be at the Toronto show, saw em in 2002 on the Vapor Trails tour and was blown away. Can't wait to see them again.

I'll plan on hitting the Jones Beach show for sure.

Seattle- July20

Ottawa Sept 21. Hope to be there.

montreal, wohoo!!

do they have fanclub seating? i plan on seeing them in charlotte (tickets go on sale the 31st) and i dont want to rush online right at 10am if i'm not going to get "good" seats anyway

There's a pre-sale going on at rush.com. Just need to sign up an e-mail address and you can buy tickets for the tour!

Good luck!

sweet, thanks!

sorry for the DP, but does anyone know of a website that has concert chronology for the band? i tried googling it, but wouldn't you know it, four of the first 10 results were linked to either twofeetthick or fivehorizons

i've heard that they generally close with working man and that they don't play closer to the heart anymore (no real loss there), but i was wondering what else is usually on the setlist

All you could ever want...

thanks for the info. got my tix for Seattle, July 20!!!

I'm really going to try to make it to the July 28th show.

Are they a band that is worth seeing more than once? I.e. do they play a different show each night (like PJ) or do they recycle the same setlist every night like a lot of bands?

I'm definitely going to see them in LA and debating whether or not to see them in NJ too.

I'm pretty sure they play the same set every night.

Still might be worth it to go to both though. If it's no trouble.

I'm going to the Bristow show June 23. Don't know if I want to make the trek up to Camden for a second show though.
Have to think about that.

i'm not sure there's any reason to see them more than once in your life unless you're a huge fan of the band. they play basically the same show for an entire tour. It's well-rehearsed and technically proficient, but not exactly transcendent.

Thanks. I am a very big fan, but if they play the same show, once is enough for me.

They do typically play the same set for the entire tour.

That being said, they are one of the nest live bands I have ever seen. They are incredibly tight, and very high energy. They obviously love playing, and it shows each and every night.
