Never been there sorry. If I do go I'll be sure to show you all my holiday photos.

Excellent

Between you and me though, I have it on good authority that the place is full of Americans.

Oh, how distasteful.

I've never tasted one.

You've obviously lead a very sheltered life.

I don't read every single review but overall they have seemed positive.

This is a review of the Seattle show on September 23rd, or September 32nd as the title says

I believe I will be going to the 3 shows in Texas. I've never seen them before. I don't have super high expectations, since they are 30+ years past their prime. Still, I listen to them probably more than any other band, so I have to go. I am sure they'll be good, and I also want to show my appreciation.

Ouch.

I didn't mean it quite like that. 1) What I've read about their live shows on here has been pretty much just negative - so that's an influence on my expectations. 2) The stuff I listen to by them by far the most is from the early 80's. I think everyone would agree they aren't that band anymore. They are good, but their next album is not going to be Porcupine 2. 3) I'm not a big concert goer anymore anyway.

Basically, I expect a real good time, just not life changing. That's big for me.

I hope you will enjoy seeing them and won’t be disappointed. You seem to have an optimistic outlook planning to go to 3 shows Please post your review of how it went afterwards.

I didn’t expect a life-changing experience going to my first EATB concert last year, but that’s exactly what I got. I’m not an impressionable teen (or even a twenty-something person) and I don’t say that about every new artist/band I see. I understand that EATB nowadays is very different from the original line-up and their special chemistry, and I envy people who were there to witness the original magic, but somehow the current vibe still shook me to the core. Now I’m looking forward to seeing the band for the 2nd and 3rd time in November to check if that was a one-off accident or a real thing.

I just went to the Tempe, AZ show and I was like you....I did not expect anything super intense due to Mac and Will getting up there in age..but dear god...Mac and Will blew me (and the whole audience) away!!!! Life-Changing without a doubt! Mac's vocals sounded right on point, he hit the high notes on classics like Rescue, Over the Wall, Ocean Rain and much much more with ease! His Mac swagger was perfect...he talked with the crowd on a number of times and sparked up a cigarette in perfect Mac style! They ended up doing two encores and finished out the night with Ocean Rain. I still can't believe how amazing they sounded! I will try and get some videos up I took on my phone..but here is the setlist:

Opened up with the monk chants
Going up
Crocodiles
Rescue
My Kingdom
Over the Wall
Never Stop
Villiers Terrace / Roadhouse Blues
Bring on the Dancing Horses
The Killing Moon
The Cutter
Encore:
Nothing lasts Forever / Walk on the Wild Side
Lips like Sugar
Encore 2:
