Red Mosquito

Got my confirmation this morning! Who am I going to see there???

I will be there. Haven't been to Sacramento to see them since 1998!

Oh, hell yeah. My cousin and I were at that one as well! It got frickin' hot in the pit at ARCO that summer.

Me and my two spawn, both of whom will be attending their first concert.

Amazing! Raise 'em right!

Long shot, but looking for one extra ticket on the floor. I got fortunate to get 2 through the ticketmaster fan2fan, but still looking for one.

Anyone know when the merch line opens tomorrow?

Eagerly anticipating the next opening 3 songs. I’d love to see Hard to Imagine, Fatal, Alright or Of the Girl, Otherside, Can’t Keep or Sometimes, Yellow Moon, Buckle Up

Think we're due for Wash or Long Road opener. Oceans as a dark horse? I think there's going to be a Gigaton makeup element so maybe Retrograde in the first few songs. Probably Nothingman in the mix as well.

I'd personally love Alright as an opener.

Or... Upper Hand!

They’ve already done Wash and Long Road this tour. If they repeat, I doubt it’ll be this soon.

Yeah, guess my point was it probably won't be Release. All openers are in play. They have been practicing Can't Keep.

I wonder if the setlists are restricted by the visualizers they have…

they should play release but use the SBWM stick figure video for the visualizer

I think whenever they don't have a specific visualizer for a song, they default to the regular shots of the band playing.

I'm loving this big video screen backdrop (from what I've seen on YouTube)

I mean, it's the Dark Matter tour? I think it's great to see this tour have some unique character.

By the measure of virtually any other band of their ilk, that's still a lot of potential variety (to put it mildly).

Yeah so far this seems like a great way to structure the show. Exciting to salivate over which 4 old songs you'll get to start out.

I love the band...love the new album...and have seen quite a few shows since '93. But when have they ever done a structured set list like this for 3 shows in a row? At this point, we basically know 1/3 of the show in terms of what songs are played and where in the set list.

Could it be just a glitch or a blip in the matrix?
Is it because of the new screen?
Is this the new normal?

Let's face it...their bread and butter is fans travelling to see multiple shows (and buying tons of merch) and they've admitted to that. Once they start down this path, I think they'll see those numbers dwindle. And it doesn't help that tickets aren't getting any cheaper.

Yes, I'm whining. Yes, they can do whatever the hell they want. I just never thought they'd do this.
