Tons of great info, although the person asking the questions sure makes a lot of mistakes.  Contra?

It's hard to beat Saraba to the punch on these things...

[Hawkeye]

Nice read, thanks!  Yeah, I did notice the "Contra" mistake!  Now I'm going to have to go listen to the theme song from Contra...it's been too long, don't remember what it sounds like.

also Sweden is like a half day ahead of St. Louis...so...don't feel bad, BH

I'm sort of geeked to hear that they'll be playing the songs in sequential order.   :)  Was wondering about that.

Hahaha, yup I totally live in the future and actually we don't have a lot of MMJ stuff here in the future since all the info comes from the past.  I do however have some lottery numbers for you guys and gals...  ;)

Just when I think they couldn't be any dumber...they go and TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!

Seriously? I mean I just assumed there's no openers for this. If Dog opened, I don't know what I would do. IF WAX FUCKING FANG OPENS I MIGHT KNOCK OVER THE ENTER PIT WITH MY HUGE ERECTION

[ALady]

Ooooh, Dr. Dog or the Fang would be so nice.   :)

I know they'll do us right with these openers.

It should definitely be interesting to see how everything comes full circle. They're songs like "Honest Man," "Just Because I Do," and "Butch Cassidy" that we haven't done in years. I don't even think we've ever done those live.


I don't understand what he's talking about in the last sentence.   What are the THOSE he is referring to - the 3 songs he just listed?   Because they've certainly played those songs live a ton.   I was wondering if he meant with the band in current incarnation - but a quick search of the archive shows those songs played occassionally in 06, 07, 08.... does he really not remember playing them?

While I am slightly saddened it is not fang, those are all interesting and I've never heard of any of them aside from Dungen
