The crowds for the shows I attended were definitely in the hundreds. One had
to be
sold out (in fact I think it was oversold - it was packed!) and the other was
close to
being full. Both venues held around 800 to 1000 people, I believe.
>From what I saw of the setlists that were posted from Australian dates
earlier this
year, I think you guys will hear a few more "rare" songs than we will, which
makes
sense since they play a lot more often down there. In trying to sort of
re-establish
themselves in the states I think the band probably feels the need to play
more of
a "greatest hits" type set here than it does there. Of course the hard core
fans
like us want to hear stuff that's more rare or maybe our personal favorites
that don't
get played much (I'd love to hear Pictures). But I don't have any complaints
about
what they did play when I saw them.
