Well, they might have sent that to a few more people than just this MD. But as always, I’ve got some exclusives from the road. Check out this personal picture I received from Benson, our Sunday Brunch host, who just got back from seeing them in Vegas!
… and just as exclusive, pictures from the line for bad beer! Can you believe it?

WARNING!!!
My husband and I took our 16 year old son to see his favorite band at the Vancouver show last night. We are subscribers and so bought presale tickets. We believed in the 360 “no bad seats” idea, and thought our tickets were going to be good.
We were very disappointed, and my son was absolutely crushed at our concert experience. We were sitting behind one of the “claw” legs, and for at least 75% of the show we could only see Larry Mullen Jr.’s back. We could only actually see the other three if they walked out on the ramps or the circular walkway, which they did rarely and briefly. The top of the claw leg also obstructed a third of the round giant screen, so we only got a partial view of the performances even on the screen.
We love the band and their music, we aren’t complaining about the performance, but just want to SERIOUSLY warn people who want to buy tickets to the Seattle show next June that they need to be very careful where their seats are. I really think that we had the worst possible seats, just in the right spot to make it so we could have stayed home and listened to a live album and had a better musical experience. We were soooo disappointed, and I’m heartbroken for my son, whose first concert for his favorite band was nothing like I would have wanted for him.
Please warn people, we really want no one else to have the same bad experence we had next summer.
