    Just a little tip for east coast people, the borgota in AC is a good view but if your like me and get a little wild when Steve goes off, they dont let you move around.

    Man that sucks! Well, maybe a miracle will happen! ;)
    And the lineup is Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Jon Anderson, Alan White, and replacing Rick Wakemam (apparently he is having health issues) is his son Oliver Wakeman. So pretty close to the lineup!
    (It's all about Steve anyway :tongue: )
    Cheers!

    Very nice! The lineup sounds just fine - son's do a great job, usually! I heard John Bonham's (of late, Led Zepplin) son Jason play with Foreigner, and Zepplin in their recent concert. I think he's actually better'n his dad.

    You know they'll probably be doing some recording at one of the shows. Can't wait for the new live album, LOL...

    :( The entire tour was cancelled. Fuck.

    I hope they come back on tour. It would be tragic if this was the beginning of the end.

    Ah well, still have Rush in Toronto July 9 ;)
