I wonder how many Eyeballers will be among the Lucky 1,000!
Again, heaps of thanks for letting us know, Matt.

I have way more 4AD CDs than any other label. Their “golden age” was just mind-blowingly fun to experience as a fan — amazing bands, cool artwork by a stable of aesthetically unified designers, lots of EPs and other collectibles to track down at the import shops… Unparalleled, really. Good times!

I’d much rather see a recent Johnny Marr gig on the big screen!

The press release from Blondie (where these dates originally came from) made no mention of X only playing some dates.

And this is posted on X’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10151645872237020&id=37877887019

According to Vaughan, the price is likely to be three times the figure quoted on Amazon. It would seem that Amazon has jumped the gun a little seeing as V.O. has not even finished the design for the special edition yet!

Uh – shouldn’t the title be “Facing The Wrong Way” (i.e., the title of the 1995 compilation)?

Why in IMAX 3-D?! That seems to be overkill – but then again maybe it’s an effort to make it up to the fans who missed out after he cancelled the dates on his last tour – and the tour before that, and the tour before that AND the tour before that… I hope and pray he didn’t take his shirt off in this performance like he typically has done the last several times I’ve seen him. I don’t need to see that in 3-D. A nation turns its back and gags…
