So by moving down south in a month, I lose Radiohead but gain Waits.
Deal.
Yeah, that’s right New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. For once you can enjoy watching someone else get an awesome concert! Vengence is mine!
HAHAHAHA…Phoenix but not LA. Suck it, moderately temperatured neighbors to the west!
This was pretty good.
He should call this the red state tour.
It’s a rare moment of vengeance schadenfreude for those of us outside NY, LA and Chicagoland (aka the “US Tour” itinerary for any cool European band you may care to mention.)
I will now saw a tune on the world’s tiniest violin as I queue up for the Atlanta show and contemplate road trips to Mobile and Birmingham.
Houston, here I come.
@Reidicus: Haha. So OTM here.
