Jeremy - I was crying about my inability to go to the shows until I read your message.  That is really sad dude and I am so sorry to hear it.  That's what sucks about being a fan of a band from another country...especially one so far away...I hope you get back to the Oils playlist very soon.

Hi all,
 
I'm with Terry, Heidi and many others. It's hard discovering exactly what you would or wouldn't pay (maybe that should be can or cannot pay) for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I, for one, have never seen the Oils live (WHAT!?) Yes..."Sad, but True" as Metallica says. However, I live and breathe by the absolutely incomparable fan base the Oils excited over the years and so appreciate all of the dialog and sharing of video, live audio, etc. that you all so graciously and generously mediate.  Really, for never having seen the Oils, I feel like I know the band and music a little too well thanks to all of you...thank you, thank you, thank you.
 
As a sad, pathetic ,side note, I run about 30 minutes every20morning here in misty, rainy, beautiful Oregon, USA and have 350+ Oils tracks (studio + live) on my iPod playing on shuffle. The other day I "broke-up" with the Oils 'cause I just couldn't take the fact that I could not pay the $2500+ to fly over to catch the shows while having little time to request off work. By breaking up, I started my run by shuffling my entire iPod, instead of just Oils. However, once I was half-way done with my run, sure enough, a live version of "One Country" came on and I immediately remembered the article discussing how Rob wanted to end the MCG set with it, as a uniting song for the country.  Upon listening, I felt like "One Country" meant something more akin to "One World"...I felt the connection that I know so many of you do to the importance of the meaning behind the music of the Oils and I finished my run off strong, making up with the Oils.
 
Well, one more pathetic side note... I was on the Ticketek site at sale time, I had plane tickets and concert tickets in online shopping carts, etc. I was going to go, but just couldn't do it in the end.  Upon finally deciding I just couldn't make the trip, I, being a grown man-boy of 34, actually TOTALLY had tears streaming down my face when my fiancĂ©e as ked me if I was going to be ok by NOT taking advan tage my one and only chance to see the Oils live.  Seriously, I was, and am still quite sad and think I need an Oil-aholics meeting for support. Well, that may not work 'cause I'll never admit that being addicted to the Oils is a problem...
 
Thanks for reading...oh wait, you probably NOT reading 'cause your prepping to go to a show!! That pretty much rocks...I'm jealous, but extremely glad to know you all get to see them and that they get to play together again.  As a musician, I know that, the only thing better than seeing a great live show is PLAYING a great live show. I hope you all put on a good show for the Oils and that they live up to their reputation and bring it faithfully, rehearsed or not...can't wait to hear about it and see whatever video makes it out....
 
:-)
Jeremy

I, sadly, could not raise the $4000US to make the trip from home to there.  Thus, I hope each of you rock just a little harder for my sake.
 
At least I have the internets.  So, when will this be broadcast in Universal Time?
