Gigaton is like hooking up with your high school crush at the reunion. It's great, it's exactly what you've wanted forever, but just not where you are anymore.

I haven't been able to get fan club tickets since like 2013. To any show. To any of them. Not just NYC. But any of them.

It's the universe correcting itself after you scored the HoF induction tickets.

If it wasnt for a kind soul here I would be paying for the rafters.

That also had nothing to do with the fan club. Getting PJ tickets outside of the fan club is far easier.

Again, I didn't get fan club tickets. So, it'll all come down to whether or not I'm able to score something right before the show starts like I've done the last few times. We'll see...

I still think this is the best album they made since the 90s. There are six albums I think are truly great and its the first four, ST, and Gigaton. It's incredible that they were able to do this after LB which I think I liked better than Backspacer at the time but now like much less.

Who Ever Said is an awesome opener, but didn't seem that great live sadly from the clip I saw. It's amazing on the album though.

Also I still love DOTC

WES sounds a lot better on the bootlegs than it did on any YouTube clips I saw. I could also hear this one tightening up as they play it more.

I'm surprised you don't group Yield with Ten --> No Code.
