    He was not too far off. I thought Working man wasn't that great a tribute.

    As long as FW leaves their new stuff at home.

    I am setting up a pre-show party at The Rock Bottom Brewery,
    next door to the Orpheum. I will decide on a time after the
    tickets go on sale and I have a show start time.

    Please email me privately and I will add you to my list for
    future updates.

    I will email the band and see if any of them are interested in
    making an appearance.

    Thanx

    (Rant mode on)

    We, the citizens (fans, supporters, fellow artistes, aficionados, connoisseurs, whatever the term of the day may be), are inundated with ridiculous (and rising) ambiguous fee's and surcharges from TICKETMASTER, which is one reason I don't attend many major events any longer. I don't want to support a
    monopolized industry that is robbing from the citizens to feed their growing coffers, and offering nothing in return but a 'ticket'. Exchanges, refunds, and good customer service (if you can even get THAT far) are virtually unheard of, so, like with computer software, we pay inflated prices,
    rationalized by 'customer services improvements' which is a load of rubbish, and the quality and quantity of service dwindles to what amounts to acceptable legal extortion. Look at the breakdown of prices that Kez posted: Verilly, almost 36% of a ticketprice is abstract corporate bullshit price
    inflation without rhyme or reason, as far as I know. Where are the Deities of Justice and Compassion, I ask thee?

    Wish I was going to see DT. I don't have many options, they aren't even playing close to the Carolina's.

    Great link! Gotta love this part, they're building in
    "planned obsolescence" too:

    "Even when the protection technology works as
    intended, Wirtz said that normal wear and tear could
    eventually overwhelm the error correction for the
    altered discs, causing them to become unreadable
    within a few years. "

    Lot's of other good stories there too:

    Returing cd's can defeat them:

    http://news.com.com/2100-1023-276036.html?legacy=cnet

    Name 'em and shame 'em:

    http://www.fatchucks.com/corruptcds/

    As for dvd's that can't be recorded onto VHS, it looks
    like AOL Time Warner has taken the lead and made all
    of their dvd's unrecordable. Unfortunately, that
    includes the dvd of DT/SFaM...

    What software is commonly used to turn DVD audio into
    WAV files? I assume that's what will be required for
    me to take songs off of my dvd's and put them onto a
    cd-r. Or have they figured out how to stop us from
    doing that too?

    Right on dude. G3 was comin' to my town, but changed their mind after the
    9/11 events that followed. Soooo, TicketBastich ripped me and my buddies
    off, with about $5 of so called service when we went in for the refund.
    Now, DT is comin', and we had the chance to buy the tickets without the TM
    surcharge if we bought them at the venue, but, unfortunately those ticket
    sales go off until february i think, while the TM tickets already are in
    sale. The venue is kinda small (1500-2000 capacity), so we were in a way
    obligated to buy a ticket now off TM if we wanted to make sure that we go to
    the concert, 4cause i don't think that there'll be any tickets left by
    february.

    Mauricio

    PS. The surcharge for this ticket is actually almost half of that ticket for
    the G3 concert. But then, the G3 gig was going to take place in a way bigger
    venue.

    What this shows me is that there are lots of people who don't trust their
    local CD shops to supply the disc on the release date or close enough to. I
    thought this problem wasn't mine with Utopia Records here in Sydney. They
    had SFaM ready and waiting for the release date to tick over.

    However, from my calls to them, they refuse to give a date when they'll have
    it, and they only say "early february". This might just be store policy to
    not give exact dates, but it still makes me paranoid. However, I will pin my
    hopes on Utopia... so they'd better come good!

    Cheers,

    Niall

    I asked a guy at Utopia yesterday and he told me they would have it in
    stock on Jan 24th, both normal jewel case version and digipak. He told
    me they would have 100 or so copies.
